The ex-wife of “Scrubs” star Donald Faison, Lisa Askey Faison, passed away on Wednesday under unknown circumstances. Donald shared the news on Instagram, along with a heartfelt post about Lisa, whom he was married to from 2001 to 2005 and with whom he shares three children, 18-year-old twins Dade and Kaya and 16-year-old Kobe.

“My son Dade is very brave. Today he and his brother Kobe and sister Kaya lost their mother. Lisa Askey Faison,” he wrote as the caption for what appears to be a picture of his son Dade and Lisa’s hands interlocked. “She and I never really saw eye to eye but one thing we did share was our love for our children. RIP Lisa. You raised three beautiful children into fine adults and I am forever grateful for that. May god bless your soul with light and love.”

Dade had previously posted the same photo on Instagram with his own message honoring the memory of his mother.

“I just wanted to say thank you so much mom!” he wrote. “You have been there for me when I needed you most. I cant believe it has come to this but I know you are in a better place right now. I love you with all my heart and one day we shall meet again. You worked so hard and never gave up no matter how hard times got. R.I.P mom and until next time!”
