Beloved Hallmark star Brennan Elliott recently shared a deeply emotional tribute to his wife, Camilla Row, who lost her battle with gastric cancer on March 22, 2025. He expressed gratitude to fans and friends who supported them during her eight-year struggle with the disease.
In a heartfelt social media post, Elliott wrote, “It is with a soul-crushing heart that my beloved wife passed away at 5:28 this morning.” He included a vibrant picture of Row by the ocean, reflecting her spirit. He thanked everyone worldwide for their prayers as she fought stage 4 gastric cancer.
Elliott and Row, married since September 2011, were the proud parents of two children, Liam, 12, and Luna, 10. He described Row as “the toughest and strongest person” he had ever met, a loving mother, and his soulmate. “The pain she endured only I may know,” he shared, assuring fans that she was now at peace.
Row was not only a dedicated mother and wife but also a passionate advocate for gastric cancer awareness. Before her passing, she started a new cancer treatment trial, hoping for a miraculous outcome. In January 2025, she expressed optimism about her new treatment, referring to it as her "Hail Mary." She had previously fought the disease and had been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2022.
Her journey highlighted important issues surrounding gastric cancer, including challenges in diagnosis. Even medical professionals recognize that stomach cancer can often go unnoticed. Dr. Yanghee Woo, an oncologist at City of Hope, explained that symptoms like heartburn can lead to delays in diagnosis.
Row bravely used her platform to raise awareness, sharing her story and pushing for more research in gastric cancer treatment. In September 2024, she even traveled to Washington, D.C., advocating for legislative support to improve prevention and early detection of stomach cancer. Her efforts reflected a commitment to helping others who faced similar struggles.
The support from her family and the community showed how deeply she touched lives. Elliott’s tribute conveys an enduring love and a commitment to carrying on her legacy.
