Jon Bon Jovi’s mother Carol Bongiovi has died at 83, just three days before her birthday.
The rocker, 62, paid a heartbreaking tribute to Carol after she passed away at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, New Jersey, on Tuesday.
“Our mother was a force to be reckoned with, her spirit and can-do attitude shaped this family,” Jon told PEOPLE.
“She will be greatly missed.”
Carol, who was a former Playboy bunny, was the founder of her son’s eponymous band’s fan club.
She enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1959, where she met her future husband, John Bongiovi, Sr.
The couple moved to Sayreville, New Jersey, where they raised their children.
They later settled in Holmdel, New Jersey, where she lived until her death.
Holmdel Funeral Home is in charge of Carol’s funeral, which will be private, PEOPLE reported.
Jon previously talked about his parents’ “incredible support” of him growing up when he wanted to become a singer.
“Even if you truly weren’t any good at your craft, if you believed you were, you could work on it,” he told The Big Issue in November 2020.
“As I got older I realised that was a great gift that I got from my folks.
“They truly believed in the John Kennedy mantra of going to the moon. ‘Yeah, of course you can go to the moon. Just go, Johnny.’ And there I went.”
The musician recalled how his parents would take him to gigs when he was 17.
