Richard Simmons went out in style.
The late fitness starβs brother, Lenny Simmons, revealed that Richard was buried in his workout outfit underneath his regular clothes.
Lenny spoke at Richardβs celebration of life at St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans on Saturday and shared the βlittle secretβ about his brother that βnot too many people know.β
βJust like Clark Kent underneath his beautiful things that he was wearing, his clothing, [Richard] is wearing a tank top and shorts,β Lenny said, according to People.
βWhy, you ask?β he continued. βBecause we think that God has another plan for him, and we want to make sure that he was going to be in his normal costume that we all know and love to help the saints and the angels get into shape.β
Lenny went on, βSo Iβm here to say to you that even though heβs not here and I know heβs in spirit here tonight, Richard Simmons will forever be sweating with the Holies.β
Richard died at age 76 on July 13.
He suffered a fallΒ on July 11, one day before his birthday. Simmons refused to get medical help and his housekeeper, Teresa Reveles Muro, found him dead the morning after he turned 76.
Lenny later confirmed his brother died due to complications from recent falls and heart disease.
RichardβsΒ private funeralΒ was held in Los Angeles on July 19 for his family and closest friends. He was buried at Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park and Mortuary.
βI donβt want people to be sad about my brother,β Lenny said in an interview with People after Richardβs death.
βI want them to remember him for the genuine joy and love he brought to peopleβs lives.Β He truly cared about people.Β He called, wrote and emailed thousands of people throughout his career to offer help,β he added.
Reveles Muro, who was Richardβs housekeeper for 35 years, is currently fighting to be co-trustee of the late starβs estate.
Last month, she filed a legal petition in Los Angeles and claimed Lenny and his wife, Cathy, took advantage of her when she was βat her most vulnerableβ and convinced her to turn down the position of co-trustee in the days afterΒ Richardβs death.
Reveles Muro wants to become a full co-trustee of Richardβs estate with his brother, reportedly claiming sheβs best suited to carry out Richardβs final wishes.Β
After Richardβs funeral, Reveles Muro did an interview with People and said she couldnβt βstop cryingβ and was in disbelief that he died.
βI want to celebrate Richard. He died happy,β she also said.
While also speaking to People, Lenny praised Reveles Muro at the time and called her βextremely loyal and trustworthy.β
