Im out of here. Now for december 14, 2016, this is entertainment tonight shock and sadness over the death of one of tvs alltime favorite dads, alan thicke. We have unforgettable moments with the growing pains star that you cant see anywhere anywhere else. We begin with alans final moments and what happened and Michelle Turner is where the tv icons life ended far too soon. Its my main goal in life, i suppose, on my way out the door beloved, remembered and appreciated. The 69yearold actor died of a heart attack. Hed been doing what he loved, playing hockey with his son carter at a rink just over a mile from here. E. T. Onlines lauren zima spoke can devinthmatthewson who calle 911. Was he speaking and coherent . What was happening . He was coherent. He was moving and talking and as time went on they did his itals and he kind of looked etter. In fact, he had carter take a picture and he said hey, kid, take a picture and make sure you get the rink in the background as they were taking him out of here. He was pronounced dead yesterday afternoon. E. T. Had learned that thicke had preexisting heart problems and that doctors tried to save him in surgery. This was alans last public appearance just 12 days ago. He was honored at the whistler Film Festival at his native canada where he was promoting a new film. It is you or them the actor was always in demand. Break a leg, kid. He appeared on the premiere of this is us and is on fuller house season 2 streaming now. Where he worked with david coullier, and Candace Cameron bure. Its weird because youre, like, i just talked to him. I just saw him. He wasnt sick. Yeah. He wasnt you know, he was so healthy and so young and hes gone. What do you think his leggcy would be . He will be so missed, but thing, i just feel like he just went out with so much love. That guys very loved and that makes me happy. You know, it was just a shock. Just a shock to everyones system, you know . Because he was so young. I will always remember alan as a funny guy who always had a joke or a funny story, who loved his family, loved hockey, and you know, i said to someone yesterday, if i could die playing hockey that would probably be one of the happiest days of my life. Of course, more than anything, alan will be remembered as americas dad. Oh, come on, maggie yeah, come on, maggie. Hes dropping out of school. No hes not dropping out. Thank god no, your mother. We should ask her what to do. E. T. Was on the set of growing pains in 1985 before the show premiered and alan was the biggest name and hed been on game shows and had his own talk show thhck is the night and he had no problem giving with his costars. We had a very attractive 15yearold cast member, kirk cameron who would become a heartthrob within months and he was carrying the series for years. The successful sitcom and royalties from it helped alan reach an estimated worth of 40 million and he credits growing pains for helping him get through a very dark time. Last year i got cancelled and divorced on the same day. I kind of disappeared into a black hole. The growing pains role feels very close to what i do in real life as a parent. Youre grounded for the rest of your life. And a month after that. One of the things that i think worked about growing pains is the chemistry of the cast and its a genuine chemistry and the families are all very close, and thats with success, of course. And then in a few years when they really start to fade, everybody will be at each others throats. Kirk cameron said this after hearing of alans death. Quote, i spent monday through friday for seven important years with alan thicke as my tv dad. Alan was a generous, kind and loving man. We will cherish the memories, sharing the laughter and love. Show me that smile again dont waste another minute on your crying were nowhere near the end the best is ready to begin until my dying day, if thats the last thing on my epitaph is that he was the dad on growing pains, thank the lord. Now to the loved ones alan leaves behind. I learned a lot from being married to him. Today i spoke exclusively y phone with thickes first wife of 14 years, singer and days of our lives actress gloria loring. What was he like as a father . Alan loved his kids. He was a good dad. He was always there when they needed him. Hows your dad as a coach . Pretty good. We definitely saw that devoted dad. We were with alan back in 1985 coaching his and glorias two older sons brennan and robin. On saturdays i have two games, two soccer games and two football games. Of course, he grew up and having his own son julian making him a grandpa. Robin got into acting with the help of his dad and we were with the then 13yearold as he shot a cameo on growing pains so you want to go into music . Yeah. Im doing the best i can. My dad is helping me out a lot. He was the best man i ever knew. The best friend i ever had. It echoes what alans youngest son carter posted. Is this him . Is this the famous carter . This is him. In this interview of 2013 carter spoke of their bond. He was, of course, with his dad at the ice rink yesterday. You like playing sports. I know you mentioned you play sports. Whats your bonding thing . Id say sports usually. Carters mom is gina tolleson. And tania callau, another mom. Shed gone from runways in south beach to diaper duty and just rolled up her sleeves and went to work. I needed somebody who would relate to my son that way, and bond that way. So that kind of sealed the deal. In this interview, tanya told us she had one big fear. Eerie to hear today. Im afraiddof him ever getting sick or being ill after his terrible hockey injury, he lost five of his teeth and he showed up, and i thought i was going to faint. I want him to be healthy and happy forever. It just tugs at the heart strings just hearing it. When alan and tanya said i do we were the only show they invited to attend and we have amazing, emotional video and that is coming up a little bit later. One thing hat a lot of people dont know about alan is how many famous theme songs he wrote. Some of the best ever. Like this one. And he also wrott the original theme to wheel of fortune and the jokers wild but ive got to say the alltime favorite has toobe the packs of life which he cowrote with thenwife gloria and shes the one singing, too. Such a talented man. Thats a fact. Lets talk about the singing on the voice last night and a new champ was crowned as team blake ruled again, but make was so humble in victory. Yeah, right. The winner of the voice is sundance. Im really happy that i was able to be the coach that coached the winner and adam was not. I feel really good. Im not sure whats going on. Youre not sure whats going on . Other than that, everythings great. Didnt plan on wwnning so i didnt pack anything. Thats five wins for blake, making him the winningest coach in the shows history, but after 11 seasons, the voice which gives the winner a record deal has yet to produce a charttopping star and thats not sitting well with blake. I want to personally issue a challenge to universal records. We need to make a record and put the work behind it that he deserves. It means a lot to me to know that he really believes and cares that much. We reached out to Universal Music Group which didnt respond for comment in time for our deadline, but sundance wants a lot more than just a shot at stardom. He got to rock out with kiss. Bruno mars, kelly clarkson, Ariana Grande and john legend also performed on last nights starstudded finale. After next season, mileys sitting out and gwens coming another win for blake. We are both excited and high fiving anddpartying about it when we got the news, but gwen is special, you know . She deserves this. Thats major tv news from dancing stars derek and julianne hough.

I was so nervous. I was best man at mark ballas wedding and i was there and i was literally shaking holding the speech and i was, like it was hands down the most beautiful thing ive ever heard.
