It will pull at your heart-strings so hard, you wouldn’t be able to hold back the tears, at all! We all knew this was coming, but still, Riverdale gave the most heartfelt tribute to Luke Perry. There are no words to describe how genuine this episode felt. You better watch it right now, because I’ll be posting spoilers all up in here, my heart needs to vent!

In Loving Memory of Luke Perry (1966-2019)

It was earlier this year on March 4, 2019, that Luke Perry passed on. He died at the age of 52 and lives on in his two children, fiancé, and ex-wife. Who all loved him dearly, along with fellow cast members and crew of Riverdale. He’s not remembered for being a celebrity, but because everyone who has ever had the pleasure of knowing him has not said a single bad thing about him. He is very dearly loved. And it shows in how people remember him:

Thursday August 11, 2016 – Luke and I went in to spend some time with the #Riverdale writers room after our pilot was picked up. We wanted to show them love and appreciation for their hard work. He had such a big heart. We bonded immediately. He became such a dear friend to me… pic.twitter.com/NKBpsd2YG3
