Model and entrepreneur Chrissy Teigen shared emotional images from the funeral of her father, Ron Teigen Sr., who recently passed away at the age of 86.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the photos were posted to the Stories section of her Instagram profile and show moments from the farewell ceremony alongside family members.
One of the gestures that drew the most attention was Teigen’s decision to wear a utility vest that belonged to her father during the memorial service. In a video, she joked about the number of pockets on the garment and said she finally understood why he loved wearing it so much. The model’s husband, John Legend, can be seen in the background reacting humorously to the comment.
The funeral images show Teigen wearing the blue vest over black clothing, holding flowers and paying tribute to her father. In one of the most striking photos, she is seen sitting on the floor in front of the casket, accompanied by Legend and one of their daughters, as they look at a photograph of Ron Teigen Sr. placed near the coffin.
Amid her grief, Teigen also posted a lighthearted video alongside her mother, Vilailuck ‘Pepper’ Teigen. The two took part in the popular “tortilla slap challenge“, explaining that they were trying to find a way to cope with the pain of their loss.
Ron Teigen Sr.’s death was announced by the model in a social media post published on June 10. In the message, which has since been deleted, she described the shock of losing her father so suddenly and recalled a letter she had written months earlier to thank him for everything he had done for the family. John Legend also paid tribute to his father-in-law, highlighting how proud he was of his children and grandchildren.
