Randall, a model-turned-photographer and Bullock’s longtime partner, died on Aug. 5 at age 57 “peacefully after a three-year battle with ALS,” his family said at the time.

“Bryan chose early to keep his journey with ALS private and those of us who cared for him did our best to honor his request,” his loved ones added in a statement to PEOPLE.

“We are immensely grateful to the tireless doctors who navigated the landscape of this illness with us and to the astounding nurses who became our roommates, often sacrificing their own families to be with ours,” they said. “At this time we ask for privacy to grieve and to come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan.”

Randall’s family requested that any donations be made to the ALS Association and the Massachusetts General Hospital.

Bullock, whose last starring role was in 2022’s The Lost City (she also had a cameo in Bullet Train the same year), is mom to son Louis and daughter Laila.

She told CBS News in March 2022 she would be taking a break from acting to spend time with family.

“Right now, work in front of the camera needs to take a pause,” Bullock said at the time. She added, “I want to be at home. I’m not doing anyone any favors who’s investing in a project if I’m saying, ‘I just want to be at home.’ ‘Cause I was always running, I was always running to the next thing. I just want to be present, and responsible for one thing.”

On Instagram Aug. 7, Bullock’s sister Gesine Bullock-Prado paid tribute to Randall and praised Bullock’s caretaking in his final years.

“ALS is a cruel disease but there is some comfort in knowing he had the best of caretakers in my amazing sister and the band of nurses she assembled who helped her look after him in their home,” she wrote.
