Real Housewives of Beverly Hills personality Denise Richards paid homage to her best friend, Patrick Muldoon, after his unexpected and untimely death at age 57.
The actress who starred opposite Patrick in Starship Troopers took to Instagram to share her emotional state.
Farewell, Patrick:
“This is so hard for me to put into words,” began Denise. “I am deeply heartbroken and devastated losing you. You were my best friend and my family.”
“We met in our first acting class. I was 19, never had an acting job. You were 21, a student at USC doing a recurring role on Who’s the Boss.”
“And here we are. 36 years later. My whole adult life & I don’t know it without you. The friendship, love, support, respect, and loyalty we had was unconditional and rare. You lit up every room you walked into. You are larger than life, and everyone was drawn to you.”
Denise described Patrick as “So talented, the most underrated actor, and the most humble.”
“Everything you did was infectious. Your laugh, your kindness, your wit, your strength, your loyalty, your passion, and your zest for life. Our memories together are endless.”
“We’ve been each other’s rock. You’ve had my back and protected me more than anyone. I don’t know what I’m going to do without you here.”
“You’re my voice of reason and pillar of strength, especially during this last year of pain and heartache,” seemingly in reference to her split from her abusive ex, Aaron Phypers.
“And now, I need you more than ever, for this pain and heartache of losing you. Schweetbabe, we’ve had those conversations. We thought we’d live forever or at least into our 90’s. Schweetbabe, I will be looking for those signs. I need to know you’re still here with me. I love you so much and miss you dearly, schweetbabe. 💔🙏🪽”
