Robin Williams\u2019 son said he will love the tragic comic \u2018forever\u2019 on what would have been his 72nd birthday<\/p>\n
Zak Williams, 40, paid tribute to his late dad \u2013 who died by suicide aged 63 on 11 August 2014 \u2013 by posting a still on his Instagram on Friday (21.07.23) of Robin starring in 1987 film \u2018Good Morning Vietnam\u2019. <\/p>\n
He captioned the image: \u201cHappy 72nd Dad! Was remembering how much I used to love that look you\u2019d give. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat look with a mischievous, loving grin that your friends and loved ones knew so well. Joyous and curious and wondrous. <\/p>\n
\u201cMiss you and love you forever!\u201d<\/p>\n
\nZak is the only child from Robin\u2019s marriage to actress Valerie Velardi, 70, which ended in 1988, and he has two half-siblings from the comedian\u2019s second marriage, to US film producer Marsha Garces, 67. <\/p>\n
\nRobin\u2019s only daughter, Zelda, 33, also took to social media to commemorate her dad on Friday. <\/p>\n
\nReferencing the current SAG-AFTRA strike that has brought Hollywood to a standstill, she said: \u201cHappy birthday to Poppo, who definitely would\u2019ve been out there fighting the good fight for art and artists today and always.\u201d <\/p>\n
\nZak has often remembered his late father since the beloved movie star passed away, and last year shared a photo on Instagram of Robin wearing biking gear, which he captioned: \u201cI\u2019ll be remembering you today as you would want to be remembered, in spandex. Miss you and love you always!\u201d <\/p>\n
\nAnd in 2021, Zak posted a black-and-white photo of his dad on Instagram, writing alongside the snap: \u201cDad, on what would be your 70th birthday, I would want you to know that your incredible spirit lives within us. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cOur family will be celebrating you and your memory today. We miss you and love you always!\u201d <\/p>\n
\nRobin had Zelda and her brother Cody, who does not appear to have social media, with second wife Marsha, who were married from 1989 to 2010. <\/p>\n
\nRobin, who took his life after years battling depression and mental health issues after he had been misdiagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s disease, married his third wife Susan Schneider in 2011. <\/p>\n
\nThe actor\u2019s autopsy revealed instead of Parkinson\u2019s he was actually suffering from Lewy body dementia, which can cause behavioural changes including hallucinations, delusions and mood changes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
