Designated Survivor actress and his sister, Virginia Madsen, shared a tribute on her Instagram account on behalf of her entire family, calling him ‘thunder’ and ‘velvet’. She added that she’ll miss their ‘inside jokes, the sudden laughter, the sound of him. ’
“I’ll miss the boy he was before the legend. I miss my big brother. Thank you to everyone reaching out with love and memory. In time, we’ll share how we plan to celebrate his life.
But for now—we stay close, and let the silence say what words can’t.”
