James Van Der Beek is being remembered on his first posthumous birthday by his wife, Kimberly Van Der Beek.
Kimberly, 44, honored the actor — who died following a journey with stage 3 colorectal cancer at age 48 on Feb. 11 — with a series of sentimental Instagram Stories posts on Sunday, March 8.
“Would be your 49th birthday today. And I’m missing you tremendously,” the producer wrote on top of one photograph of the pair.
She then shared various other photographs and videos of James, including many with their six children: daughters Olivia, Annabel, Emilia and Gwendolyn, plus sons Joshua and Jeremiah. (Emilia, 9, later spoke about her late father in an emotional video shared on her mom’s Instagram account.)
