How heartbreaking! Rob Kardashian posted a touching tribute in honor of his father's birthday. Robert passed away Sept. 30, 2003, due to esophageal cancer at the age of 59.
The photo shows Rob at a young age, grinning from ear to ear, while posing next to his equally enthusiastic father. "Happppy Birthday Dad!!" he wrote, along with smiley face emojis and a couple of emojis of angels.

In previous years, all his kids have shared heartfelt tributes for Robert, and last year, Khloe shared a high school photo with the caption, “To the great of the great…miss you everyday!”

And on her show, Revenge Body, she opened up even more about his death, saying,“My dad died in 2003. I was 19. And when it set in, I was like, you spiral. For me, my spiral was food. I gained so much weight because I was so internally just suppressing so many things that it was like, eating me alive, and I was literally eating anything."

Rob also noted that he wishes Robert could have met his daughter, Dream.
