To honor James David Van Der Beek, take time to understand your personal risk for colorectal cancer and speak with your doctor about beginning screening at age 45 or sooner if you have increased risk factors! 💙

James Van Der Beek, the actor who endeared himself to a generation of television viewers as the star of the drama series “Dawson’s Creek,” died Wednesday.

“He met his final days with courage, faith, and grace,” Kimberly Van Der Beek, his wife, said on Instagram. “There is much to share regarding his wishes, love for humanity and the sacredness of time. Those days will come.”

In early November 2024, Van Der Beek announced he had been diagnosed with Stage 3 colorectal cancer, which develops in the colon or re**um.

He chronicled his experience living with cancer on Instagram, where he frequently paid tribute to his wife and children for their support.

We encourage everyone to prioritize their digestive health, listen to their body, and follow recommended screening guidelines. Early detection saves lives. 💙

Thank you, Catherine O'Hara, for the joy that you gave to the world. We know firsthand how much cancer takes, but it cannot take your legacy.

As we remember this incredible woman, keep in mind that one of the most impactful ways to honor someone lost to cancer is to take care of your own health — that means listening to your body and getting screened💙
