Sandra Bullock honored her late partner Bryan Randall’s final wish to have his ashes spread in a Wyoming river.
On Saturday, on what would have been his 58th birthday, the actress released his remains in Jackson Hole’s Snake River.
“Happy birthday, Bry. Sandy brought you to the river, just as she promised,” Bullock’s sister, Gesine Bullock-Prado — who previously called her an “amazing” caretaker — captioned a short Instagram video of the peaceful scene.
The clip showed snow-covered trees and bare foliage along the water, which was illuminated by the rays of the rising sun.
Randall died in August 2023 following a three-year battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement.
A cure for ALS — also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease — has yet to be found, and there is no effective treatment to reverse its progression.
The model-turned-photographer — who dated Bullock, 59, for eight years and helped her raise her two children — died “peacefully,” according to his family.
“Bryan chose early to keep his journey with ALS private, and those of us who cared for him did our best to honor his request,” his loved ones told Pvnew at the time.
“We are immensely grateful to the tireless doctors who navigated the landscape of this illness with us and to the astounding nurses who became our roommates, often sacrificing their own families to be with ours,” they added, going on to ask for “privacy to grieve and to come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan.”
Though Bullock has yet to address the passing of “the love of [her] life,” a source previously shared that she was “so grateful” for the outpouring of support and donations in his honor.
“It was very important to her that when she and his family made the initial statement of Bryan’s passing, those who were on this journey with her and Bryan, from the beginning, were recognized — with the Healey Center at Mass General leading the way,” the insider said a few weeks after Randall’s death.
The informant made sure to note that Bullock was “happy that out of something so heartbreaking came something so positive for others.”
