Jim Beaver is remembering his on-screen wife, Carrie Anne Fleming, one month after the Supernatural actress died at age 51.

Beaver, who played Fleming's husband on Supernatural, shared a post on Facebook earlier this month, calling Fleming his "soul mate" and "a powerhouse of vitality and goodwill and amazingly good nature, with a rapturous laugh and an utterly adorable personality that didn't seem to have an off switch."

"To find a soul mate once in life is something of a miracle. To find one twice is almost unimaginable," Beaver, 75, wrote. "To love and be loved is a pearl above price, but such pearls do come more than once or twice to the lucky. But to find oneself paired with someone who not only loves and is loved, but who seems by magic or the grace of the gods to understand you, to want what you are, to want you to be what you are, who GETS you and never feels the need to have you defend who you are, and about whom you feel the same -- how many of us can say that spark of divinity has alighted on us once, much less twice? I can."

Beaver went on to describe another loss — that of his "first and greatest love," the mother of his child, Cecily.

"Few who know me do not know about my first, my Cecily, my , the mother of my child, and how Cecily's young death came near to destroying me. Far fewer know that I found something akin to that again some years after Cecily's death," he continued.

Beaver wrote that, after Fleming was cast as his wife on Supernatural's fifth season, "I fell for her hard, and I did it mere seconds after meeting her."

"To my joy and shock, it seems the same thing happened to her. We 'met cute,' in Hollywood speak. As we sat on the set before our first scene, saying our hellos and breaking the ice as actors do when first paired up for a scene, she mentioned the name Madeline Rose," he wrote. "I was flummoxed, because that is my daughter's name, and there was no reason Carrie should know it. I said tentatively, 'Who's Madeline Rose?' She said, 'Oh, that's my daughter.' I said, 'Wait. That's MY daughter.' Turns out that, spelling differences aside, our daughters had the same name."

That moment, Beaver wrote, "was the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

"I was so in love I think my eyes turned silver," he added. "She seemed to think I was worth hanging around with, too."

The show was shot in Canada, where Carrie lived, and Beaver himself lives in Southern California, but the two worked to spend as much time together as they could: "The geographic and legal ramifications of those facts, particularly as pertains to child custody, kept us both physically and matrimonially apart, though we remedied the first when we could and, I'm sure, at some point we would have remedied the latter if it had been possible. "

"There were others, for both of us, but always there was the bond we had started with," he wrote. "Had certain laws and maps been different, I'm not sure I would have been able to love anyone else. She got me like only one other person really, truly ever has. Except for my love for her, I'm not sure if I would have been good for her. But she was terribly good for me."

Fleming's representative told PEOPLE in a statement that Fleming died in Canada on Feb. 26, following a breast cancer diagnosis.

"She died peacefully with her loved ones by her side," her representative said. "It was a great privilege to have known Carrie. She was a beautiful soul, inspiring, and above all, kind. She will be greatly missed."
