Marking his second Father’s Day without his dad, Food Network star Guy Fieri shared a heartfelt message that touched many. On June 15, 2025, he posted an emotional tribute to his late father, Jim Fieri, on Instagram. His words quickly resonated with fans, drawing widespread love and support across social media.
A Tribute Full of Gratitude
In his post, the 57-year-old TV host expressed deep gratitude for the blessings in his life — family, friends, health, and exciting adventures. Yet, he credited it all to one person. “I have so much to be thankful for in this life,” he wrote, “but the reason I have these blessings, these opportunities, is because of my DAD (and my mom).”
He shared a touching photo of his parents, Jim and Penelope Fieri, taken during a joyful outing.
Reflecting on Loss and Legacy
Guy openly spoke about his father’s absence. He often finds himself longing to call Jim for advice or a simple chat. Now, he aims to be the same guiding presence for his own children, teaching them respect and the values needed to become great fathers themselves.
