Eric Dane Passes Away After ALS Battle
The tribute comes just days after Dane passed away at the age of 53 following a battle with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). His death has prompted an outpouring of grief and remembrance from family and well-wishers.
A Final Farewell Through Netflix Special
Before his passing, Dane left behind what many have described as a final love letter to his family through a Netflix special. The project served as a poignant farewell, capturing his last words and including a heartfelt goodbye to his daughters. In the special, Dane expressed his enduring love for Gayheart, saying, "I will have never, by the time anyone sees this, have fallen in love with another woman as deeply as I fell in love with Rebecca."
Dane's Final Days and Family Bonds
Dane and Gayheart had separated in 2018, when she filed for divorce. However, she dismissed the petition in 2025, around the time Dane publicly revealed his ALS diagnosis. Dane was also in a relationship with Janell Shirtcliff near the end of his life, and she shared a tribute in his honour over the weekend.
According to a statement from his family, he was surrounded by "dear friends, his devoted wife (Rebecca Gayheart), and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world" in his final days.
