Bob Saget's Daughter Aubrey Shares Heartfelt Final Text From Her Dad

Published January 11, 2022

Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult things a person can endure. Losing a loved one suddenly and unexpectedly adds an entirely different level of shock and sadness in addition to heartbreak. Comedian, actor, father, and husband Bob Saget died on Sunday, January 9 at the age of 65 in his Orlando hotel room, as reported by TMZ.

Now, the actor's eldest daughter Aubrey is sharing the last text she received from her father.

TMZ reported that actor and comedian Bob Saget passed away on Sunday late afternoon.

The news came as a shock to fans, as the 65-year-old had just put on a successful comedy show in Jacksonville the night before.

Bob is survived by his wife Kelly Rizzo and his three adult daughters — Aubrey, 34, Lara, 32, and Jennifer, 29.

As fans will recall, the comedian was married to attorney Sherri Kramer for 15 years, with whom he had his three children.

In the days following Bob's death, it's clear to see the actor had a huge impact on both his on-screen, and his off-screen family.

It's safe to say he lived up to his affectionate nickname of "America's Dad" very well.

The Full House cast released a collective statement on Instagram Monday night.

"Thirty-five years ago, we came together as a TV family, but we became a real family," the statement began.

"And now we grieve as a family. Bob made us laugh until we cried. Now our tears flow in sadness, but also with gratitude for all the beautiful memories of our sweet, kind, hilarious, cherished Bob."

"He was a brother to us guys, a father to us girls and a friend to all of us. Bob, we love you dearly. We ask in Bob’s honor, hug the people you love. No one gave better hugs than Bob."

The note ended with the names of all of Bob's Full House co-stars — " John, Dave, Candace, Jodie, Lori, Andrea, Scott, Jeff, Ashley and Mary-Kate."

On Sunday night, Bob's immediate family released the following emotional statement to news outlets:

"We are devastated to confirm that our beloved Bob passed away today. He was everything to us and we want you to know how much he loved his fans, performing live and bringing people from all walks of life together with laughter," they began.

Just two years ago, Bob explained how important it was for him to be alive for his children.

During his Masked Singer elimination interview with ET in 2020, he told the news outlet: "I've got to live forever, I've got three daughters and a wife and a life, I can't die."

"I don't know what to do. I've got to live forever," he added.

The comedian then went on to talk about the importance of maintaining communication and friendship with those you love, even if it's just over text.

"We all need to be an example for what we wish the world to be which is, you know, caring about other people… When you care about somebody, especially now I'm finding you got to let them know, you got to reach out and then it's nice to get that heart emoji back or whatever you get back,"

Now, Bob's eldest daughter Aubrey is sharing the last heartfelt text interaction she shared with her father before his death.

As reported by People magazine, Aubrey posted a screenshot of the text exchange from her dad, who was in the midst of his "I Don't Do Negative" stand-up tour.

"Though we ask for privacy at this time, we invite you to join us in remembering the love and laughter that Bob brought to the world."

"Thank u. Love u. Showtime!" he wrote, as seen in Aubrey's Instagram Story post.
