TangledThorns Posted Friday at 02:56 AM Posted Friday at 02:56 AM Dang. This kinda hits close to home as Eric was my age and married one of my 90s crushes. I recall when Eric announced his diagnoses with ALS but didn't think it would kill him this quickly. To me, ALS is scarier than cancer. RIP.

M'Kyuun Posted Friday at 07:37 AM Posted Friday at 07:37 AM The speed at which this disease overtakes its victims is frightening. It makes Dr. Hawking's comparatively long life with the disease all that more curious and amazing. I wasn't aware of Eric's work, as I only watched a handful of eps of Grey's Anatomy when it first premiered. I had to Google him as his name wasn't familiar to me. Nevertheless, at 54, this strikes close to home for me as well. Dane's commitment to his craft in the face of his suffering and deterioration are commendable. He's lost to us, his family, friends, and fans, far too soon. RIP
