A press release from the Florida Governor website reads:
On Thursday, July 24, 2025, Florida resident and legendary professional wrestler Terry Bollea, better known as Hulk Hogan, passed away. Hogan was born in Augusta, Georgia, but moved to Tampa at a young age. He began his wrestling career in 1977 and rose to fame after joining World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Hogan was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame twice, first in 2005 and again in 2020 as a member of the New World Order. His larger-than-life personality will be missed, as the “Hulkster” was an icon for many who grew up in the 80s and 90s as well as today. He was a true Floridian through and through.
To commemorate his life and legacy, I hereby declare August 1, 2025, as “Hulk Hogan Day in Florida,” and direct the flags of the United States and the State of Florida to be flown at half-staff at the State Capitol in Tallahassee, Florida, and at all local and state buildings, installations, and grounds throughout Pinellas County from sunrise to sunset on Friday, August 1, 2025.
Hulk Hogan passed away of a heart attack in Florida on July 24th.
Though he was born in August, GA, he relocated to Tampa in his youth and was a proud Floridian.
CBS News has more:
Gov. Ron DeSantis has ordered Florida and U.S. flags to be flown at half-staff on Aug. 1 in honor of professional wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, who died at age 71 on July 24 of a heart attack at his home in Clearwater, in the Tampa Bay area.
Hogan, born Terry Bollea, was a longtime Florida resident and a cultural icon whose outsized persona made him a household name, despite a career later marred by controversy.
“His larger-than-life personality will be missed,” DeSantis wrote in a statement, adding that Hogan “was an icon for many who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s as well as today. He was a true Floridian through and through.”
RIP Hulk Hogan.
You were a legend who will continue to be remembered forever.
