Zak, the son of Robin Williams, pays tribute to his late father ten years after his death, and it’s heartbreaking.
It’s hard to grasp that a decade has passed since the world lost Robin Williams. His departure left an undeniable void, not just in the realm of entertainment but in the hearts of those who loved him. While fans continue to cherish his memory, his family feels the deepest ache from his absence every single day.

Zak, Robin’s first-born son, has been navigating the journey of grief since losing his father. On August 10th, the anniversary of Robin’s passing, Zak shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram. His words revealed a deep connection and love that transcends even the loss of a parent.
He began by saying, “Dad, it’s hard to believe it’s been ten years.” Zak reflected on the immense love his father shared, not just with his family, but with everyone he met. “You continue to inspire me every single day to do whatever I can to help create a more connected and loving world for our family. Love you forever. ”
Zak’s words highlight what it’s like to live life without a parent. He also illuminates the legacy that goes beyond Robin’s fame and success. It’s a legacy built on love, kindness, and the desire to make the world a better place through laughter. For Zak, these ten years have likely been a journey of remembering, honoring, and finding ways to keep his father’s spirit alive.
The bond between a parent and child is a profound one, and even though Zak spent thirty years with his father, the loss still feels immense. Any child who has lost a loved one will tell you that no matter how many years they had, whether it's 10, 30, or more, it’s never enough. Yet, the love between them remains strong, a reflection of the impact Robin had not only as an entertainer but also as a father.

As we reflect on Zak’s tribute, it reminds us to hold on tightly to the love we’ve experienced from those we’ve lost. That love doesn’t fade, even when they’re no longer with us as we hold onto the truth, we will one day be reunited in heaven. Robin’s legacy continues through his children, the memories they carry, and the inspiration they draw from his life.
Robin would have turned 73 this past July. Though he left us too soon, his light hasn’t dimmed. It continues to shine brightly through the lives of his children and in the hearts of those who remember him.
Zak’s words are a gentle reminder for us all. To cherish those we love, honor their memory, and strive to make the world a more loving and connected place—just as Robin did. And in Zak’s touching final words, we feel the enduring bond between father and son: “Love you forever, Dad.”
