Our thoughts are with Colton Haynes as he his mourning the loss of his mother Dana Haynes who died on Friday. âToday I lost my best friend, the love of my lifeâĤ my momma,â Colton shared to Instagram. âWords canât express how incredible this woman was. I have so many things to say but, Iâm in a state of shock. I will always love you momma. RIP my angel,â he added. His devastating announcement immediately touched stars like Lucy Hale who commented, âColtonâĤ She was beautiful. Iâm so very sorry friend.â Paul W. Downs, Michael Turchinart, and Amelia Gray Hamlin also expressed their condolences. We canât imagine how difficult this is.
In addition to the celebrity support, his fans have shared kind messages as well. âI am so sorry about your mom Colton. May God provide you strength & comfort during this time. Sending hugs & prayers to you & your family. Itâs beautiful to see this tremendous outpour! Colton has been extremely vocal about his motherâs condition. Just last month, the Teen Wolf star revealed Dana was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver and kidney failure. And although a liver transplant could have cured her, it didnât come soon enough. But despite her diagnosis, Colton shared that his mother remained hopeful. âEven when her liver & kidney doctors gave us the worst news you could get, my mom looked at us and said, âThe best thing to do in these situations is to laugh,'â Colton said.
In order to pay for her medical expenses, a Gofundme page was set up. And to honor Danaâs death, any extra donations on the page will go toward the American Liver Foundation to help bring awareness to the devastating condition. We admire Coltonâs strength during this time, itâs clear Dana impacted so many lives.
