CNN anchor and political commentator Alisyn Camerota on Friday announced the death of her husband, Tim Lewis, after a two-year battle with pancreatic cancer.

Lewis, 58, died July 27, two months before the couple’s 23rd wedding anniversary.

Camerota, also 58, wrote in a gut-wrenching Instagram post that Lewis died “two years after being diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.”

“This month would have been our 23rd wedding anniversary,” she wrote next to a photo of their September 2001 wedding day.

“I feel incredibly lucky to have had such a deep, committed, loving partnership for the time we had.”

The couple share three kids, twin daughters Ale and Cessa, and son Nate.

“I cannot imagine any human being soldiering through a devastating diagnosis with more humor, humility and bravery than Tim. He was a phenomenal father, husband, friend and role model and the rest of us are left trying to follow in his footsteps,” Camerota wrote. 

Camerota said she and her children “are still getting our bearings. Tim imbued us with a lot of strength and stability and we’re determined to try to emulate those qualities.”

“Tim devoted much of his life to giving back to his community and trying to make life easier for the people around him,” said Camerota, the author of the recent memoir, “Combat Love: A Story of Leaving, Longing, and Searching for Home.”

“To that end, we’ve set up a fund in his memory to help other families enduring a similar struggle. I would be honored if you would consider a contribution,” she wrote of the Tim Lewis Foundation to Fight Cancer.

He worked in private equity and business consulting and during the course of his career worked at the The Keystone Group, followed by CRG Partners and Atlantic Street Capital. He then joined Southfield Capital, where he was a partner for nearly 10 years.
