The entertainment world is mourning the loss of Eric Dane, who passed away on February 19, 2026, following a difficult battle with ALS. One day later, his wife, Rebecca Gayheart, was seen leaving his Los Angeles home in a quiet and somber moment. Though she has not released a public statement, she chose to honor him by sharing heartfelt family memories on social media. Through a series of photos, Rebecca highlighted Eric’s most meaningful role—being a devoted father to their daughters, Billie and Georgia. The images captured birthdays, holidays, playful afternoons, and tender embraces, offering a glimpse into the private family life they built together over more than two decades.
Eric’s girlfriend, Janell Shirtcliff, also shared personal photos in tribute, posting candid moments that reflected their bond. While their relationship histories were complex—marked by separation, reconciliation, and enduring friendship—Rebecca and Eric remained closely connected, especially after his ALS diagnosis. Despite filing for divorce years earlier, the case was dismissed in 2025, and they continued to support one another as co-parents and friends. In the months leading up to his passing, Rebecca stood by his side, and Eric publicly described her as his greatest source of strength. Together with tributes from loved ones and fans, these shared memories now serve as a powerful reminder of the actor’s legacy both on screen and at home.
