Randall breathed his last at the age of 57
UNITED STATES (Web Desk) - Sandra Bullock longtime partner Bryan Randall has passed away after battling with rare neurological disease. After a long battle of three long years with ALS, Randall breathed his last at the age of 57.
The family statement said that he died over the weekend after a three year illness battle.
"It is with great sadness that we share that on Aug. 5, Bryan Randall passed away peacefully after a three-year battle with ALS," the family shared an emotional statement.
"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."
"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.
"At this time we ask for privacy to grieve and to come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan," the statement concluded, before it was signed, "His Loving Family."
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare neurological disease that affects motor neurons—those nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement.
Voluntary muscles are those we choose to move to produce movements like chewing, walking, and talking.
Bullock and Randall met in 2015 when the model and photographer was hired to shoot her son Louis's birthday.
