Chuck Norris Suffers Heartbreak
Chuck Norris was most famous in the 1980s and 1990s. But his larger-than-life personality continues for the next generation. Chuck Norris jokes and memes can be found everywhere online. But his tough-guy image was shattered after a recent heartbreak.
The action star, who owns a ranch in Navasota, Texas, took to social media to share devastating news with fans. His ex-wife passed away this month after a long battle with dementia. She was 84. Chuck Norris was married to Dianne Holechek for 30 years before divorcing in 1989. He remarried Gena O’Kelley in 1998.
Chuck Norris took to social media to share a moving tribute to his late former wife. The two met in high school and married in 1958 when they were still teenagers.
“Dianne was an incredible person. She was kind, intelligent, and lived life to the fullest. Her presence in my life will never be forgotten. She was also a loving and devoted mother to our sons, Mike and Eric, who were always her greatest pride,” he said about his high school sweetheart.
“Even as our lives took different directions, we continued to care deeply for one another, and I will forever cherish the memories we built together,” the movie star added.
Prayers Pour In
The heartfelt tribute to his late ex-wife was a welcome surprise to Chuck Norris’ fans. They took to the comments to share condolences for the loss and praise for the “classy” tribute.
- “This is a beautiful tribute, extremely classy. Some ex-spouses should read this and take notes. This is how you eulogize the person you were partners with for 30 years.”
- “This was an inspiration in such a way that I might start to say nice things about my Sons’ Mother.”
- “Such kind works, if only all divorced people could realize you don’t have to have hatred in your heart for ex’s!”
- “The end of a marriage doesn’t necessarily have to meet the end of a loving friendship. A beautiful tribute to one of the most important people in your life.”
- “We all knew Chuck Norris was a champion of sport but he is also a champion of family and clearly she was his family. Champions lead by example.”
- “If I ever made it to 20% of the man Chuck was I would have lived an extraordinary life. Should be a goal to all of us.”
- “So sorry about Dianne, Mr. Norris. It is a good, sometimes painful, thing when people can go their own ways and still love and care about each other.”

Thank you for sharing your memories sir. I shared my life with my wife & she died driving to work in a car accident one day, 2003. I believe we all have absolutely incredible reasons to do our best every single day. I have two kids from my wife’s first marriage. Both are incredible USA 🇺🇸 citizens. My son Jeremy performs with Disturbed, rock band. My daughter Jennifer works as Employee benefits expert manager job. I am 71 years & healthy now. My father Clyde Earl Shelton was United States Airforce stationed in Alaska, before it was a State. He was working in Utah State after service & was trapped under a vehicle lift 12 hours one day. When found they had an emergency plane take him to Salt Lake city Airforce base hospital. This all happened before I was born in 1954, December 9.
I am a fan of yours. thank you for all you movies & Texas Rangers shows. I expect you to continue working as you live your life. My father was the best man I ever knew. He made sure that I appreciated every single person I met in life. He appreciated all your life’s work.

Sorry for your lost Chuck you’ve been someone i watched growing up. I’m 38 now but disabled. always wanted to learn karate but never been in the cards for me. Lost my mom and father died when I was 12 then when I was 15 my grandmother passed away. Then my aunt passed away when I was 18. Lost alot more before I was 30 and then when I was about 32 my adopted grandparents passed away. I’ve experienced so much loss in my life. The Lord will be with you and guide you thru the hardship
Kenneth,
I am so sorry about the devastating accident that unexpectedly took your wife’s life. I am glad her boys had someone to raise them, but I’m confused about why you seemed to have to state they were US citizens. I don’t care. I hope you are not raising them to admire traitor tRump the pedophile!! My family members fought against fascism and tyranny in WWII!! Now here my generation we (the patriotic ones) are fighting against it again!!
bullshit Trump has done more for the US in a short period than any Democrat in our history he is not a fascist in fact the closest thing to fascism is the democratic party
and your relatives would turn over in their graves to learn that you are the problem with our country
Am sorry for your loss.may God be with you all the time to help your heart mend.You current wife needs you also.sending prayers for you and your family.
