Colton Haynes’s Mother Passed Away & My Heart Aches For Him

Arrow star, Colton Haynes, took to Instagram on March 23, to share the news of his mom, Dana Haynes’s, passing earlier in the day. The post included old photographs of his mother, along with heartfelt photos of the two together.

Colton previously spoke out about his mother’s declining health on Instagram, revealing that she had been experiencing advanced cirrhosis of the liver and kidney failure.

“My mom has been in and out of the hospital since January. After multiple tests we found out she actually has advanced cirrhosis of the liver & kidney failure. A diagnosis that can be cured with a liver transplant.. however..that bad news I mentioned before was that she doesn’t have that much time to wait for a new liver,” he stated in the post. “The doctors suggested that we now focus on my mother’s quality of life rather than quantity of life. It’s heartbreaking.”

With so many loving memories of his dear mama, it’s clear that Colton and his family are heartbroken, and there’s no doubt she will be missed for years to come.

Our hearts go out to the Haynes family. May she rest in eternal peace.
