James Ransone’s wife, Jamie McVeigh, has broken her silence about her husband’s death by suicide.
Ransone, who was 46, left behind his wife and two children: son Jack, 6, and daughter Violet, 4.
Jamie took to Instagram to share a tribute to her late husband, writing: “I told you I loved you 1000 times before and I know I will love you again.”
The post contained a photo of Ransone cradling Jamie’s stomach while pregnant with one of their two children.
She continued, “You told me – I need to be more like you and you need to be more like me – and you were absolutely right. Thank you for giving me the greatest gifts – you, Jack, and Violet. We are forever.”
Jamie also made an appeal to fans through a GoFundMe page to raise money for her and her children. So far, the fundraiser has raised $44,468 of its $120,000 goal.
“On Friday, December 19, we lost James Ransone – a beloved husband, father, and friend,” the GoFundMe page description reads. “James, whose friends called him PJ, was funny, engaging, brilliant and endlessly energetic. Above all, he was an exceptional father.”
“This fund was created to support Jamie and the children as they navigate life after unimaginable loss,” she added. “Its purpose is simple: to give Jamie the space to fully focus on Jack and Violet, caring for them, protecting their sense of security, and making sure they have a bright future – even without James’ light in their daily lives.”
