Dane, who starred in the long-running medical drama as Dr Mark Sloan, passed away last Friday (20 February), 10 months after he was diagnosed with the condition ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
“I always loved working with Eric,” Dempsey told Radio Times. “He had a great sense of humour. He was always very professional, always very well-prepared, handsome, intelligent, he was funny and warm.”
“I think he was a beloved character [on Grey’s Anatomy]. He was a wonderful man. He will be greatly missed and I feel deeply for his family, his children.”

Dempsey is one of several long-running cast members who was with Grey’s Anatomy since its inception in 2005, before he left the show back in 2015 in season 11.
“I meet so many people who come up to me who say they were inspired by the show that are now in the medical profession or going into medical school. That's a wonderful legacy to leave behind.”
The script initially made Dempsey feel “very uneasy” and self-reflective about his own mortality and memory, and the stage of life he’s in when losing friends and family.
“The type of disease, either cancer or Alzheimer's or other diseases, that hit home because when you're younger, it happens rarely. It might be an accident, a motorcycle accident or a car accident, OD, something – but now it's a disease, it's a cancer, something like that and you go, ‘How much time do I have left? And what am I going to do with that time? And how do I spend that time and make sure I don't waste it?’
