Coley Laffoon is remembering his late ex-wife, Anne Heche, who died in August on the age of 53 following a horrific automotive crash.
In an Instagram post on Thursday, Laffoon shared a sweet tribute to Heche in honor of their son Homer’s twenty first birthday.
Within the post, he thanked the late “Donnie Brasco” actress for “trusting him” with their child.
“Inconceivable not to shut my eyes and consider @anneheche zooming across the cosmos, swinging by Northern California, smiling her knowing and still vulnerable smile as she races past,” Laffoon, 49, wrote within the caption, accompanied by a carousel of photos of pop and son.
His message continued, “He’s good Anne. Thanks for trusting him to me. It’s going to maintain being great. I promise.”
Laffoon and Heche were married from 2001 to 2009, after meeting when he filmed a documentary about her then-partner Ellen DeGeneres in 2000. Heche gave birth to Homer in 2002.
She shares one other son, Atlas, 13, along with her “Men in Trees” co-star, James Tupper, whom she dated from 2007 to 2018.
In August, Heche suffered second-degree burns on 12% of her body when she bizarrely plowed her automotive into an LA home. She was trapped for about half-hour, dying of “inhalation and thermal injuries” in addition to a fracture of her sternum, in line with an autopsy report released in December.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office noted the troubled actress wasn’t high on drugs throughout the crash.
Shortly after her death, Laffoon took to Instagram to thank the general public for his or her support and supply an update on Homer.
“Within the wake of Anne’s passing, I just desired to say a couple of things,” he began. “One, I loved her and I miss her and I’m at all times going to. Two, Homer is OK. He’s grieving, in fact, and it’s rough.”
He continued, “It’s really rough, as probably anybody can imagine, but he’s surrounded by family and he’s strong and he’s going to be OK.”
In November, Homer was given control over his late mother’s estate after a bitter battle with Tupper.
In January, Homer announced that his mom had finished a memoir, “Call Me Anne,” before her death.
The book is a follow-up to “Call Me Crazy,” which was published in 2001.
