Late iconic actor’s son shares heartfelt message on dad’s 74th birthday: ‘Love you forever’
Zak Williams, the son of the late Robin Williams, took to social media Monday for what would have been the actor’s 74th birthday.
Zak Williams, 42, shared a photograph of his father in the 1987 movie “Good Morning Vietnam.”
“Today would have been my dad’s 74th birthday,” Zak Williams posted on Instagram.
“For me, grief isn’t linear. It loops and echoes. It softens, then crescendos. But alongside it lives a legacy, the kind built not from fame or recognition, but from generosity and relentless kindness.”
Robin Williams died by suicide in 2014.
Zak Williams wrote the actor “lived to make people feel seen. He gave permission to feel deeply and to laugh through the pain. In his absence, that mission continues.”
