Raven-Symoné Mourns Death of Her Dad Christopher B. Pearman – JP

Raven-Symoné is navigating a difficult loss.

The Disney Channel shared the death of her father Christopher B. Pearman with a heartfelt post on social media.

“My life has been long and abundant,” Raven began her Oct. 1 post, which featured a throwback photo of her as a young child in her dad’s arms. “And the path I’m on started with a dream. Hope he is watching with a smile on his face…”

Raven, the oldest of Christopher and Lydia Gaulden’s two children, finished her caption with a dove emoji and a hashtag of her father’s name.

And though the That’s So Raven star didn’t share any additional details about Christopher’s passing, when a user commented asking if Raven’s caption indicated her father had died, she responded, “Yes maam.”

While Raven didn’t often speak about her dad, in 2015—shortly after she joined The View as a co-host—Christopher shared his support for his daughter in her new professional endeavor.
