Patrick Muldoon was in good spirits ahead of his untimely death at age 57.
His sister, Shana Muldoon Zappa, took to Instagram on Wednesday, April 22, to reveal the final video the actor sent his family just a few hours before he suffered a heart attack.
Patrick Muldoon attended an event at the Los Angeles Museum of Modern Art.
In the clip, Muldoon told his loved ones that he was at the opening of the David Geffen Galleries at the Los Angeles Museum of Modern Art.
He then walked over to a painting called Saint Ignatius of Loyola’s Vision of Christ and God the Father at La Storta by Domenichino Zampieri.
“It’s a beautiful painting. 1622, Ignatius, Loyola," the TV star expressed, alluding to his alma mater Loyola High School.
Patrick Muldoon honored his high school alma mater.
Muldoon recited a chant from Loyola before joking, “I think that’s what he was thinking in the picture, actually.”
In the second slide of her post, Muldoon Zappa published a screenshot from Google that explained how the painting represents a “mystical moment from the life of Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order.”
