Brooke Hogan just shared a deeply emotional tribute to her father, Hulk Hogan, as fans around the world continue to mourn the wrestling icon following his sudden passing.

While funeral services were held today in Clearwater, Florida, Brooke chose to honor her father in the most personal way possible — by taking her children to his favorite place: the beach. Posting to Instagram Stories, Brooke included a heartfelt message alongside a touching black-and-white photo of her and her dad during her childhood.

“Taking our babies to your favorite place today, the beach.”

She continued with a tribute that spoke directly to Hogan’s memory, promising to honor him through shared memories in the place he loved most.

“We will be celebrating your life and all our good memories while we have our feet in the same saltwater you loved. Until we meet again, daddy.”

The post comes as fans are still processing the shocking medical examiner’s report released after his death. While the world knew Hogan as an indestructible force in the wrestling ring, it was revealed he had been privately battling chronic lymphocytic leukemia — a slow-growing form of blood cancer that had never been publicly disclosed.

According to the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center, the official cause of death was acute myocardial infarction — a heart attack. Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, passed away at 71 after suffering cardiac arrest at his Clearwater home. The report also confirmed he had atrial fibrillation, a condition that affects the heart’s rhythm.

Brooke Hogan’s emotional tribute is a gut punch for anyone who grew up watching the Hulkster — not just as a wrestling legend, but as an unshakable symbol of strength. In the wake of his passing, her decision to bring her children to his favorite place isn’t just sentimental — it’s a reminder that even the biggest icons leave behind very real pain.
