Pete Davidson‘s father, a New York City firefighter, died in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks when theSaturday Night Livestar was just 7 years old. On the anniversary of his dad Scott’s death, Davidson often posts on social media to honor him.
Since his Twitter and Instagram purge earlier this year, Davidson, 24, hasn’t said anything publicly about losing his father 17 years ago. But for the 15-year mark, he shared two photos with his dad.
In the first, his dad sips Heineken beer, and Davidson captioned it: “Can’t believe tomorrow is going to be 15 years. Missing the legend !!! Thank u all for ur kind words and support as always #werememberthem.”
In the second, his father pours a beer next to black boots. The comedian wrote: “One of my dads homies gave me his old dirty a– boots from work and a sick photo of him lookin like a young legend !!! Apparently my dad wore sketchers how f—in embarrassing!” he wrote in the post.
