Friends and followers of the former Channel 7 star flooded his page with love after reading his post.
Eight years have passed since the passing of Luke Jacobz’s late father, John Ashwood, the former star of Home and Away.
Jacobz earlier told followers that 2015 was “the worst year of my life” before Ashwood passed away from brain cancer in that year.
The soon-to-be father, whose full name is Luke Jacob Ashwood, uploaded a picture of himself with his father on Sunday along with a sentimental statement.
“Today is eight years. Not a single day has passed that I haven’t thought about this man,” the post said.
“I still grieve for him, but I also honor the man he was! I will continue to do things in his honor that he done for so many people.
“I will be having a Crown Larger for you tonight. Miss you mate.”
Friends and followers took to the comments to offer messages of support for the actor.
“Your dad was the best! Have so many great memories of him. My favourite has to be Millenium New Year’s Eve party Amazing outfit 😂,” a friend wrote.
“Beautiful pic brother. Love you,” said a second.
“Can’t believe it’s been that long. So much love for the both of you. X,” a third said.
He had tremendous personality. The connection you two had was lovely. Another person wrote, “He would be very proud of you and looking down on you.
Famous friends liked the post, including Sophie Dillman and Paddy O’Connor from Home and Away as well as Better Homes and Gardens host Johanna Griggs.
2015 was described as the “worst year of my life” in a post by Jacobz in 2019.
At the time, he remarked, “I’ve never felt such grief and sadness to watch someone I loved so much, slowly slip away and be lost forever.
“The love and support he had was amazing, but the cancer destroyed my world,” the speaker said.
The actor, who played Angelo Rosetta on Home and Away, is set to become a dad himself this year, after announcing in July 2023 that his wife Raychel Stuart is pregnant.
The baby joy comes only a few weeks after the couple wed in Sydney.
“2023 has been quite the year,” he said in an Instagram announcement on July 11.
“Wedding in June and a baby in November!”
“Our home is already filled with so much love, and we can’t wait to welcome our little one.
“My amazing wife is extremely inspiring to me. She’s working so hard, and it shows.
After breaking the news, Jacobz gave his first interview about it on The Morning Show. He disclosed that he and his wife had been trying to start a family for a while.
Raychel and I are expecting a child! We’ve been trying for a while, so the news came after we arranged the wedding, and we are so, very delighted,” he said.
“We said, ‘We’re not going to reschedule the wedding just because Raychel is pregnant’, so anyway we’re thrilled.”
Jacobz and Stuart met in 2017 and announced their engagement in November 2018.
They then had to spend 16 months apart due to international travel restrictions.
