Luke Perry's son mourns his father's loss in touching post
Jack Perry, the son of late actor Luke Perry, shared a touching post about his father on Wednesday.
Luke Perry, known for his roles in "Riverdale" and "90210," died on Monday at the age of 52 after a massive stroke in Los Angeles, California.
In an Instagram post featuring photos of his father, the 21-year-old professional wrestler described his father's impact in his life. "He was a lot of things to a lot of people. To me, he was always Dad," he wrote.
"He loved supported me in everything, and inspired me to be the best that I could possibly be," he continued. "I’ve learned so much from you, and my heart is broken thinking about everything you won’t be here for. I’ll miss you every day that I walk this earth."
"I’ll do whatever I can to carry on your legacy and make you proud," he added. "I love you Dad."
Perry also pulled out of an upcoming wrestling match he was scheduled to compete in, in the wake of his father's tragic passing.
"Unfortunately Jungle Boy will no longer be wrestling at our March 13th show. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family at this time," Bar Wrestling tweeted, using Perry's wrestling name.
Perry's 18-year-old daughter, Sophie Perry, also spoke out about the tragedy a day after her father's death.
"A lot has happened in this past week for me," Sophie Perry wrote in an Instagram post. "Everything is happening so fast."
"I made it back from Malawi just in time to be here with my family, And in the past 24 hours I have received an overwhelming amount of love and support," she added. "I cannot individually respond to the hundreds of beautiful and heartfelt messages, but I see them, and appreciate you all for sending positivity to my family and I."
"I’m not really sure what to say or do in this situation, it’s something you aren’t ever given a lesson on how to handle, especially when it’s all happening in the public eye," she continued. "So bare with me and know that I am grateful for all the love. Just, being grateful quietly."
