the legendary presenter Oprah Winfrey is going through one of the most difficult moments of his life, because his father Vernon passed away at the age of 88, after a tough battle with cancer.

Vernon Winfrey 1933-2022. Less than a week ago we honored my father in his own backyard. My friend and gospel singer Wintley Phipps greeted him with a song. He felt the love and was delighted until he could no longer speak, ”the producer also wrote along with a video.

Likewise, Oprah explained that he was surrounded by his family: “I had the sacred honor of witnessing the man responsible for my life take his last breath. We could feel peace entering the room as he passed away. That peace still remains. Everything’s fine. Thank you for his prayers and good thoughtsOprah Winfrey wrote.

Let us remember that just a week ago the 68-year-old presenter organized a surprise party he called “Vernon Winfrey Appreciation Day” and his father believed it was a celebration for the 4th of July. “My dad is sick and that’s why we wanted all his friends to come celebrate so he could get some cheer“.

In addition, Oprah Winfrey mentioned that her father enjoyed the moment very much, added to the fact that he was surrounded by special things such as his barber chair, a job to which he dedicated almost his entire life. “Giving my father his ‘flowers’ while he is still well enough to smell them. Happy 4th of July as you get together with your family and friends. Remember to celebrate each other. My father is a barber, so we put him in his chair.”

The loss of her father means a lot in Oprah Winfrey’s life, not just because just four years ago he lost his mother Vernita Lee, but because of how much Vernon cared for her even though she might not really be his daughter. “I had a father who took responsibility for me, even though he knew she could have been someone else’s daughter. My mother and father never married.”
