James Van Der Beek was someone so many of us grew up watching, but beyond the screen, he was a husband, a father of six, and a man who chose to face colorectal cancer with honesty and courage.

By sharing his diagnosis publicly, James helped shine a light on a disease that is too often overlooked, especially among younger adults. His openness gave other families permission to talk about the hard things, to ask questions, and to seek screening.

Our hearts are with his wife, his children, and everyone who loved him. We stand with them and with every family navigating colorectal cancer right now.

In James’ memory, learn your risk, talk to your doctor about screening starting at 45 (or earlier if you’re at higher risk), and support research through Project Cure CRC at colorectalcancer.org/cureCRC.

We honor his life, his legacy, and the love he leaves behind.
