The morning of her passing at the age of 45, Annie Wersching's husband, Stephen Full, gave a moving tribute, thanking her for giving him and their three boys under 12 the tools to carry on.
Like his late wife, Annie Wersching, Stephen Full works in the entertainment industry as a TV actor. He is best known for his voice work on a Disney Channel sitcom.
During his wife's battle with cancer between 2020 and 2023, he only appeared in one film. The private actress kept the news of her diagnosis quiet to protect her sons.

Some Fans Might Be More Familiar with Annie Wersching Husband's Voice Than His Face
The dad of three is best known for voicing Stan the Dog in Disney's original series "Dog with a Blog," for which he was nominated for a 2014 Primetime Emmy. The family comedy starring Genevieve Hannelius and Blake Michael ran for three seasons from 2012 and 2013.
Full's contribution to the show did not end with him recording alone in the sound booth. While shooting the pilot, the creators of the show realized that having the voice actor rehearse with the rest of the cast helped them to "hear the show" and watch the relationships form.
He had guest roles on a few other live-action Disney shows, including Miley Cyrus' "Hanna Montana" and "iCarley." In "I'm in the Band," he portrays a washed-up rock star, Ash, who gets a second chance at success when a teenage fan joins the group.

The Boston-born actor played Janko in Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant's Netflix zombie comedy, "Santa Clarita Diet." As a guest star, he acted in Hawaii Five-0, Rizzoli & Isles, Castle, and NCIS with Sean Murray and Mark Harmon.
In her social media announcement of her third child, the TV star joked about being outnumbered.
He appeared in one episode of "Bosch," in which Wersching had a recurring role, but the married pair did not share an episode. The actor did a cameo of himself on the Halloween episode of "The Real O'Neals" in 2016.

Stephen Full Paid a Touching Tribute to His Late Wife
Wersching and Full got married on September 6, 2009. In the Summer of 2020, the "Timeless" actress was diagnosed with cancer, which took her on January 29, 2023. Her husband of fourteen years paid her a beautiful and hopeful homage:
“There is a cavernous hole in the soul of this family today. But she left us the tools to fill it. She found wonder in the simplest moment. She didn’t require music to dance. She taught us not to wait for adventure to find you. ‘Go find it. It’s everywhere.’ And find it we shall.”
The "Dog with a Blog" voice actor remembered how the "Star Trek: Picard" actress would yell goodbye and say she loved them until they were out of earshot driving off.

Stephen Full Was Left Alone with Three Children
Wersching and Full had three children together, Freddie Wersching Full, born August 8, 2010; Ozzie Wersching Full, August 4, 2013; and Archie Wersching Full, November 25, 2018. Her husband said their children were the "true loves of her life."
While pregnant with Archie, the actress allowed the children to draw a jack-o-lantern on her belly at their pumpkin carving party. In her social media announcement of her third child, the TV star joked about being outnumbered as the only woman in the household.

Ever Carradine, Wersching's co-star on "Runaways," organized a GoFundMe to support Stephen and the children. Carradine said that however much her friends and fans loved the star, "She loved her boys more."
Carradine hopes to raise $250,000, which would go towards medical bills, starting a college fund, and giving Stephen space to grieve without the pressure of lining up a new gig. Eighteen hours into the campaign, $140,604 was pledged, more than half the goal.
