He’s the first celebrity whose death has ever made me cry (for a couple minutes)—and I’m 51. I couldn't figure out why. It isn’t fandom. It’s that, at least in his public life, he just seemed like a genuinely decent person, and with everything happening in our country right now, the news was hard to hear. So many of us watched him in the late ’90s, back when the world felt a lot less chaotic and frightening.

I wish his wife the strength and support she will need as she faces life with six very young kids.

Today it seems like it's true that only the good die young.

Get your colonoscopy. Follow your med team’s recommendations of gold standard treatment.

He chose to treat the cancer “holistically” and tried “a bunch of different things”.
It’s 100% his choice and decision. But others should not take a stage 3 colorectal cancer diagnosis as a death sentence. Statistically it’s a beatable cancer dx.

He's given interviews regarding how he chose to treat his cancer. This was his response: that he was trying "a bunch of different things". Other sources have said "holistically".

He also had traditional treatments, like chemo.

no true. he chose a "holistic" which is certainly his right. It is not the gold standard or what is recommended by the AMA or any recognized medical group. To suggest otherwise is a disservice and dangerous.

+1 I remember an interview where he talked about doing all the treatments.

There's nowhere he mentions chemo or radiation. He said he was trying "a bunch of different things".

They can’t bc it’s bs. James kept his treatments private. He never said he chose holistic over chemo.

It’s sick to focus on this.

It’s not “sick.” It’s notable because when people die from cancer, people usually will bring a dinner to their home or send flowers. They won’t send donations amounting to $1mn within a few hours.

And it’s notable because most famous people don’t ask fans for money, but in this case with 6 kids, a SAH wife and big medical bills, sounds like James VanDerBeek ran through all money.

James got his. Feels like you are blaming him.

I wasn't blaming him. We (society) need to be aware, we need to be proactive. We need to stop making regular screenings mountains to be fretted over and avoided. Everyone has a body and that body needs care, which includes immunizations (HPV), colonoscopies, mammograms and pap smears for women, and prostate checks for males. These shouldn't be taboo, scary things.

Enough with the lecture. He just passed away.

No one is talking to him. We are having an important discussion.

Me too. It seems like Kimberly has never worked (at least since she married him). I hope he had good life insurance. Raising six kids and maintaining a big farm in Texas (or anywhere, really) must be incredibly expensive. I have a feeling they weren't in a good place financially since James was auctioning off memorabilia from his football movie.

Wife has already started a gofundme

Lol the rich persons go to. She can't work?

Her husband isn't even buried yet. She and her kids are in mourning. She has a farm/ranch to run. Her youngest child is 2 or 3 years old. She hasn't worked since 2010 because she's been a SAHM.

All of this is true, but most people don’t have this luxury when their spouse dies. But she’s already collected 522k in just a few hours so it’s good to be famous.

There's really nothing good about this. But if he brought joy to people and it makes them feel good to toss a few bucks to his family, so what?
