The 50-year-old actor and comedian took to Instagram on Thursday (February 11) to mourn the heartbreaking death of his father, Tommie Epps Sr.

"Rest in paradise mama thank you for all the lessons and life it's self you fought hard baby... because of you I will never stop fighting in this thing called life," he wrote in the caption of the dedication post for beloved mother.
