As the world mourns a legend, we hold your family in our hearts, knowing he will live on through the love he poured into all of you. He will never truly be gone." "Long time fan of James van der Beek, from his Dawson's Creek days and beyond. Heartbroken by the news and sending prayers and light to Kimberly and their beautiful family." "The immense wave of affection you are receiving in these hours is a testament to the person you are and to what you represented, through the character of Dawson, for an entire generation that is now grieving. To your family and your friends, a heartfelt embrace from Italy." "I don't want to live in a Beeklessworld." "When Dawson's Creek came out, I was almost 16 years old, exactly like the main characters. I was (and still am) a film enthusiast and aspiring director, a lover of Spielberg's movies. Just like Dawson. My small donation is a drop in the ocean, but I want to pay tribute to James Van Der Beek and his wonderful family. Because to me he was much more than a good actor: for me, he is - and always will be - the symbol of a dream that, even today, almost thirty years later, is what gives me the strength to keep going. Thank you, James!" "Like many I first came across James in my teenage years through watching Dawson's Creek. I know he has had many great professional achievements since then but I want to say thank you for your role in that show . It is my comfort show, I have had many ups and downs with depression but Dawson's was a constant throughout. It brought my joy, comfort and a sense of safety when at times being in my own head didn't even feel safe. It has and will always have a special place in my heart and I have watched the full show more times than I can count. So thank you James for your role in my life and for many many others who have loved you in so many different projects throughout your career." "I used to watch Dawson's Creek in the 90's. It was the highlight of my day after school in Perú. Thanks James for your amazing job as an actor and more important for being a good human and father. We need more people like you in this world. Sending prayers and strength to the family." "So many great TV and movie memories. From Dawson's Creek to Varsity Blues. Dancing With the Stars and the Masked Singer...
Thank you for being so open with your cancer journey which will help so many...
Watching you with your beautiful family, so much love and appreciation....
Sending my love and sympathy to the whole Van Der Beek family and all of James' loved ones, friends and family." "I remember planning my night around the premiere of Dawson Creek for weeks when I was an adolescent . I was so excited. The show impacted me so much as did all of James' work. My condolences to his dear beautiful family. The heavens are shining much brighter tonight. May you all find peace." "Dawsons Creek meant so much to me. It was a weekly treat to watch a new episode, chat about it after and learn about relationships. I will always cherish it in my heart. I send so much love to his family and friends. James was an amazing actor. Goodbye my friend xx" "'All the answers to life's questions can be found in a Spielberg film'. - Dawson Leery (Pilot Episode Dawson's Creek). So I quote you this Dawson... To live... to live would be an awfully big adventure." - Peter Banning (Hook, 1991) And what a magnificent adventure you lived. Rest easy boy by the creek." "Your words were so powerful. No one could have passed with such dignity. You embodied what a good person meant. The world is a better place because you existed and your light will continue to shine." Ugh! So freakin' sweet! And these are just some of the messages. There's hundreds, if not thousands. You can see the campaign and donate HERE. Our heart continues to be with James' family, friends, and fans.
