Bobby Sherman died at 81 years old.

"Bobby left this world holding my hand — just as he held up our life with love, courage, and unwavering grace through all 29 beautiful years of marriage," Brigitte's message continued. "I was his Cinderella, and he was my prince charming. Even in his final days, he stayed strong for me."

As he rested, I read him fan letters from all over the world —words of love and gratitude that lifted his spirits and reminded him of how deeply he was cherished. He soaked up every word with that familiar sparkle in his eye. And yes, he still found time to crack well-timed jokes — Bobby had a wonderful, wicked sense of humor. It never left him."
