Zachary Levi is sharing heartbreaking news.
The 42-year-old Shazam star has revealed that his father Darrell Pugh has passed away. He confirmed the sad update on his social media on Sunday (January 29).
He wrote a note and posted it on Instagram:
”Papa D – Many of you have been asking for an update on my dad, Darrell. Though he fought valiantly until the end, my pop passed away peacefully a few days ago, surrounded by friends and family.
Watching anyone slowly die of cancer is one of the worst experiences I can attest to. But knowing that he’s no longer trapped in his decaying body, and now singing karaoke in heaven, gives me so much peace and joy.
And, knowing how many of you were continuously sending him love, and thoughts, and prayers gives me even more faith in humanity. Know that he felt and appreciated it all, as did our whole family. Thank you for your overwhelming kindness thru such a difficult time. Sending you all endless love and light right back.”
Zachary captioned his note with:
“Hug those you love. Hug ‘em tight. Talk about everything you need to talk about. Say all the things. And when the time comes, release them to journey back to where it all began. Back to paradise. A place we’ll all be so lucky to return to some day. ❤️🙏.”
Sending our thoughts and condolences to Zachary and his family during this difficult time.
