Actor Shemar Moore is “heartbroken” after his mom, Marylin Joan Wilson-Moore, passed away at the age of 76.
On Wednesday, Moore shared the sad news in a tear-jerking post on Instagram. Along with posting a series of videos, he wrote, “Marylin Joan Wilson-Moore, my mother, best friend, and partner in crime passed away Feb 8th at 76 years old…I miss her more than I ever thought possible and I don't know how to do this life without her…but I get my STRENGTH from her and I will be OK because of HER. Mama…here come that man!!!!! What I do from this day forward is for YOU!!!! I'm going to continue to LEAP and pray that the NET appears!! It was too soon…and it hurts so bad…but I know you are with me and will continue to give me strength…I love you mama.”
In one video, Shemar shared, “I stay stunned. I am heartbroken… I don't know life without this woman. I don't know what to do but I will figure it out because that's what she would want. Everything I've accomplished is because of this amazing woman. My mother is gone, she ain't here no more. But she's here.”
“I've been [quiet] because I've been crying a lot,” Moore elaborated “I've been yelling and screaming. We had plans.”
The cause of death has not been revealed but Shemar noted that she had “heart problems” and multiple sclerosis.
Shemar also shared another post set to Céline Dion's song “Because You Loved Me,” sharing pics and videos of them together. He wrote, “My Mama always said 'I was at the front of the line when God was handing out sons' .... and I always said 'Mama, you know I cut the line to get to you!' ❤️ I love you mama ❤️.”
In 2015, Shemar opened up about Marylin's struggle with MS. He told People magazine, “I just had to check myself and say, 'Listen, she's scared and asking for help, so let's help her turn in the right direction. I've just been learning about the meds and learning about how it affects different people. Five years ago, we thought she was going to be wheelchair bound. Then, by just doing some homework and really seeing what MS was all about, we learned that MS is affecting her, but not entirely. We were able to be specific about the MS and other factors in her life.”
