Daughter of D’Angelo Pays Tribute in Social Media Post
In an October 16 social media post, she called her father’s passing an “immeasurable loss.”
“Dear Daddy. There are no words to describe this immeasurable loss. I’m in absolute disbelief and shock. You were my biggest hype man, my protector, my biggest musical inspiration, the kindest and most selfless man, and the best father anyone could’ve ever had,” she started the October 16 Instagram post. “No one will EVER measure up to how brave and strong you are. Till the very end, you made sure to protect me from anything that would scare or hurt me. I love you so much, Daddy. I wish I had more time to spend with you.”
She also added:
“I’m not sure how I’ll be able to live on without you, but I’ll never forget all of your advice and things you’ve told me on how to get through this life. Dad…I miss you more than life, and this is breaking my heart into a million pieces. I wish I could hold your hand just one more time. I will forever honor you and carry on your legacy, Dad. Everything I do will always be for you. I’m gonna miss you and hearing your voice every single day. I’ll always be your BabyGirl.”
In a statement following his passing, the singer’s family revealed that he had silently been fighting a battle with cancer.
“The shining star of our family has dimmed his light for us in this life…After a prolonged and courageous battle with cancer, ” they said in a statement.
May D’Angelo Rest in Peace.
