Following the tragic passing of actor Eric Dane at the age of 53 due to ALS, Kimberly, the widow of James Van Der Beek, reached out to offer her condolences and support to Rebecca Gayheart, Dane's widow. Kimberly took to Instagram Stories to share a heartfelt message accompanied by a photo of the two couples together, expressing love and reminiscing about the times they spent together, especially during Christmas parties.
The bond between the two couples was evident as they often socialized together and even attended events like the annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball in L.A. where they supported a charity that aids individuals in need of employment and financial stability. Rebecca Gayheart has been actively involved with this organization for a long time, showcasing her commitment to helping others in the community.
Netflix recently released Eric Dane's final interview as part of their posthumous interview series called "Famous Last Words."

Kimberly's message of love and support to Rebecca Gayheart during this difficult time serves as a reminder of the importance of cherishing the moments spent with loved ones and offering comfort to those who are grieving.
