First ‘Dawson’s Creek’ Star Shares Emotional Tribute to James Van Der Beek

James Van Der Beek has been remembered in public for the first time by one of his closest ‘Dawson’s Creek’ co-stars.

Katie Holmes has become the first surviving member of Dawson’s Creek’s lead quartet to publicly share her reaction to the death of her co-star and friend at the age of 48 after a battle with colorectal cancer.

Van Der Beek died after a years-long battle with the nasty disease, one that has left his family “out of funds,” according to a fundraising page. He publicly revealed his stage 3 colorectal cancer diagnosis in 2023 after undergoing treatment privately, and shared news of his condition in November 2024.
