Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Thursday that he was declaring Friday “Hulk Hogan Day” across the state in honor of the WWE megastar, who died at the age of 71 on July 24 at his home in Clearwater, Fla.

Friday has been declared Hulk Hogan Day in Florida. As such, Gov. Ron DeSantis has ordered state and U.S. flags to be flown at half-staff to honor the legendary wrestler. Hogan, who was born Terry Gene Bollea, died of a heart attack last week at age 71. Hogan lived in Florida most of his life. His final residence was in Clearwater.

To honor the life and legacy of Tampa Bay’s most famous celebrity, DeSantis has declared Aug. 1 as “Hulk Hogan Day in Florida.”
