It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning. While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace.
To the world, he was a martial artist, actor, and a symbol of strength. To us, he was a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, an incredible brother, and the heart of our family.
He lived his life with faith, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to the people he loved. Through his work, discipline, and kindness, he inspired millions around the world and left a lasting impact on so many lives.
While our hearts are broken, we are deeply grateful for the life he lived and for the unforgettable moments we were blessed to share with him. The love and support he received from fans around the world meant so much to him, and our family is truly thankful for it. To him, you were not just fans, you were his friends.
We know many of you had heard about his recent hospitalization, and we are truly grateful for the prayers and support you sent his way.
As we grieve this loss, we kindly ask for privacy for our family during this time.
Thank you for loving him with us.
With love,
The Norris Family

I usually talk about pool and trying hardβ¦ but today itβs something way bigger. My wife is facing three brain surgeries.
I promised I'd start opening up more on here; so here you go. We thought we were in the clear. Her headaches, dizziness, nausea, were all down (back to normal or atleast lowered), but it we couldn't have been more wrong.
MRI showed something bad enough to where we needed to go into the ER immediately. She'll need 3 brain surgeries at the end of the week for us to get our lives back. Plus 2-4weeks of healing.
Luckily she can stay at home with close monitoring by myself until the surgery.
