Robin Williams is still remembered 10 years after his death as a beloved actor, son, brother, and father.

In an Instagram post published ten years after his passing, his son Zak, now 41, shared a photo of his father and wrote: «Dad, it’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years. Today I reflect on the immense love you shared with all of us — your family, friends, and everyone you met. You continue to inspire me every day to do everything possible to help create a more connected and loving world for our family. Love you forever».
Additionally, remembering Robin, his 35-year-old daughter Zelda responded to rumors about her father on the 10th anniversary of his death. She noted on X: «And as the anniversary of my father’s death likely brings up even more false or poorly researched posts that may go viral, you can just assume all of them are garbage (usually they are). Ignore the scary robots trying to get clicks off of your pain, and instead do something nice for yourself. I know I will».
Robin originally started his career as a comedian but became known for many iconic roles, from voicing Genie in «Aladdin» to playing an English teacher in «Dead Poets Society» and Teddy Roosevelt in «Night at the Museum».
During a 2021 interview for «The Genius Life», - Zak shared that when his father was diagnosed with the disease, it significantly impacted his life. «He had issues with focus that frustrated him. There were issues with how he felt… neurologically, he didn’t feel great», - he said. «There was just more anxiety and depression and things that he talked to me about that made me realize he was really uncomfortable».
He added: «When you’re an artist, it goes beyond pride in what you do — it’s your existence».
Robin’s spirit still lives on in his family, and they continue to remember him and his creative mind.
