DOG The Bounty Hunter is known for his reality show, which was set in Colorado and Hawaii.
He split his time between the two, but as his late wife Beth’s health began to worsen, he had to consider where to live for her end-of-life care.
Duane “Dog” Chapman said they made the decision to “bring her home” to Hawaii, their adopted home state.
The couple lived in the east Honolulu suburb of Hawaii Kai.
She passed away in June of 2019.
Dog sadly confirmed her passing on Twitter, writing “it’s 5:32 in Hawaii, this is the time she would wake up to go hike Koko Head mountain.”
“Only today, she hiked the stairway to heaven. We all love you, Beth. See you on the other side.”
Beth was first diagnosed with stage two throat cancer in November 2017 and it later worsened to stage four.
Dog and Beth had been married since 2006 but had been dating on-and-off since meeting in 1986.
Beth was the bail bondsman’s fifth wife, after his previous marriages to La Fonda Sue Honeycutt, Anne Tengell, Lyssa Rae Brittain and Tawny Marie.
They married in Hawaii, and her memorial service was also held in Hawaii.
Beth had starred with her husband on the A&E reality series Dog the Bounty Hunter, which ran from 2004 to 2012.
Between them, the couple had two children together, Bonnie and Garry, but their family included another 10 children from previous marriages.
The show ended in 2012 after eight seasons and was replaced in 2013 by Dog and Beth: On The Hunt, a spin-off series starring both Duane and Beth.
