Bobby’s wife, Brigitte, confirmed his death in a heart-wrenching public statement, which fellow teen idol and friend John Stamos shared to his Instagram account.
“It is with the heaviest heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Bobby Sherman,” Brigitte’s statement read. “Bobby left this world holding my hand—just as he held up our life with love, courage, and unwavering grace through all 29 beautiful years of marriage. I was his Cinderella, and he was my Prince Charming. Even in his final days, he stayed strong for me.”
Leading up to his death, Bobby had been living with cancer, and Brigitte pointed out how “brave, gentle and full of light” the actor was until the end of his life.
“As he rested, I read him fan letters from all over the world—words of love and gratitude that lifted his spirits and reminded him of how deeply he was cherished,” Brigitte’s statement continued. “He soaked up every word with that familiar sparkle in his eye. And yes, he still found time to crack well-timed jokes—Bobby had a wonderful, wicked sense of humor. It never left him. He could light up a room with a look, a quip, or one of his classic, one-liners.”
Brigitte tied up her tribute to Bobby by adding that he “lived with integrity, gave without hesitation, and loved with his whole heart. And though our family feels his loss profoundly, we also feel the warmth of his legacy—his voice, his laughter, his music, his mission.”
