Donald Faison paid tribute to his ex-wife after she died on Wednesday, acknowledging that the pair “never really saw eye to eye” but nonetheless praising her for raising their “three beautiful children into fine adults.”
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, the “Scrubs alum wrote, “My son Dade is very brave. Today he and his brother Kobe and sister Kaya lost their mother. Lisa Askey Faison. She and I never really saw eye to eye but one thing we did share was our love for our children.”
The actor continued, “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.”
Along with his own tribute, Faison re-posted the remembrance penned by his son Dade, who wrote, “I just wanted to say thank you so much mom! 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!”
Neither Donald nor Dade disclosed the cause of death.
Faison married Lisa Askey in 2001, and the pair divorced in 2005.
The actor remarried in 2012, tying the knot with second wife CaCee Cobb.
