Luke Perry’s Kids Are Keeping His Memory Alive in Their Own Ways

Luke Perry wasn’t just a beloved actor; he was a devoted dad. Best known for “Beverly Hills, 90210″ and “Riverdale,” his legacy extends far beyond the screen, living on through his kids, Jack and Sophie Perry. Since their father’s passing in 2019 (after complications from a stroke), both children have honored his memory in ways that reflect who he was as a father and the values he instilled in them, according to People.

Jack Perry: Honoring His Dad in the Ring

Jack Perry, born in 1997, has made a name for himself in the world of professional wrestling as “Jungle Boy” and “Scapegoat.” It’s a career path Luke fully supported as he was often seen at his son’s matches, cheering him on from the crowd. Jack eventually signed with All Elite Wrestling (AEW), a moment that his dad would have been incredibly proud of.

Jack has spoken about how much his father influenced his life, saying Luke taught him to be kind and to make a positive impact wherever he could. “I’m proud to know that my dad touched so many people in a really positive way and made them feel better,” he once told People. His success in wrestling isn’t just about his own ambition; it’s a way to carry forward the lessons and encouragement his father gave him.

Sophie Perry: Carrying on Luke’s Kindness

Born in 2000, Sophie Perry has taken a different but equally heartfelt approach to honoring her dad. Not long after his passing, she focused on humanitarian work in Malawi, Africa, helping build preschools in underprivileged communities. She said, “it feels right to come back, to finish what I started, to do the most with whatever time we have left. I recently learned that may not be as much time as we think,” per People. One of those schools was even named after Luke; a tribute that perfectly reflects the kind of person he was.

Sophie has also shared personal tributes to her father on her social media, often posting throwback photos and heartfelt messages on his birthday or Father’s Day. One of her most touching tributes was a small tattoo of a mushroom, representing the biodegradable suit Luke was buried in an eco-conscious choice that highlighted their shared love for the environment.

A Legacy That Lives On

Jack and Sophie have found their own ways to keep their father’s memory alive; through passion, kindness, and staying true to themselves. Whether it’s Jack making waves in wrestling or Sophie making a difference in education, both are continuing Luke’s legacy in ways he would have absolutely loved.

Luke Perry may be gone, but thanks to his kids, his influence isn’t fading anytime soon.
