Raven-Symoné Pays Tribute to Late Father Christopher B. Pearman on Instagram
Raven-Symoné is heartbroken over the death of her dad, Christopher B. Pearman … taking to IG to share a touching tribute in his memory.
The actress posted a sweet throwback photo of herself as a little girl in her dad’s arms, alongside an unidentified woman … writing in the caption Tuesday, “My life has been long and abundant. And the path I’m on started with a dream. Hope he is watching with a smile on his face…”
The former child star wrapped up her tribute with a hashtag of her dad’s name, and added a dove emoji to symbolize peace and love.
Raven kept it pretty private about the details surrounding her dad’s death, but when a follower questioned the news in the comments, she confirmed it with a simple, “Yes ma’am.”
Raven’s dad was her rock during her rise to fame, acting as her manager and even directing a few episodes of her Disney Channel hit, “That’s So Raven.”
Though they kept their relationship low-key, Christopher couldn’t help but beam with pride when Raven joined “The View” in 2015, posting on Facebook he’d always support her and have her back.
It’s been a tough year for Raven, especially after losing her brother, Blaize Pearman, who died in December following a colon cancer battle.
