A former “Saved by the Bell” star is posted to social media over the weekend to share the news of the death of her father.
Tiffani Thiessen, who played Kelly Kapowski on the hit show, took to Instagram to announce that her father, Frank Thiessen, has died at the age of 85.
“My Dad was a lover of many things,” she wrote. “Animals, plants, chocolate, jazz, anything citrus, lottery tickets, cars, watches, stray dogs & cats and good Italian pasta.
“But what he loved most was his family,” she added. “He was a quiet man, but was never quiet about showing his love for us. He was kind, had a sweet sense of humor and was the utmost gentleman.”
She continued:
“Daddy, I am heartbroken you are gone,” she posted. “However, I know you are at peace now and that brings me comfort. I promise you I will watch over Mom and take care of her as you did for over 60 years. Thank you for being such a dedicated husband and showing me what a true gentleman is. Thank you for being a wonderful Dad and Grampa and being there for us. But most of all, thank you for loving me like you always did. No matter what, you had my back and were my biggest fan. I loved making you proud. I love you, Daddy. We miss you so much.”
“Saved by the Bell” co-star Mario Lopez, who played A.C. Slater, reacted to the post.
“God Bless you and the family Tiff,” he wrote. “Losing a parent is so incredibly hard. I can’t imagine your pain and grief at this time… Love you honey, sending nothing but love.”
Thiessen’s “Beverly Hills 90210″ co-star Jason Priestley also reached out.
“So sorry for you loss Tiff,” he wrote. “Sending you love and light.”
Others who reacted to the news were Sharon Stone, Seth Green, Lacey Chabert, Caroline Rhea, as well as fans.
