“Our hearts are broken as we grieve the loss of Val’s dad Vladimir Bure. I loved this man so very much,” Candace began her lengthy note.

She further penned “To me, he represented not only the gift of life (my husband) that I am forever grateful for, but one of strength, dedication, motivation, resilience, willpower and love.”

“In my mind, he was the epitome of each of those words, a little bit super human in some way,” she continued.

Highlighting Vladimir’s notable accomplishments, the 48-year-old star added, “Vladimir was an 4x Olympic medalist in swimming and a 2x Stanley Cup winning coach for the New Jersey Devils.”
