John Schneider is paying tribute to Alicia Allain, his late wife, who passed away last week at the age of 53.
The Dukes of Hazzard actress said on Facebook on Thursday, “My lovely Smile is living in her new body alongside Jesus, pain free. Please appreciate our need for privacy during this difficult time.
In addition to a picture of Allain, Schneider, 62, also uploaded a picture of him holding her hand with their wedding rings on show. He urged his friends and followers to post pictures of the couple displaying their “obvious love and adoration for each other” in his message.
The movies Auto Focus, Leather Jackets, and Caged Fear all included Allain as a producer, actress, and hairstylist. In 2019, she and Schneider got hitched.
The pair talked about Allain’s battle with stage 4 breast cancer on Fox & Friends in January 2020, albeit Schneider didn’t give a cause of death. When she was identified, “she was three years into a five-year shelf life,” Schneider said.
Allain revealed to the hosts that she looked into several ways to manage discomfort. She remarked, “I kind of went into a speed course of reading what path I was going to pursue. “I made the decision to use CBD oil, the ketogenic diet, and grounding with minerals. I really settled into a really strict routine.”
After that, the two started selling CBoD Oil, which was called after Bo Duke, a character played by Schneider in Dukes of Hazzard.
Schneider married Allain for the third time; his first two wives were Tawny Little from 1983 to 1986 and Elly Castle from 1993 to 2019. Patrick Dollard and Allain were previously wed from 1994 to 1999.
Allain was characterized in her obituary as “She was hailed as “a force that inspired others” and as “kind and generous to everyone she met. She never prioritized herself.”
Tom Wopat, Schneider’s co-star from Dukes of Hazzard, published his own eulogy on Facebook on Wednesday “Together with the rest of the Duke’s country, I am sending him my thoughts and prayers. He will miss Alicia because she was a driving force in his life and profession.”
Schneider asked for help at the end of his message: “Give your loved ones a warm hug and express your feelings. We’ve always done.”
