Tim Tebow Shares Plans To Honor His Father After Death at 78
Tim Tebow is set to honor his father later this month.
Last month, Tebow announced that his father, Robert, had passed away. Robert Tebow died at 78 years old, following health battles.
"Heaven ushered in a hero of the faith last night as my Dad was welcomed home! Many will say sorry for your loss but the truth is he's not lost, we know exactly where he is. He's home.
Forever!" Tebow wrote.
"He couldn't wait to see Jesus face to face. Praise God that his wait is over. Death has been swallowed up in victory. He's healed and whole now. So we don't mourn as those with no hope. See you soon Dad!"
On Tuesday, May 5, the former Heisman Trophy winner announced the plans to celebrate his father's life.
Tebow releases celebration of life plans for his dad
Tebow is encouraging all to attend.
"My dad dedicated his life to making sure people had the chance to hear the Gospel. Not for fame. Not for recognition. Just because he loved Jesus and he loved people, and he couldn't imagine keeping that to himself. Thursday, we get to honor that. We get to look back at a life fully lived for what matters most and how we get the chance to carry that forward. If you want to celebrate dad and hear about a life of significance and what makes life worth living, bring a friend, carpool together, and come join us. I can't think of a better way to celebrate him," he wrote.
The celebration will be held at the Church of Eleven22 in Jacksonville, Florida.
It will start at 10 a.m. E.T. on May 7.
