Hulk Hogan’s widow, Sky, is mourning the loss of her father Kirk after he died on Wednesday from colon cancer – less than a year after the death of her husband.
She broke the news to her followers on social media, saying the past 12 months have ‘gutted’ her following the initial death of the legendary wrestler from cardiac arrest in Florida last July.
‘My father Kirk passed away last night after a hard battle with colon cancer that became increasingly difficult this last year,’ she wrote. ‘I’m especially thankful to his wife, Robin – thank you for taking such good care of my dad through all of this.Â
‘Losing my husband and my father in the same year has honestly gutted me. I’m comforted somewhat knowing my sisters and I got to be there with him, love him through it all, and make sure he never felt alone at the end.’
She added: ‘He was a true outdoorsman. He loved hiking, camping, canoeing, wildlife, and teaching us every random forest trick he knew. He loved westerns and old kung fu movies too, and somehow made all of those things feel magical when we were kids. So many of my childhood memories are tied to the outdoors because of him.’
The legendary wrestler’s son, Nick, commented on the post: ‘I’m so sorry Sky. We all loved him very much and will miss him deeply.’Â

Sky, 47, was married to Hulk Hogan for almost two years before his death. She was his third wife and they had gotten married in Clearwater, Florida in September 2023.
‘I wasn’t ready for this…and my heart is in pieces,’ Sky wrote at the time of her husband’s death.
‘He had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them. I had so much faith in his strength. I thought we still had more time.’
