Luke Perry's friends and family set to celebrate actor's life with Hollywood memorial


Luke Perry’s friends and family set to celebrate actor’s life with Hollywood memorial… one month after he died following a stroke

Luke Perry’s Hollywood memorial will take place on April 13.

The 52-year-old actor died suddenly this month after suffering a massive stroke at his Los Angeles home and while a private funeral has already taken place, with his ashes scattered at his beloved Tennessee farm, a large Hollywood memorial is being planned for next month.

TMZ reported that invitations have already been issued to many of the cast and crew of Luke’s acting projects, including ‘Beverly Hills 90210’ and Riverdale for the event, which will take place at the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank.

His death certificate was released a few weeks ago and revealed his passing was ruled as an ‘ischemic cerebrovascular accident’, which is more commonly known as a stroke.

Luke’s fiancee, Wendy Bauer, was listed as his next of kin on the papers, and she recently spoke out for the first time and expressed gratitude for the love and support in the wake of his death. 

‘I want to express my gratitude to everyone for the outpouring of love and support,’ she said. ‘The countless, heartwarming stories of Luke’s generosity and kindness have been a great source of solace during this difficult time.’

The late star’s body was cremated in Dickson, Tennessee and his remains were then taken to Vanleer – a small town around 13 miles away from Dickson – where his ashes were scattered on the estate where he had lived on and off since 1995.

It was recently claimed the Riverdale star’s children, 18-year-old Sophie and 21-year-old Jack – who he had with ex-wife Rachel Sharp – are planning to keep the farm, on which he raised cattle, so they can continue to spend time there in the future.

Perry played angsty Dylan McKay for six seasons and returned as a special guest for the final two seasons of Aaron Spelling’s hit show, Beverly Hills, 90210.

A revival of the show was confirmed last month with Jason Priestley, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling confirmed to return for six episodes ordered by Fox.
