Nick Hogan’s Father’s Day Tribute Resurfaces After Hulk Hogan’s Passing
The wrestling world continues to mourn the loss of legend Hulk Hogan, who died of cardiac arrest on July 24, 2025. In the wake of his death, a Father’s Day post shared by his son, Nick Hogan, has taken on new emotional weight.

Just weeks before his passing, Hulk and Nick posted matching Father’s Day tributes on June 15. One image, now widely circulated, shows the duo in coordinated yellow and red outfits, flexing their muscles in a playful school photo.
“Had a great Father’s Day with the goat! Happy Father’s Day to all the awesome dads!” Nick captioned the nostalgic Instagram post.
Hulk’s own social media also featured the photo, using the occasion to promote his wrestling shop’s Father’s Day sale.

A Quiet Mourning
Since his father’s passing, Nick has remained publicly silent. However, his wife, Tana Lea, honored Hulk by posting photos from their wedding earlier this year. One image shows Hulk raising his arms joyfully behind Nick. Another captures him placing a hand on Nick’s shoulder, both beaming with pride.
A source told Us Weekly, “Hulk and Nick were very close. They both lived in Florida and shared a solid father-son relationship.”
A Legacy Beyond the Spotlight
As tributes pour in, Hulk Hogan’s legacy is being remembered not just for the showmanship in the ring, but for the personal bonds he nurtured behind the scenes — with his son, with his peers, and with fans across generations.
