Zachary Pym Williams, the eldest son of the beloved actor Robin Williams, recently shared a touching tribute to his father on what would have been his 73rd birthday. Robin, known for his roles in iconic films such as Mrs. Doubtfire, Dead Poets Society, Aladdin, and Good Will Hunting, passed away on August 11, 2014 at the age of 63, leaving behind a legacy of laughter and inspiration.
In his Instagram post, Zachary expressed his love and gratitude for his father, writing, "Dad, on what would be your 73rd birthday, I remember you for all the hope and joy you brought to the world. There's not a week that goes by without someone sharing with me how you helped them through a dark time or a rough patch. I'm so grateful and proud to be your son. Love you forever."
Accompanying his heartfelt words was a beautiful black and white photo of Robin with a mischievous smile on his face, as if he had just finished meditating. This image captures the essence of Robin's boundless energy and unique comedic genius that made him one of the brightest stars in Hollywood.
Jumanji, Good Morning, Vietnam, and Good Will Hunting, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, are just a few of the unforgettable films on Robin's resume. He was also known for his role as a loving father, with Zachary being his oldest child from his first marriage to Valerie Velardi. He later had two more children, Zelda and Cody, with his second wife, Marsha Garces. In 2011, Robin married his third wife, graphic designer Susan Schneider.
Zachary's post not only commemorated his father's birthday, but also served as a reminder of the impact Robin had on people's lives. He wrote, "On this tenth Father's Day without you, I'm remembering your incredible thoughtfulness and compassion for others. Thank you for showing me what it truly means to be unconditionally loving and kind. I miss you and love you today and every day."
Robin's death in 2014 brought significant attention to mental health issues, especially in the entertainment industry. His struggles with depression and anxiety, along with a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and later revelations of Lewy body dementia, highlighted the importance of mental health awareness and support. It sparked conversations about how society addresses mental health, the stigmas associated with it, and the necessary steps to provide better support for those in need.
Zachary has been vocal about his father's struggles and the impact they had on his life and the lives of many others. His posts serve as a reminder of the profound impact Robin had on the world and the legacy he left behind. His passing was a tragic loss, but his memory continues to live on through his work and the love and admiration of his family and fans.
