Treat Williams' wife and children are still 'struggling' with the late actor's death, seven months after he died in a tragic motorcycle accident

Treat Williams' family is remembering him seven months after his tragic death.

The late actor's wife, Pam Van Sant, and their two children, Gill and Ellie, are still coping with the loss but say they remember the “beautiful legacy” he left behind.

In an interview with People published On Wednesday, his family shared how they would have celebrated his 72nd birthday with him last month.

The Everwood star died on June 12, 2023 at the age of 71 after a motorcycle accident in Dorset, Virginia.

His wife and children admitted that when it happened they were completely blindsided and are still “struggling” with the fact that he is “really gone.”

“It just feels like such a hole in our family and the fabric of the world,” Pam, 68, told the outlet. 'The whole atmosphere feels different.'

“I think there was absolutely no preparation because of the suddenness of it, so I'm still struggling with the fact that it happened and that he's really gone,” she added.

Previously, Treat and Pam met in 1987 when she was working as a waitress at the now-closed Texarkana restaurant in New York City.

“He was completely in love with me and asked me to marry him two weeks later,” she recalls. “It was a magical meeting, it should have been.”

The following year the couple married and moved to Vermont together.

They welcomed their son Gill in 1992 and their daughter Ellie in 1998.

Both of their children revealed that their father was the inspiration for them to become artists.

Ellie, now 26, is pursuing her own acting career in Los Angeles, while Gill, 31, has become a musician and is working on his debut album.

Gill admitted that it is strange and difficult to accept that his father is “actually gone.”

“But at the same time, he left behind this wonderful legacy,” he said.

“I think you're very lucky if your parents are an artist — especially if (the artist) is as prolific as he is, because in many ways through that art you can still be with them.”

Ellie shared this sentiment and also shared her experience of watching their father act and being inspired by his artistry.

“When I was four, I went to Everwood with my dad, and I fell in love with the craft,” she recalls. 'You create a wonderful close group of people, a family and wonderful friendships. It's a beautiful thing.'

“His family was what he always said (why he would be remembered),” she added.

“You are clearly his legacy,” their mother and Treat's wife told Gill and Ellie. “He was so proud of both of them.”

The late actor will posthumously star in FEUD: Capote Vs. The Swans, which premieres on January 31 on FX and streams on Hulu the next day.
