Jack Osbourne reminisces about the cherished moments he shared with his late father, Ozzy Osbourne.
On Wednesday, the 39-year-old paid homage to the iconic Black Sabbath frontman, who passed away on July 22.
“I haven’t really wanted to post anything since the passing of my father. My heart has hurt too much,” Jack captioned the video on Instagram, showcasing candid photos and unseen footage of Ozzy with his family over the years. “I’m gonna keep this short because he certainly hated long rambling speeches.”
Jack expressed, “He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be a part of a very small group that got to call him ‘Dad.’ My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude.” He added, “I got 14,501 days with that man and I know that is such a blessing. I think this quote best describes my father.”
Jack then shared a quote by Hunter S. Thompson emphasizing living life to the fullest.
The montage features precious moments of the Osbournes, including Ozzy with his grandchildren.
The death certificate revealed that the singer passed away from cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and Parkinson’s disease.
Representatives for Osbourne did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The family announced his passing on July 22.
Ozzy Osbourne is survived by his wife Sharon, daughters Kelly and Aimee, son Jack, and children from his first marriage.
Last week, a procession honored the rock star in Birmingham, England.
Osbourne desired to be buried near a lake on his property.
During a private memorial, a floral tribute spelled out ‘OZZY F—ING OSBOURNE’ on the banks of the lake.
Guests at the memorial included Zakk Wylde, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, James Hetfield, and Elton John.
In a 2011 column, Osbourne shared his hopes for a celebratory funeral.
“I’d also like some pranks: maybe the sound of knocking inside the coffin; or a video of me asking my doctor for a second opinion on his diagnosis of ‘death,’” he wrote.
“That’s why I don’t want my funeral to be sad. I want it to be a time to say ‘thanks.’”
