Shanna Moakler has lost another beloved family member.
Almost eight months after she announced the death of her mother, Gail Moakler, in January, the beauty queen publicly mourned the death of her father Dr. John W. Moakler III.
Although she did not mention the cause of her death, she shared the tragic news in a social media post that featured several photos of their time together, including one from her wedding to her now ex-husband, Travis Barker. Despite the sad reality, Shanna reveals that she takes solace in the prospect of her parents’ heavenly reunion.

On Friday, Shanna took to Instagram to inform fans of John’s passing in a tribute that touched even the coldest of hearts. Filling ten slides with some of her best memories with her father, the former Miss USA began with a close-up shot, with the deceased wearing a blue v-neck over a red crewneck.
In the second and third pictures, the father-daughter pair are shown holding each other tightly as the younger Shanna sparkles in a sparkly gown and black-and-white dinner dress. While the other four slides feature John posing with various family members, the eighth is a view of him and his daughter beaming in front of the camera on her wedding day.

The doctor appears in the middle of a procedure in the dentist’s office in the ninth picture and puts his hand on his daughter’s shoulder in the last slide. He wrote in the caption:
“So sad to share my father’s passing, the only solace is knowing he is with my beautiful mother. I am so grateful that I had as many years with my parents as I did, and had the time I had these last weeks with him. My dad was an amazing husband, doctor and father, he was more than anyone could ask for. I will hold on to the amazing life my parents provided for me and the love and strength they instilled in me.”
Going further, Shanna praised her late parents for the “unwavering support” they showed her even though she didn’t deserve it. She wrapped up with a declaration of love for John while appreciating “all those who have called and sent messages of support.”
Fans quickly poured in their condolences to the 48-year-old beauty, with one person commenting, “So sorry for your loss! I have had him as my dentist for over 20+ years. I am so heartbroken to see this post, he will never be forgotten! He is the sweetest, most genuine man, and a great doctor!”
A second person shared, “Oh Shana I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. #Remembering his green jaguar you will drive out of the parking lot of the court. Not sure if he cares or not but we think we are so cool ..Think of you!”
A third netizen, who agreed with Shanna’s sentiments about her parents’ reunion, wrote, “It’s so comforting to know they’re together again.” A fourth fan was just grateful that the model had publicly showered John with love while he was still alive.

Following Shanna’s “Lucky” response, Gail shared that she’s in a “good place right now” mentally and physically and expressed her love for her family, adding “I love you baby.” The show of love was reciprocated by the “Bridalplasty” alum, before the 77-year-old finished:
“I need my girl [.] you mean so much to me you don’t know. I am very proud of you. I’m so proud to be your mama.”
