Scroll down to see the heartfelt Instagram tributes from Sky Daily and Nick Hogan, and witness how a family’s love keeps the spirit of Hulk Hogan alive.
Hulk Hogan Passes Away at 71
The wrestling world and millions of fans were left in shock when it was confirmed that Terry Gene Bollea, known globally as Hulk Hogan, had passed away on July 24, 2025, at the age of 71.
Clearwater Police Major Nate Burnside reported that Hogan’s time of death was 11:17 AM local time. News spread quickly, first stirring confusion after years of death hoaxes, before being confirmed by his family in an official statement:
“It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness that we confirm we have lost a legend… May we all take solace in the wonderful memories he left behind for the millions of fans worldwide whose lives he touched for more than four decades. He will be missed, but never forgotten.”
For a man whose name had become synonymous with professional wrestling, his passing marked the end of an era. But for his family, it marked the loss of a father, husband, and partner.
Sky Daily: “To Me, He Was My Terry”
Among the first to share her grief publicly was Hogan’s wife, Sky Daily. The couple married in September 2023 and were baptized together later that year in a heartfelt display of their shared faith.
In a deeply emotional Instagram post, Sky wrote:
“This loss is sudden and impossible to process. To the world, he was a legend… but to me, he was my Terry. The man I loved. My partner. My heart.”
For Sky, the loss was not of a global icon, but of her closest companion. While Hogan will forever be remembered by millions for his legacy in the ring, her words painted a picture of the man behind the fame: a devoted partner, a man of faith, and someone who loved his family deeply.

“Happy birthday @nickhogan! We love you so much. Your dad couldn’t have been prouder of the son you are… loyal, loving, hard-working, and always there when it mattered most.”
