Hulk Hogan’s Passing Sent Shockwaves Through the Community
Sky Daily Hogan, Hulk Hogan’s wife, shared an emotional message on social media Friday, expressing her disbelief and her hopes that he would overcome the health challenges he faced leading up to his death on Thursday. The wrestling icon was 71 years old.
She posted a heartfelt note on Instagram early Friday morning, just a day after Hogan passed away from cardiac arrest at their home in Florida. “I wasn’t ready for this…and my heart is breaking,” she wrote. “He was facing health struggles, and we truly believed he would pull through. I had faith in his strength. I thought we still had more time.”
Reports from TMZ first broke the news of Hogan’s death, mentioning the possible cause as cardiac arrest at his Clearwater home. Local authorities later confirmed that paramedics had responded to a medical emergency call prior to Hogan being treated on the scene and then transported to a local hospital.
This tragic news followed weeks of speculation regarding Hogan’s health; however, his wife had previously dismissed those claims, insisting he was “strong” and had made a good recovery from surgery.
In her message, Sky expressed the profound loss she felt, describing it as “sudden and unbearable.” She reflected on Hogan’s legacy, saying, “To the world, he was a legend…but to me, he was my Terry. He was my everything.” She emphasized the depth of his love for his fans, noting that even in discomfort, he did everything he could to connect with them—signing autographs, taking pictures, and being present. “You meant the world to him,” she added.
Sky also found solace in her faith, stating, “I take comfort in knowing his soul is at peace and welcomed into the house of Christ.” In December 2023, both she and Hogan shared their baptism on social media, where Hogan described it as a transformative day filled with love and devoid of negativity.
News of Hogan’s death reverberated across the internet, drawing tributes from wrestling legends, fans, and public figures honoring his legacy. Sky concluded her message asking for prayers for all who loved him during this challenging time.
