The son of the late Robin Williams<\/strong><\/a>, Zak Williams<\/strong>, has marked what would have been his father\u2019s 73rd birthday.<\/p>\n

In a touching post shared via X<\/a> on Sunday, July 21, Zak, 41, wrote, \u201cDad, on what would be your 73rd birthday, I remember you for all the hope and joy you brought to the world.\u201d Robin died in August 2014 at the age of 63.<\/p>\n

Zak\u2019s post continued: \u201cThere\u2019s not a week that goes by without someone sharing with me how you helped them through a dark time or a rough patch. I\u2019m so grateful to be your son. Love you forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

The post was accompanied by a black and white throwback photo of Robin smiling at the camera while sitting on the ground against a couch.<\/p>\n
