Luke Perry‘s son Jack is speaking out for the first time since his father’s passing.

Just like his sister Sophia and the rest of Hollywood, we are all still in shock and deeply saddened by the seasoned actor’s unexpected passing.

The thespian’s 21-year-old son posted two sweet throwback photos with on Instagram with an emotional caption about his late father (below):

“He was a lot of things to a lot of people. To me, he was always Dad. He loved supported me in everything, and inspired me to be the best that I could possibly be. 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. I love you Dad.” 

Our heart truly goes out to you, Jack! Luke sounds like he was the perfect, supporting dad we’d expect him to be.

In the wake of the sad news, the Bar Wrestling athlete who wrestles professionally under the stage name “Jungle Boy” recently decided to pulled out of an upcoming show on March 13.

It’s totally understandable and expected that he would need some private time to grieve.

The wrestling organization shared the news and offered their condolences to the 21-year-old fighter in an official statement via Twitter (below):

“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.”
