Wilder previously shared a tribute and a photo of them in happier times, revealing how much he already misses Pavelek now that she is gone.
“She was bold, funny, driven, beautiful, and my friend of many years,” he recalled. “She was in pain a long, long time. We shared a million sets and as many adventures. She died as she lived, resolute to the very end. She now gets to be free of the pain and the suffering of this life. I miss her infinitely.”
