The Kardashian sisters have paid tribute to their late father, Robert Kardashian Sr., on the 20th anniversary of his death. Robert was a defence attorney and father of four, as well as one of OJ Simpson's lawyers. He passed away from oesophageal cancer on September 30, 2003, aged 59.
Kourtney, the eldest Kardashian, shared a sweet photo of her late father smiling and waving at the camera. Alongside the post, she wrote: "I miss you, Daddy. 20 years ago today since I haven't seen you," followed by a dove emoji.
Meanwhile, Khloé shared a video from the gym as she enjoyed a workout. The reality star felt her father's presence as she saw orbs around her, and later wrote in an Instagram Story, "The orbs are my daddy. I miss you." Youngest Rob also took a moment to remember his father on what would have been his 79th birthday, posting a black and white photo of his dad and mother Kris Jenner.
Kim also marked the occasion with a series of sentimental photos of her with her dad. She wrote: "It's almost getting to the point where I've had to remember you longer than I've known you. It's been 20 years since we've celebrated your birthday here on earth. But I will take it because I had the best dad in the whole wide world and am so lucky I had 22 years with you!"
The Kardashian family have continued to talk openly about their father and keep his memory alive over the years. Back in 2010, Kourtney, Kim, and Khloé dedicated a sweet message to him in their book, Kardashian Konfidential. They wrote: "Dad, without you, we know we would not be the women we are today. We know that every blessing in our lives is because you are our angel watching over us. We know your spirit has guided us through every challenge, highlight and memory we had. We miss you more than we did yesterday and less than we will tomorrow."
Kourtney also admitted that her father's death made her not want to get married. However, when her now-husband, Blink-182 drummer Travis Scott, asked for her hand in marriage, momager Kris gifted Kourtney with a ring once given to her by Robert. This made Kourtney tearful and she said, "When my dad died, I remember thinking that I never want to get married because my dad isn't there to walk me down the aisle. That gift meant so much."
In a very sweet gesture, Travis also visited Robert's grave to seek approval to marry his daughter. The famous family has continued to honour Robert by working with cancer survivors and in 2019 marked the opening of UCLA's Robert G. Kardashian Centre for Oesophageal Health.
