In a heartbreaking announcement, Hallmark actor Brennan Elliott has revealed the passing of his wife, Camilla Row, following a long and courageous battle with stage four gastric cancer. The 49-year-old star took to Instagram to pay tribute to his partner of 14 years, who died on March 22 at 5:28 a.m.

“There is no easy way to say this,” Elliott expressed in his emotional post, “but I know my wife @camilla_row would want me to thank every person from around the globe who prayed for her during the past eight years of her intense struggle.” He included a touching photo of Row enjoying a moment on the beach.

Elliott described Row as not just his wife but the backbone of their family: “We lost our rock, my best friend, my soulmate, and the strongest person I’ve ever known. She was also the greatest mother to our children.” Together, they share two beautiful kids: Liam, 12, and Luna, 10.

The star of "Crossword Mysteries" reassured his followers that Row is now “at peace” and free from suffering. “Heaven is a far better place with you in it, my love,” he wrote. “Thank you for being the best wife, mother, and friend ever. Your impact on the gastric cancer community was immense, but your love for me will last forever.”

Elliott’s heart-wrenching tribute spoke volumes about the couple's bond, “If you ever met or knew her, your life was blessed by her presence. I will always be in love with you. I know you’re dancing in heaven, free at last from cancer’s grips. When the Lord calls me, I will join you, and we will dance again.”

Camilla Row, who was a clinical psychologist, had previously shared her challenges with her health. In 2022, Elliott had revealed on social media that Row had endured several bouts with cancer prior to her latest diagnosis. During an interview with Today, Row recounted her frightening journey to diagnosis, which began when she suffered severe heartburn and feared she was having a heart attack. A subsequent endoscopy revealed her shocking diagnosis of stomach cancer, to which she exclaimed, “You can get cancer of the stomach? I knew nothing about it.” This diagnosis ultimately led to her undergoing a stomach removal procedure.

The couple's story shines a light on the profound struggles faced by cancer patients and their families. Elliott's heartfelt messages remind us of the importance of love, support, and seeking awareness within the cancer community. As Brennan Elliott grieves the loss of his ardent companion, his tributes resonate as a fierce reminder of their shared life and the beautiful legacy Camilla Row leaves behind.
