Hulk Hogan’s daughter Brooke has shared the touching reason why she chose not to attend her father’s funeral. The late wrestling icon was laid to rest at Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Largo, Florida on Tuesday.

Despite being a private service, a number of celebrities were spotted at Hulk’s final goodbye, including Triple H and his wife Stephanie McMahon attended, singer Kid Rock and comedian Theo Von.

Linda Hogan, Hulk’s wife from 1983 to 2009 and Brooke’s mother, was the only member of the late sport star’s family spotted going in or out of the service.

Brooke, who had a feud with her father in the later years of his life, instead decided to honour her dad in her own way. The mum-of-two, who become a mother in January when she welcomed twins with ex-NHL player Steven Oleksy, shared details of her tribute on Instagram.

Captioning a snap of herself and the twins on a beach, Brooke wrote: “My father hated the morbidity of funerals. He didn’t want one. And although I know people grieve in many ways – and I’m so grateful for all celebrations and events organized to honor him, as his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best and most genuine way I knew how…privately…the way that made me feel the closest to him.

“The only thing missing today was him in is pop up lawn chair watching the waves… and the sunset. Daddy, we honored you in the simplest way that agreed with my soul. We took our babies to the beach, and put them in the same salty waters you loved.

“Molly loved the water. I think she’ll be a “little fish” as you called me. We love you and honor the things that made you so special. Every grain of sand and every wave reminded me of being your beach baby, and brought us closer to you. I pray you are at peace and know how dearly I love you. Rest in heaven, Daddy.”

Former WWE star Hulk was found “experiencing a serious medical-related issue” in a house on Eldorado Avenue, Clearwater, Florida and he was taken to Morton Plant Hospital, after Clearwater police department said officers and fire crews responded to a “medical-related call” shortly before 10am on Thursday 24 July.

He died at 11.17am in hospital and there are “no signs of foul play or suspicious activity”, Major Nate Burnside said. Meanwhile, WWE star John Cena paid tribute to Hulk as his passing was announced, posting a picture of the wrestler with Andre The Giant on Instagram.

His death was confirmed by the WWE, who posted a statement on Twitter/X saying: “WWE is saddened to learn WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has passed away.

“One of pop culture’s most recognisable figures, Hogan helped WWE achieve global recognition in the 1980s. WWE extends its condolences to Hogan’s family, friends, and fans.”
