Drew Sidora is mourning the loss of her father, Dr. Robert Jordan.
The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star announced on Instagram Tuesday that Dr. Jordan had died following a battle with Alzheimer’s disease.
“You’re never prepared for the inevitable, but here we are,” she captioned a video montage of special moments with her dad, who passed away on Aug. 11.
“It is with tears flowing, I announce that my father Dr. Robert A. Jordan has made his transition into Heaven,” she continued. “As my mom says, He fought a good fight and finished his race, with a smile on his face he picked up his crown at Heaven’s Gate!”
Sidora, 38, then thanked everyone for sharing their personal stories of caring for a loved one who has Alzheimer’s, a type of dementia that affects memory, thinking and behavior, per the Alzheimer’s Association.
“I was a Daddy’s Girl and I will cherish the precious memories that will forever live in my heart and his legacy lives forever!” she added.
The “Game” alum said that Dr. Jordan was “the best pediatrician in all of Chicago” and “was passionate about helping people, saving lives and providing quality healthcare to those in the indigent community.”
Sidora concluded her post by thanking everyone for their condolences and asking them to keep her family in their prayers as they continue to grieve.
“I thank God, knowing we will see you Daddy again!” she wrote.
