James Ransone’s wife, Jamie McPhee, has broken her silence on her husband’s death by suicide.
Ransone, who was 46, is survived by 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’ve told you I’ve loved you a thousand times before and I know I’ll love you again.”
The post included a photo of Ransone cradling Jamie’s baby bump while he was 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 has also made a plea to the masses with a GoFundMe page to raise money for her and the kids. The fundraiser has raised $44,468 of its $120,000 goal to date.
“On Friday, December 19, we lost James Ransone – beloved husband, father and friend,” reads the description on the GoFundMe page. “James, who his friends called PJ, was funny, magnetic, brilliant and endlessly alive. Above all, he was an extraordinary father.”
“This fund has been established to support Jamie and the children as they navigate their lives after unimaginable loss,” it added. “The goal is simple: to give Jamie the space to fully focus on Jack and Violet, caring for them, protecting their sense of security and ensuring they have a bright future – even without James’ light in their daily lives.”
