“I haven’t really wanted to post anything since the passing of my father. My heart has hurt too much,” the 39-year-old wrote on Instagram.
“I’m gonna keep this short because he certainly hated long rambling speeches. He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be apart of a very small group that got to call him ‘Dad.’”
He continued, “My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude. I got 14,501 days with that man and I know that is such a blessing. I think this quote best describes my father.”
Jack then shared a quote from author Hunter S. Thompson, which reads, “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body… but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming,‘Wow! What a ride!’”
“That was my dad,” Jack wrote. “He lived and he lived his life fully. I love you dad.”
The heartfelt post, which Jack shared with his 1.2 million followers on the platform, was accompanied by a video of Jack with his well-known dad at “The Howard Stern Show” in November 1997.
“How cool is it to have Ozzy as a dad?” Stern requested the then-12-year-old. “Very cool,” Jack responded.
