This was a tough post for Rico Rodriguez.
On Sunday, the 18-year-old actor who plays Manny on "Modern Family" took to Instagram to mourn the sudden loss of his father, Roy.
“This has been the toughest week of my life. My Dad was the most kindhearted, loving, hard working, determined, and funny man I have ever known. He was like a super hero, he had the ability to get the best out of you day in and day out,” Rodriguez wrote.
“I’m gonna miss your hugs. I’m gonna miss your advice. I’m gonna miss your smile, and I’m gonna miss your laugh. I know you’re looking down at us right now giving us the green light to move forward. I miss you Daddy. I’ll love you forever – Your youngest."
The photo Rodriguez used to memorialize his father was from happier times — a father-son bonding moment over milkshakes.
According to Roy Rodriguez's obituary, he died March 12. He is survived by his wife, Maria, and four children.
