Rob Delaney, a comedian who appeared on “Catastrophe,” said that his child died after a battle with cancer.
Delaney, 41, confirmed Friday that his 2-year-old son, Henry, died after he was diagnosed with brain cancer.
“Henry was a joy. He was smart, funny, and mischievous and we had so many wonderful adventures together, particularly after he’d moved home following fifteen months living in hospitals. His tumor and surgery left him with significant physical disabilities, but he quickly learned sign language and developed his own method of getting from A to B shuffling on his beautiful little bum. His drive to live and to love and to connect was profound.”
He said that because of the support from his wife and two sons, “I will endeavor to not go mad with grief,” before adding, “I don’t want to miss out on their beautiful lives. I’m greedy for more experiences with them.”
“Thank you, beautiful Henry, for spending as much time with us as you did. We miss you so much,” Delaney ended the post.
A number of actors and comedians offered their condolences to Delaney.
