Gabrielle Union announced the death of her father, Sylvester “Cully” Union Jr., on Instagram. He passed away on April 3 after battling dementia. The actress reflected on his life and the disease's toll in an emotional post.
Late Saturday, Gabrielle Union dropped a tearjerker on Instagram: a video of throwback moments with her dad, Sylvester “Cully” Union Jr., plus sweet pics of him with her daughter Kaavia James Union Wade and hubby Dwyane Wade. In the caption, she revealed he passed on Friday, April 3, after dementia stole him away bit by bit. “First it’s repeating words or forgetting little things here or there, then BOOM, he can’t swallow or walk. The them that you know gets smaller and smaller,” she wrote. 💔 Nothing prepped her for it, she said, holding out for that eye contact or hand squeeze that screamed 'he's back.'
