Robin Williams’ Son Zak Honors Him on 6-Year Anniversary of Actor’s Death: ‘Love You So Much’

On the sixth anniversary of Robin Williams’s death, his eldest son Zak paid tribute to him on social media. 

Yesterday, Zak posted a heartfelt message: “Dad, today marks six years since your passing,” he wrote alongside a black-and-white photo of Robin. “Your legacy lives on in your family and in those who carry your spirit within their hearts.”

“We will continue to fight for what’s good in the world, for peace, and for connecting people instead of tearing them apart,” he added. “Love you so much!”

Of course, Robin died by suicide on August 11, 2014, after suffering from Lewy Body Dementia, a type of brain disease that affected his thinking, memory, and movement control.

Zak is also on the Advisory Board of the mental health program, Inseparable. In an interview with People magazine, he said that his 1-year-old son McLaurin Clement has been getting slowly introduced to his grandfather’s legacy.

“His mom [Olivia June] and I have certainly considered how we want to introduce my son’s grandfather, my dad, into his life,” Zak told the outlet. “Certainly through his movies and the cartoons that he participated in is a great way. My son, Mickey, points at a cel that we have in his room of my dad that has the genie from Aladdin.”

He added, “We hope that we can celebrate the positive elements and his works and films in a way that there can be appreciation and acknowledgment of him both as an entertainer, but also as a family man, and parent and grandfather to my son.”

What a legacy Robin left all of us!
