In an eight minute Instagram video, The Rock thanked fans for their love, support and condolences sent to his family since the passing of his dad.
“As you know, I lost my old man a few days ago — I lost him just like that. Didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to him.” he shared, “I would give anything right now to give him a big old hug and a big old kiss, before he crossed over, and just say thank you and I love you, and I respect you. But I didn’t get a chance to say that. But such is life, as many of you know.”
The Rock shared that his father passed away from a heart attack caused by deep-vein thrombosis. He stated that he was told by the medical examiner this father’s death was quick.
He talked some about his special bond with his father and ended the video with advice to everybody. His advice was to go to family and loved ones and “Hug ’em, Hug ’em hard” because you don’t know what tomorrow holds.
