Sad news. The family of Chuck Norris has confirmed his death, Thursday, March 19, with a post to Instagram on Friday, March 20.
KAUAI COUNTY, Hawaii — Legendary actor Chuck Norris has died after he was hospitalized in Hawaii following a reported medical emergency.
His family confirmed on Friday that the 86-year-old icon died Thursday morning.
He had reportedly been hospitalized on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.
“While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace,” his family’s statement said. “We know many of you had heard about his recent hospitalization, and we are truly grateful for the prayers and support you sent his way. As we grieve this loss, we kindly ask for privacy for our family during this time.”
Norris quickly went from an Air Force veteran and martial arts trainer to an American icon. The now world-renowned actor got his start in Hollywood when Bruce Lee invited him to play one of the main villains in the 1972 movie “The Way of the Dragon.” Soon after, he became an international action star, acting in the lead role in numerous movies throughout the 1980s before starring in the long-running hit show “Walker, Texas Ranger.” (read more)

At least he had a good long run. 86 is not a young man.
Careful there!! 😂🤣
Not to take away from the family and their loss…and that of his friends and fans, but…
Clint Eastwood will be 96 in May…
Amazing, right?
Understandable some never get the chance, but a family loved one 200 years would be too early.
Yes!
My dear Mom will turn 98 in September and I am always amazed at how young she is!
Keep your loved ones close!
Rest In Peace,
on the most beautiful island of the most beautiful state.
I will bet Bruce Lee will be one of the early greeters in Heaven Chuck Norris meets, both smiling!
Hopefully…These guys would probably start circling each other, making funny noises but chill…out of respect…
Was Bruce Lee a Believer in Jesus?
🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢✝️✝️✝️
All the good “MEN” are leaving us and all that’s left are soy-boys.
Only in Hollywood. Manhood is back in the Trump administration, in the Department of War and our armed services, in Gen Z, and other places. Thank God.
@Charles Martel’s Ghost, Feminism purposefully destroys good “Men” and the the Soy-Boys are the result of that.
From 70% of all Divorces being initiated by Women, to Single Mothers (by Choice), to Only-Fans “Models”, to Abortion and even Gavin Newsome are all the result of Feminism.
Not hard to believe. Behind every good man stands a good woman.
May God rest his soul and bring peace, understanding, and comfort to his family. 🙏😔
AMEN to that Alleycats
❤️
One of the last heroes.
He was admirable for his fighting spirit of taking on all comers.
Chuck Norris embodied “Right makes might”!
Bruce Lee rematch will be off the chain.
Superman can wear his usual Chuck Norris pajamas in memorial.
An American icon whose belt will be hard to fill.
One of my all time favorites.
RIP with Christ, Mr Norris. You left behind a beautiful legacy.
By the way, did yall know his blood type was AK 47?
Nicely done Lolli…I chuckled at the last line and Chuck Norris would have too!
Thank you.
When he arrived at the hospital, all the morphine was put on a Chuck Norris drip.
Ghosts tell Chuck Norris stories around the campfire.
The boogeyman checks his closet for Chuck Norris
Chuck Norris wore a hat to protect the sun.
Today, I wore one of my Chuck Norris meme shirts in his honor…his face with the words “Guns carry Chuck Norris for protection.” May he RIP but continue round house kicking the **** out of terrorists AND their 72 virgins in the afterlife!
Like with Lee Greenwood (whom I met once), Chuck Norris was a man I – and America – could admire and look up to.
Blessed be his memory.
Icon. RIP Chuck.
Chuck Norris didn’t join the Marine Corps…the Marine Corps applied to him.
Heaven’s streets have always been guarded by Marines. Today, Chuck Norris reported for duty.
We mourn the passing of Chuck Norris, a @usairforce
veteran, who also became an honorary Marine in 2007 when awarded the title by then Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. James T. Conway.
Chuck Norris is one of just over 100 individuals to be awarded the title of Honorary Marine in the entire 250-year history of the Corps.
Some missions may require a battalion, but this one just requires an Honorary Marine.
Well done good and faithful servant.
Ahh….so hard…rest in peace Mr. Norris.
Which one is the body guard?😇
RIP, Mr. Norris, you won’t need to kick your way through those pearly gates. St. Peter is waiting.
Condolences to the family.
“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

O death, you scared me to death.
You ain’t my king though;
Where did your sting go…

RIP, Mr. Norris, you won’t need to kick your way through those pearly gates. St. Peter is waiting.
Condolences to the family.
“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

Saint Peter needed someone really tough to help him man the Pearly Gates.
He was foremost a Patriot, and one of a kind. RIP Chuck
Norris was a Boomer who could bring the Boom all by himself.
RIP Chuck.
Almighty God, Loving Father, please welcome and watch over the soul of Carlos Ray Norris who has transitioned into eternal life in Your Heavenly Kingdom…
Amen.
Loved Chuck Norris !!
Chuck Norris didnt die – he killed life .
All joking aside he was a great American . Feel bad for the family
Rest in eternal peace, Mr. Norris.
RIP Chuck Norris 🙏
There are some deaths that take us by surprise because we really do fully expect that the person will live on forever- this is one of them.
Morgan Freeman is another
Morgan turned on Trump earlier this month whereas he used to be neutral, but, yes, his death will devastate many of us.
May our ALMIGHTY LOVING FATHER wrap HIS ARMS of Comfort around Chuck Norris’ family and bring PEACE to them, in JESUS PRECIOUS NAME, AMEN, AMEN, & AMEN
Always liked Chuck. God bless.
3:24 Norris’ chest hair, ripped off by Lee, has already regrown.
Chuck, thank you.
Chuck Norris was bitten by a poisonous snake
after three long, agonizing days of pain and suffering
the snake died
and
Norris once attended a code pink feminist rally
he left with a freshly ironed shirt, and a sandwich
and
the day Norris was born, he drove his mom home from the hospital
rip to a great man and roll model
Chuck Norris was pulled over by the cops, he let them go with a warning. 🙂
These Chuck Norris jokes have been fun to read! There aren’t many action stars left now.
The fight scene in Way of the Dragon is legendary.
Condolences to the Norris family….he was one of the best.
Chuck Norris and his wife were dog lovers.
May he R.I.P.
here ya go:
Vaya con Dios Chuck…
Of all the martial arts actors, Chuck was the real deal. He was a world champion fighter before he got into movies. Unlike a lot of those genre of actors, he really could kick your ass.
He was also a conservative and most importantly, a Christian. RIP Mr. Norris.
They had to get a stunt man for him once, it was for a crying scene. 😉
😀 👍
Well,the grim reaper won today,that said,feel there is a sickle up his ass and the reaper will have a fill in reaper for the next month or two!
RIP Mr Norris
Don’t know about other services but in the Army many of us kept handy the phrase, “What would Chuck Norris do?”
Requiescat in Pace. In our memory always.
in Walker did he ever carry? open or concealed
Yes, he did.
I have to say he had a lot of life in his years. A very admirable man. Six time middle weight champ!
Godspeed, Mr. Norris. Rest in peace.
Rest in peace Mr Norris Jesus Christ welcomes you. A race completed well welcome to Heaven.
As a freshman at a private school in SoCal, year 1968, a young martial arts champion visited our school to demonstrate to us youngins’ a few defensive moves. At the time I had no idea who he was but was awed at his skill and SPEED. He demonstrated how to avoid/deflect punches, some moves on handling a knife attack. The one piece of advice that I vividly remember after all these years, was when faced with a firearm the best defensive move was…..hands up. He was very nice, answered every question we put to him. That young champions name…MISTER Chuck Norris.
R.I.P.
A good friend of mine’s wife worked at a photo lab years ago. That lab was working with a studio that was filming a Chuck Norris movie. The producer invited the employees of the photo lab to a dinner with Chuck and his family.
She said Chuck was very soft spoken and polite, and didn’t care a wit about fashion.
Oh the toxic masculinity !
Chuck Norris was a great man in every respect. God bless his family. RIP Chuck
Chuck Norris built the hospital in which he was born. RIP.
When Alexander Bell invented the telephone, he found he had already missed 2 calls from Chuck Norris.
Another good man gone 🙏🏻
Somehow I believe Mr Norris would approve of all the fond memes we are seeing on his passing.
A loss in this world where masculinity has been so debased by feminists and liberals.
Requiescat in pace 🙏🏻
him and trivet.. loved this. im fortunate enough to have studied martial arts with the same master he started with. sure enough the master showed a very early pic of chuck. yes true. what an inspiration..rip Chuck.
I saw a small video after I posted this wherein he was taking great delight in all the funny posts and memes of which he was the star. You’re so right…so good to know 💔
God finally promoted Chuck to 11th degree black belt.
Chuck Norris didn’t die, he invaded Heaven!
Vaya con dios !
Chuck Norris didn’t die. He leveled up. Now he has the Angels in training. The Bad Guys had better watch out. RIP to a great American Hero and Legend.
RIP Chuck was a good man.
A new hero must rise.
But seriously. 10 days ago, he himself posted that he doesn’t age, he levels up. The man had maxed out with something like 8 blackbelts in different major disciplines. Where do you go from there? How do you level up from there? Ask Chuck. He was an Air Force vet, an honorary Marine, an honorary Texas Ranger, and at the top of all that, a Republican. Where do you go from there? You level up. Chuck didn’t die, his XP odometer rolled over.
Why is it that Carl Douglas’ “Kung Fu Fighting” keeps echoing in my ears?
Chuck, Carradine, and Bruce Lee were each entertaining in their own ways.
Sadly Jackie Chan is in the claws ot the CCP dragon. His athletic buffoonery gave me many a laugh.
Chuck Norris didn’t die. He conquered life and decided to go on to the next mission.
Chuck Norris went to Hell, beat the sh&t out of Satan, then returned to Heaven and started giving the Angels karate lessons. 🤡
Chuck Norris isn’t dead, he’s playing possum, waiting …
