The wife of Dawson’s Creek star James Van Der Beek shared the sad news on Wednesday of her husband’s passing through a GoFundMe. Kimberley Van Der Beek asked fans for donations after the costs of James’ medical care “left the family without funds.”
Van Der Beek was most known for his role as Dawson Leery on the WB teen drama, Dawson’s Creek. The show catapulted him to fame and he quickly became a heartthrob, being named in People magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful in the World.” He quickly found other roles in popular television shows and movies such as Varsity Blues and One Tree Hill.
