Messages of support continue to pour in for media personality Clint Brink, who recently lost his father, Clinton Brink.
Clint, 42, shared the news on his social media platforms and wrote: “Nothing could prepare us for this moment. I know I wasn’t ready to not have you around anymore. Another way of living now needs to happen for us. How we don’t know … but the pain is gone now. Rest well Daddy.”
Clint, who became a father in April this year, shared a heartfelt Father’s Day tribute to his dad in June.
He admired his father’s teachings of values and principles instilled through out his life.
Clint shared an image of himself and his dad with his newborn baby Arielle Harmony.
He captioned the picture: “You’ve given me everything you never got. You shared your victories and your losses. You’ve taught me the value of character, integrity, respect and honest hard work.
“You’ve shown me what belief in yourself can do. You showed me that you need to be a gentleman and a soldier. You’ve never withheld love even through the roughest patches. These qualities and lessons have made me a wealthy man. That wealth I have passed on to my wife and daughter.
“I have had to be very patient and endure much to experience fatherhood and therefore the fruit is sweetest. God’s time is always on time. My cup runs over.”
