I see him in an interview last month. He was looking rough.

RIP Dawson

RIP Dawson

Yeah he was very emaciated awhile back where he couldn’t go to a reunion but heard he was on the mend! Tough

Sounds like he was a real good guy
the youngest son is only 4. He will never really know his father
Really sucks

Cancer Sucks

RIP

Way too young, feel for his family. I just watched Varsity Blues again last weel. He had that all-American, guy next door look. Girls wanted him and guys wanted to be like him, generally speaking.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Cancer sucks. Rip to him

 

[MonsterD]

RIP Sad for his family.

 

[ShortRound]

Aww man, he was only 48. He seemed so wholesome too. RIP.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

How incredibly sad, way too young to check out of the game. Rest in peace

 

[DasTex]

Get's your colons checked...starting at 45 now I believe. Really a rise lately

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Cancer can strike anyone. It sucks. R.I.P. James.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Didn’t realize how young he was. Sad….

RIP Dawson

Yeah, saw that too and didn't even look like the same actor. Also makes me feel extremely old since I feel like I was already an older man when he was a famous teen star on TV. He was funny in Jay & Silent Bob, but Varsity Blues is still my favorite. RIP.

 

[SlammedZero]

Dang what the heck?? I didn't even know he was sick. I was just talking about Varsity Blues with some friends like a week ago.

Sad. Way too young. RIP good sir.

 

[DallasEast]

48 is far too young. Rest in peace, Mr. Van Der Beek.

Prayers for him and his family. CRC is rough.
