‘I Will Ache’: Justin Bieber Pens Emotional Tribute After His Grandfather Dies At 80

by

At present, Justin Bieber and his family are grieving the loss of a close relative. It has been announced that Bruce Dale, Bieber’s maternal grandfather, passed away at the age of 80. Since then, the popular musician has expressed his sorrow on social media platforms, both by posting a touching photo and writing an emotional tribute. Known for openly expressing his feelings and turning to faith during difficult times, Bieber showed great vulnerability as he honored his grandfather’s memory.

It was on Instagram that the “Holy” performer honored his grandfather and shared a throwback photo of the two. The image shows the grandpa and grandson smiling at each other, as the latter lovingly holds the former’s face. In his caption, the Grammy winner shared lovely memories of his “papa,” who was apparently very generous when it came to taking care of his grandson. The 31-year-old singer also recalled their outings to sporting events, which sound chaotically sweet:

Dad, I’d often spend all the money you had on hand, chuckling to myself. I recall distinctly when you mentioned that Grandma gave you a weekly allowance of $20. Every Friday night, I’d persuade you to buy snacks for the hockey game – corn nuts, Skittles, gum balls, playing chuck-a-puck, slush puppies, and so on. You’d reluctantly hand it over to me. Shout out to referees Beatty, Fagon, Flanagan, lmao! They had to put up with your teasing for all the questionable calls they made during junior B games, lmao! My grandfather wasn’t shy about voicing his displeasure towards their performances, lmao!

The passing of Bruce Dale was officially announced through an online obituary posted by W.G. Young Funeral Home, located in Stratford, Ontario – Justin Bieber’s birthplace. Dale is said to have passed away on April 24 at the Rotary Hospice Stratford Perth, but the specific reason for his death has not been made public yet. In a later statement, Bieber expressed his hope to meet his father again in the future.

I’m eagerly looking forward to our reunion soon, up above. In the meantime, I believe you’re watching over us, perhaps still teasing Beatty or Fagon about that missed call on the cross check, laughing heartily. Until then, I’ll miss you deeply and feel a profound emptiness. I’ll take time to reminisce about all the joyous moments we shared together.

Over the last few years, the co-writer of “Yummy” has gone through periods of great joy and deep sadness. In May 2024, he and his wife Hailey Bieber revealed they were expecting their first child. Their child was born in August of that year, with many well-wishers sending their congratulations. So far, the famous pair have tried to keep their son, Jack Blues, away from the public eye. However, Justin recently posted a subtle image of him, which received numerous heartfelt reactions.

From another perspective, Justin Bieber has been entangled in various rumors and sensational news stories. There have been split rumors involving Justin and Hailey Bieber, yet the couple has refuted them on several instances. In April, Justin also made headlines when a video of him interacting assertively with paparazzi circulated online.

Despite any apparent turmoil around him, it seems that Justin Bieber is now primarily concentrating on honoring his grandfather, Bruce Dale. Losing a grandparent is something many of us can relate to, and it’s seldom an easy process. Let’s all hope that Bieber and his family are given the necessary privacy during this difficult period of mourning. On behalf of TopMob, our deepest sympathies go out to Justin and his entire family at this sorrowful time.
