Raven-Symoné revealed that her father, Christopher B. Pearman, has passed away.

Symone shared the news with fans via Instagram. “My life has been long and abundant. And the path I’m on started with a dream. Hope he is watching with a smile on his face…#christopherbpearman.”

“Are you saying your day passed away???? Him and I are friends on fb and we are very close and I need to know for real???????????” questioned a fan. “Yes ma’am” Raven clarified.

Pearman played a vital role in the success of Raven. Pearman managed Raven’s career and even directed a few episodes of That’s So Raven in the early 2000s.

He eventually stopped being Raven’s manager to let her “be able to take the reins.” In a previous interview he expressed, “I’ve been managing that girl’s career since she was six months old. It’s just like you having a child and saying, you know, I’m ready to go to college and do my own thing and move out of the house. You know, it’s like okay, go ahead.”

Raven-Symoné’s brother passes away

Pearman’s passing comes nearly a year after his son, Blaize, passed away. Blaize lost his battle with colon cancer.

Raven paid tribute to her brother on his 32nd birthday. “I love, miss, and will always be Reva to my lil brother. So many words to describe you, so many moments to remember you by, so many lives you’ve touched, and so many random things you’ve eaten.”

She continued: “Life is short, and shorter if you don’t take care of your health. Get screened, tested, regularly doctor visits, don’t ingest poison disguised as food, exercise, and take care of your mental health. “Too many young people are leaving this planet because of cancer, tumors, sickness. Keep track of your sugars, know what’s happening with the body. It’s your one time in this vessel don’t waste it.”

May they both rest peacefully.
