Dom Dolla Shares Heartbreaking Farewell Following Father's Death

Dom Dolla‘s father has died after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s disease, the DJ announced on social media this week.His post about his father offered a view of his private life that his fans rarely see.

The Aussie dance music superstar described his dad as a gifted architect who spent 50 years as a partner to his mother and raised two children, Dolla and his sister.“Rest in peace to the most wonderful man I’ve ever known,” Dolla wrote.

“Endlessly intelligent, caring, giving and proud.You were the best dad I could have asked for, always encouraging me in my goals and dreams.” Over the past decade, he says he watched Alzheimer’s disease take his father’s mind away from the family.

Even so, glimpses of the man he had always known would surface from behind the lost memories.Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, a condition that gradually wears away memory and thinking and often places heavy emotional demands on the families who care for those living with it.

Dolla’s account joins many others from people who have described the brutal grief of losing a parent in stages, first to the illness and later to death, while still holding on to moments of recognition along the way.“There were so many times I wanted to share you with the world but couldn’t, in fear of confusing you,” Dolla wrote.

“Behind the heartbreak and sadness I am also relieved you are now at peace, and forever proud to call myself your son.” Scroll to continue more from edm Watch Avicii’s Full Debut Tomorrowland Set From 2011, Including the Premiere of ‘Levels’ Follow Dom Dolla: X: x.com/domdollaInstagram: Instagram.com/domdollaTikTok: tiktok.com/@domdollaFacebook: facebook.com/domdollamusicSpotify: tinyurl.com/aaskkbsn...
