“Modern Family” star Rico Rodriguez is mourning the loss of his father.

The 18-year-old, who plays ‘Manny’ on the hit comedy, posted a photo of him and his dad, Roy Rodriguez, Sunday with a heartfelt caption.

According to reports, Roy passed away suddenly last Sunday at 52.  He is survived by his wife Diane, and his 4 children.

This has been the toughest week of my life. My Dad was the most kind hearted, loving, hard working, determined, and funny man I have ever known. He was like a super hero, he had the ability to get the best out of you day in and day out. I’m gonna miss your hugs. I’m gonna miss your advice. I’m gonna miss your smile, and I’m gonna miss your laugh. I know you’re looking down at us right now giving us the green light to move forward. I miss you Daddy. I’ll love you forever – Your youngest
