Lisa Askey Faison, the ex-wife of former “Scrubs” actor Donald Faison, passed away Wednesday because of unknown circumstances.

Donald took to social media to share the sad news and honor the late Lisa, with whom he shares three children, twins Dade and Kaya, 18, and son Kobe, 16.

Lisa Askey Faison, the ex-wife to former “Scrubs” actor Donald Faison, passed away Wednesday due to unknown circumstances.

“My son Dade is very brave. Today he and his brother Kobe and sister Kaya lost their mother. Lisa Askey Faison,” the 42-year-old “Clueless” actor wrote to Instagram.

“She and I never really saw eye to eye but one thing we did share was our love for our children,” he added.

The pair first met during Lisa’s time in nursing school. They wed in 2001 and later split in 2005.

“RIP Lisa. You raised three beautiful children into fine adults and I am forever grateful for that. May god bless your soul with light and love.”

Dade also shared a sweet message on his mother’s passing in a post writing:

“I just wanted to say thank you so much mom! You have been there for me when I needed you most. I can’t believe it has come to this but I know you are in a better place right now. I love you with all my heart and one day we shall meet again?? You worked so hard and never gave up no matter how hard times got. R.I.P mom and until next time!?? #RestInPeace #BestMom #Love.”
