Chuck Norris' Kids Share Emotional Tributes: 'I Don't Think Grief Is A Good Enough Word'
Chuck Norris‘ kids are remembering their biggest hero: their dad.
As you know, the legendary actor passed away on Thursday according to a sad post his family made Friday morning. It’s unclear what happened, but it was a very sudden passing that left everyone in shock. And on Friday, his grieving children are taking some time to remember him as they process the loss.
On Instagram, Chuck’s son Dakota Norris shared some heartfelt black and white photos of himself and his father to his page. He wrote in the caption:
“Dad, it’s hard to find the right words for this, but I’ll do my best. You’ve been the man I looked up to my whole life. Your generosity, your kindness, your courage, your integrity, your strength, your discipline, and your faith in the Lord were just a handful of things I always admired about you. You lived your life with purpose and with love for all people.”
He went on, mentioning how his dad never forgot to tell him how much he loved him every single day:
“You were the greatest father God could have ever given me and the finest man I’ve ever known. No matter what I was going through, you were always there. You made sure I knew how much you loved me. Honest to God, I don’t think there was a single day that went by where you didn’t say it. I’m so proud to be your son. The memories we made, the lessons you taught me, and the constant laughs we shared will stay with me for the rest of my life.”
Aww…
Wrapping up his tearful post, Dakota said:
“Thank you for everything you gave to our family and for the example you set every day. I hope I can live a life that honors you and makes you proud. I love you, Dad. I’ll miss you forever.”

Danilee Norris, Chuck’s daughter and Dakota’s twin sister, also shared a memorial post on Friday. She shared some pictures of herself and her father, writing in her own emotional caption:
“I don’t think grief is a good enough word to describe the emotions my family and I are going through right now.. losing a parent is something that you are never prepared for.”
No doubt. We can’t imagine the pain the family is feeling right now. She continued:
“Before I take the much needed time for myself and my family, I wanted to dedicate this post to my sweet father and acknowledge the amazing man he is. My dad was my protector the moment I was born and as soon as he took me in his arms, I’ve been his little girl. That was something I would always acknowledge even when I was too big to be cradled properly. We made it work though just like one of the pictures above.”
The 24-year-old went on, describing Chuck’s endless kindness and unbreakable spirit:
“My dad loved so deeply and cared for every single person in his life with so much tenderness. He may have a warrior exterior, but his heart was so full of love and I’m so grateful that is something he and my mom passed down to me. To say how thankful I am for him being my dad is an understatement. He has been my safe person these past 24 years and I am constantly filled with gratitude for how much wisdom and love he has bestowed me and my brother.”
She also touched on her strong faith, something she and the Walker, Texas Ranger star shared:
“I will forever carry on his legacy and shower others in that compassion that he so frequently showed. There is so much I want to say with 24 years worth of memories I could write about, but I will go ahead and at least say this – I could not have asked the Lord for a more amazing father. I thank You, Lord, for blessing me with a father who took every opportunity to show me that he wanted to give us a good life. And thank you, Dad, for supporting me in all my passions and for pushing me to not shy away from the impossible.”
Danilee finished her post with a heartbreaking message:
“Thank you for your constant compassion and for loving me so much that it’s made me learn to love myself. I promise I will always and forever try to make you proud even if you already reminded me every day that it was impossible not to. I love you forever.
Love your little girl,
Danilee

So, so devastating. Chuck shared Dakota and Danilee with his second wife, Gena O’Kelley. He also shared 63-year-old Mike and 60-year-old Eric with his first wife, Diane Holecheck.
Our heart continues to be with Chuck’s family and loved ones.
