DUKES OF HAZZARD star John Schneider confirmed that his wife, Alicia Allain, has died at 53 years old.
Schneider released a statement about his wife’s passing via Instagram on February 22, writing, “My beautiful Smile is pain free, living in her new body alongside Jesus.”
He continued, “Please respect our privacy during this time of grief. Please do not ask any questions. If you have any pictures of us and our obvious love and adoration for each other, please post them below.”
“Lastly… hug those you love tight and let them know how you feel. We always did,” the actor concluded.
Schneider and Allain wed in 2019.
The actor didn’t reveal Allain’s cause of death, but both he and his wife had been very open about her battle with cancer.
In 2020, the couple shared that Allain had been diagnosed with stage 4 HER2-negative cancer.
In addition to Schneider, Allain is survived by her daughter, granddaughter and other family members.
A portion of her obituary reads, “From Brusly to Hollywood and back, Alicia was a force that inspired others, she was kind and generous to all she met. She always put herself last. She was very protective of her parents. She was mama bear that protected all her cubs. She was a fighter until the end. Alicia will be missed mighty.”
Please keep Schneider and his family in your prayers at this time.
