Eric Dane, known for his role as Dr. Mark Sloan on the TV show Grey’s Anatomy, revealed in April that he has been diagnosed with ALS. This disease, which impacts the brain and spinal cord, causes nerve cells to deteriorate.
After the news of Dane’s death, many people shared their condolences. Patrick Dempsey, his co-star on Grey’s Anatomy, told Virgin Radio UK’s The Chris Evans Breakfast Show that he was a delightful person to work with.
It’s difficult to express how I feel. I’m truly heartbroken for his kids,” Dempsey shared. “He was incredibly funny and a delight to work with. I want to cherish the memory of him bringing that same joy and fun to every set – that’s how I’ll always remember him.
He was a really funny guy and a pleasure to work with – we clicked right away. I’ll always cherish the fun times we shared and remember how much happiness he brought to others.
Kim Raver, who stars as Teddy Altman, described how her late co-star would often deliver unexpectedly funny lines with perfect timing. She told BBC News that he’d get a playful glint in his eye before delivering a line that would completely surprise and delight everyone.
Kevin McKidd, who plays Owen Hunt, honored his late colleague with a heartfelt message on Instagram Stories, writing “rest in peace buddy.” He shared a photo of the actor in one of his most well-known roles.
Dane was a very tender father to his daughters and loving towards Rebecca. Even when they weren’t around, he seemed to carry them in his thoughts. Actress Alyssa Milano, who worked with him on Charmed, described them as a stunningly beautiful family.
