Justin Bieber took to social media to honor the passing of his beloved grandfather, Bruce Dale, in one of his most intimate posts to date. Bruce, the father of Bieber’s mother Pattie Mallette, passed away at the age of 80, and the pop star marked the moment with a tender childhood photo and an emotional tribute that moved millions of fans.
In the picture, a young Justin gently touches his grandfather’s face—an image that perfectly captures their close bond.
“I remember…”
In a caption filled with love, nostalgia, and a dash of humor, Bieber recalled cherished memories:
“Grandpa, I used to take all your money, haha. I remember grandma would give you a $20 weekly allowance, and I’d always convince you to blow it on snacks at the Friday night hockey games. You’d pretend to resist, but always gave in. I also remember you yelling at the refs for their terrible calls—never one to hold back!”
With affection and his signature wit, Justin added:
“I know you're still up there heckling Beatty or Fagon for missing that stick hit in the corner.”
“Can’t wait to see you in heaven”
Bieber closed the post with words that struck a chord:
“Can’t wait to see you again in heaven. Until then, I know you’re watching over me.”
It’s a touching reminder that behind the fame and spotlight, Justin remains a grandson at heart—grateful, grounded, and devoted to the people who helped shape him into who he is today.
