A GoFundMe page has been set up to offer financial support for McPhee and Ransone’s two children, Violet and Jack. McPhee shared messages about the page on her Instagram Stories, indicating she is aware of it and supports it; however, the organizer is listed on the page as Camille Garmendia. 

Ransone passed away on Friday, December 19, and his cause of death was suicide, New York Post reports. He was 46. His family and those who loved him are understandably heartbroken, and tributes have been pouring in on social media. Fans have also been showing their support by donating to the family’s GoFundMe page. It had an initial goal of $120,000 and, at the time of publishing, has received over $118,000. The fund is well on its way to being fulfilled!

The fund features photos of Ransone with his family, and he is described as a “beloved husband, father, and friend.” The pictures highlight their beautiful bond.

The information reads, “James, who his friends called PJ, was funny, magnetic, brilliant, and endlessly alive. Above all else, he was an extraordinary father. His wife, Jamie, known by her friends as Skipper, and their children, Jack and Violet, were the center of his world. They loved him infinitely, and he loved them just as fiercely in return. Their bond was deep, joyful, and unmistakable to anyone who witnessed it.”

The message also reveals why the fund was created: to help McPhee and their children “navigate life after an unimaginable loss.” The message continues, “Its purpose is simple: to give Jamie the space to focus fully on Jack and Violet, to care for them, protect their sense of security, and ensure they have a bright future—even without James’s light present in their everyday lives.” 

Fans have shown their love and support with contributions both big and small, and loving messages shared. Over 601 people have contributed. 

Ransone was a brilliant actor and a complicated person who overcame many challenges throughout his life, including abuse and addiction. He was open and honest with his fans, sharing insights into his life and how his mind worked. He also leaves behind an impressive portfolio of work, with memorable performances in  “The Wire,” “Generation Kill,” and “It Chapter Two.”
