Among the stars who didn't make the in memoriam tribute were James Van Deek, Eric Dane, and Brigitte Bardot.

Details have emerged about how Van Der Beek, who starred on Dawson’s Creek from 1998 to 2003, spent his final days with family before his passing on February 11, 2026.

The 'Dawson's Creek' actor passed away at the age of 48 last week.

The late actor, with help from friends, transitioned his family’s Austin property from rental to ownership ahead of his passing.

His GoFundMe has crossed $2 million.

'I really miss him already,' he wrote in the caption of the heartbreaking photo.

James Van Der Beek previously revealed in late 2024 that he was battling colorectal cancer.

The actor gave a health update on 'Good Morning America' where he expressed that the diagnosis has been "a lot" for him to handle emotionally.

The actor wrote, '100% of my net proceeds will go to families recovering from the financial burden of cancer (including my own).'

The 47-year-old 'Dawson's Creek' actor will also appear on a cancer awareness special next month.

James Van Der Beek revealed that his eldest daughter has not only discovered his crying meme from 'Dawson's Creek,' but has used it against him.

The 1999 James Van Der Beek-starring football drama is getting a modern reboot at mobile-oriented streaming service Quibi.

"It would have to be a reinvention of sorts."
