“It is with the heaviest heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Bobby Sherman… Even in his final days, he stayed strong for me. That’s who Bobby was—brave, gentle, and full of light… As he rested, I read him fan letters from all over the world—words of love and gratitude… He soaked up every word with that familiar sparkle in his eye. And yes, he still found time to crack well-timed jokes… He saved lives. He showed us what real heroism looks like—quiet, selfless, and deeply human… 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. Rest gently, my love.”
