James Van Der Beek’s Wife Kimberly Shares Father’s Day Tribute

James Van Der Beek‘s family is feeling his love from afar.

Four months after the Dawson’s Creek alum died at 48, his wife Kimberly Van Der Beek shared a touching tribute to the late star on the first Father’s Day since his death.

“Missing you so much and thinking of how magnificent you were in every single way today,” she wrote in a June 21 Instagram post. “And somehow, from the other side? You continue to parent. You’re a marvel.”

In her post, Kimberly—who welcomed kids Olivia, 15, Joshua, 13, Annabel, 12, Emilia, 9, Gwendolyn, 7, and Jeremiah, 4, during her marriage to James—shared a carousel of sweet family photos of the Varsity Blues actor with his children from over the years.

Since James’ death in February after a nearly three-year battle with colorectal cancer, Kimberly continues to be open about the family’s grief journey, including how they’re keeping the Elle star’s memory alive.

In fact, the couple’s daughter Emilia shared that she speaks with her father every day.
