It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning. While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace.

To the world, he was a martial artist, actor, and a symbol of strength. To us, he was a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, an incredible brother, and the heart of our family.

He lived his life with faith, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to the people he loved. Through his work, discipline, and kindness, he inspired millions around the world and left a lasting impact on so many lives.

While our hearts are broken, we are deeply grateful for the life he lived and for the unforgettable moments we were blessed to share with him. The love and support he received from fans around the world meant so much to him, and our family is truly thankful for it. To him, you were not just fans, you were his friends.

We know many of you had heard about his recent hospitalization, and we are truly grateful for the prayers and support you sent his way.

As we grieve this loss, we kindly ask for privacy for our family during this time.

Thank you for loving him with us.

With love,
The Norris Family

Never thought I'd see the day. RIP to him.

Don’t go look up the political turn he made last year. It’ll break your brain.
Better to just let the memes live on.

Goodbye, silly man. You made Bruce Lee cry when he kicked you.
Last year? Sadly he turned a long time ago (or at least showed who he was). I remember him losing a ton of support when he urged people to vote against Obama lest we see 1000 years of darkness.

What do you mean, "turn he made last year?" He was like that for almost a decade, arguably more like two.

RIP? Chuck Norris doesn't Rest. In peace, or otherwise.

Also, "While we would like to keep the circumstances private"? That's gotta be code for getting killed on some secret mission. Haven't these guy's seen the "Missing in Action" series? He's going to storm out of Iran in about fifteen years with a sack of heads over his shoulder...

You’ll have to forgive me for not following the statements and proclivities of former hollywood types too closely. Norris is one of the ones I simply stopped paying attention to outside of the memes.

Some research indicates it goes back to the early 80’s, or earlier. TIL. Anyway, he’s gone, and the memes are all that’s left.
