Days before her birthday, Jon Bon Jovi’s mother Carol Bongiovi passed away.
She was dubbed a “force to be reckoned with” by the singer.
JON Three days prior to being eighty-three, Bon Jovi’s mother, Carol Bongiovi, passed away.
Jon, 62, spoke empathetically about Carol following her death on Tuesday at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, New Jersey.
Jon told PEOPLE, “Our mother was a force to be reckoned with; her spirit and can-do attitude shaped this family.”
“We will miss her terribly.”
Carol, a former Playboy bunny, founded the fan club for her son’s band.
She met her future husband, John Bongiovi, Sr., after she enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1959.
After relocating, they reared their children in Sayreville, New Jersey.
Following that, they relocated to Holmdel, New Jersey, where she lived until her passing.
It was reported that Holmdel Funeral Home will oversee Carol’s private funeral.
Her three children, Jon, Anthony, and Matthew, as well as her 63-year-old husband, will miss her.
Jon has previously stated that when he was a child and desired to be a musician, his parents provided him with “incredible support.”
In November 2020, he said, “Even if you weren’t good at your craft, you could work on it if you thought you were,” to The Big Issue.
“As I grew older, I realized how wonderful my parents’ gift to me was.
“They genuinely believed John F. Kennedy was directing them to travel to the moon.” “You can go to the moon, of course.” Just go, John. I visited that place.
The performer told about how his parents used to take him to concerts when he was seventeen.
When Jon was seventeen, his parents allowed him to perform at events, which allowed him to pursue his aspirations.
“They were always there for me, which was amazing looking back,” he remarked.
“Because I could have to be at school at eight o’clock and get home at one or two in the morning.”
“They just told me to go to school on time, you know that’s my responsibility, but follow your dreams.”
The girl Jon fell in love with in high school, Dorothea Hurley, is the wife he married.
Together, they are parents to three sons, Jesse, Jake, and Romeo, and a thirty-one-year-old daughter, Stephanie.
Model Jake wed Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown in a tiny, private ceremony in May 2024, according to the first story from The Sun.
The parents of Millie and Jon attended the little wedding.
He expressed his excitement for the wedding to The Sun the week prior.
“My grandchildren will have more English ancestry than Italian or any other heritage I may have” That must be absurd, right? The musician screamed.
“Your kids are married and talking to you about having grandchildren all of a sudden? Wow!” In my book, this is the longest chapter.
Heartbreak for King Charles
Captain Ian Farquhar, a close friend of the king, regrettably passed away at the age of 78.
Ian has been King Charles’s and Queen Camilla’s dear friend for a long time. He further enhanced his already illustrious name by acting as the Queen Mother’s rider.
Ian was a renowned hunter and a superb horseman who served with pride in the Queen’s Own Hussars.
The King, who is already coping with his own cancer diagnosis, is devastated by this loss. Lord Jacob Rothschild, who was 87 years old, passed away just last week.
When Prince William was on leave in 2000, he dated Rose Farquhar, Ian’s daughter. In the picturesque Gloucestershire countryside, the young couple relished romantic picnics.
Ian leased a farmhouse on the Gloucestershire estate of King’s Highgrove for a considerable amount of time.
Ian had been quite sick, according to Queen Camilla’s first husband, Stephen Parker Bowles, who made this revelation to the Daily Mail.
Andy revealed that Ian died at Highgrove early on Wednesday morning.
He spoke warmly about Ian, recalling that he was “always a lot of fun, but as wild as a hawk when he was young.”
Furthermore, Andy said that Ian would go down in history as “one of the great Master of Hounds.”
Ian was the esteemed Master of the Beaufort Hunt for 34 years.
On Instagram, the Beaufort Hunt honored their former mentor.
“Sending our love and condolences to the family and friends of our own Captain Ian Farquhar breaks our hearts,” they stated. He gave us 34 years of excellent leadership before passing away quietly this week.
“Many in the hunting community held him in high regard as ‘Captain.’” He was always welcoming, helpful, and prepared to offer anyone who asked for it excellent, progressive advise.
“Anyone who had the good fortune to spend time with Ian and hear about his extraordinary and adventurous life in the army and as a hunter will cherish those memories forever. Ian had a sharp sense of humor.”
