Lukas Radovich, a former Home and Away actor, expressed a heartbreaking personal tragedy by revealing the passing of his father on Instagram.
On Tuesday, Lukas, who portrayed Ryder Jackson on the well-known Seven drama for five years, uploaded a number of pictures with his father and said, “We lost our Captain.”
Before my family could begin their Italian vacation and be together for the first time in more than seven years, our Captain passed away, the actor stated.
“We bid farewell to beloved Maximus yesterday, and words cannot express our sorrow.
“So much loved and taken from us too soon.
Hearing about his achievements yesterday, nothing surprised me.
But each one revealed something about his personality.
“Wise, humorous, independent, compassionate, daring, and loving.
“I still feel and always will feel that love. It won’t ever fade away.
According to Lukas, his father left him “a long list of rules for life, which I will continue to live by in his memory, but I’ll leave you with three.”
“Good wine should be shared, not kept for later.
‘Remain curious.
Furthermore, never ever wear thongs when flying. 💘💘💘💘”
In order to offer their sympathies to the family, fans and friends flocked to the comments area.
I know the sadness will last for a long time, but I can guarantee you that he will be with you in all you do, one person commented in response to the untimely loss.
I adore the three lessons.
Another person said, “Such a beautiful tribute Luke. Sending you and your family lots of love Xx.”
Another added, “Love and blessings to you and your family, Lukey.”
“I’m sorry that we won’t get to share our future with him. He was such a lovely man.”
Among the pictures Lukas showed were ones of his father holding him as a baby, of his father later in life operating a boat, and of them more recently sitting side by side.
One admirer said, “So sorry to hear about your dad, he sounds like he was a really special guy!”
“Much love to you and your entire family.”
In May of last year, Lukas made his exit from Home and Away official and thanked the cast, staff, and viewers for making his time there unforgettable.
What an amazing journey, he wrote.
“I’ll keep this brief because I can’t really describe how the past five years have felt or affected my life.
The actor said that although he would “miss the job,” he would miss the people more.
He specifically praised Tony Gardiner, the show’s director, for directing his “final block with empathy.”
Finally, he remarked, “And thanks to the FANS of the Show who’ve made the experience unforgettable,” concluding, “Until the next thing – catch you on the flipside.”
Lukas has performed on Broadway in the play All His Beloved Children since leaving Home and Away.
