Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jon Bon Jovi and his family for their tragic loss

Days before her birthday, Jon Bon Jovi’s mother Carol Bongiovi passed away.

She was dubbed a “force to be reckoned with” by the singer.

JON Three days prior to being eighty-three, Bon Jovi’s mother, Carol Bongiovi, passed away.

Jon, 62, spoke empathetically about Carol following her death on Tuesday at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, New Jersey.

Jon told PEOPLE, “Our mother was a force to be reckoned with; her spirit and can-do attitude shaped this family.”

“We will miss her terribly.”

Carol, a former Playboy bunny, founded the fan club for her son’s band.

She met her future husband, John Bongiovi, Sr., after she enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1959.

After relocating, they reared their children in Sayreville, New Jersey.

Following that, they relocated to Holmdel, New Jersey, where she lived until her passing.

It was reported that Holmdel Funeral Home will oversee Carol’s private funeral.

Her three children, Jon, Anthony, and Matthew, as well as her 63-year-old husband, will miss her.

Jon has previously stated that when he was a child and desired to be a musician, his parents provided him with “incredible support.”

In November 2020, he said, “Even if you weren’t good at your craft, you could work on it if you thought you were,” to The Big Issue.

“As I grew older, I realized how wonderful my parents’ gift to me was.

“They genuinely believed John F. Kennedy was directing them to travel to the moon.” “You can go to the moon, of course.” Just go, John. I visited that place.

The performer told about how his parents used to take him to concerts when he was seventeen.

When Jon was seventeen, his parents allowed him to perform at events, which allowed him to pursue his aspirations.

“They were always there for me, which was amazing looking back,” he remarked.

“Because I could have to be at school at eight o’clock and get home at one or two in the morning.”

“They just told me to go to school on time, you know that’s my responsibility, but follow your dreams.”

The girl Jon fell in love with in high school, Dorothea Hurley, is the wife he married.

Together, they are parents to three sons, Jesse, Jake, and Romeo, and a thirty-one-year-old daughter, Stephanie.

Model Jake wed Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown in a tiny, private ceremony in May 2024, according to the first story from The Sun.

The parents of Millie and Jon attended the little wedding.

He expressed his excitement for the wedding to The Sun the week prior.

“My grandchildren will have more English ancestry than Italian or any other heritage I may have” That must be absurd, right? The musician screamed.

“Your kids are married and talking to you about having grandchildren all of a sudden? Wow!” In my book, this is the longest chapter.

For the first time, baby hears his mother’s voice

Back in 2017, a mom named Christy Keane shared what is believed to be one of the most heartwarming and most emotional videos we’ve ever seen, that of her baby girl hearing her voice for the first time ever.

As explained in the caption of the video which has been seen over 111 million times, baby Charly was born profoundly deaf and she had never heard a single sound. So, when she got her hearing aid and was able to learn what her mom’s voice sounds like, Charly started crying tears of joy. Her expression was enough for her parents to understand that she could now feel the world around her as a whole.

We are so glad that this precious moment was caught on tape.

It is so awesome that the advance of technology allows different aids to be produced and used by people with certain impairments and disabilities and to facilitate their lives to the extent they are able to function independently and be valuable members of the society.
