James Van Der Beek's Final Days: Vow Renewal in Bed with Kimberly

James Van Der Beek renewed his vows with his wife, Kimberly, two days before passing away from cancer at age 48. The ceremony was intimate, involving close friends and music by Poranguí.

Heartfelt Ceremony

Kimberly described the vow renewal as "simple and beautiful," with music concluding with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Their friends organized the event, filling their room with flowers and candles.

A Life Together

James and Kimberly were married on August 1, 2010, and had six children together. James was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in August 2023 and died on February 11.

Legacy and Support

After facing financial strain due to medical bills, a GoFundMe raised over $2.6 million to support the Van Der Beek family. James' co-stars, including Katie Holmes, expressed their grief and admiration for him.

He was reportedly working on a memoir before his death. His final projects included contributions to a “Legally Blonde” prequel series and another show set for release in 2025.
