Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian are marking the 20th anniversary of their father’s death with heartfelt tributes.
Robert Kardashian, a defense attorney who gained worldwide recognition for being apart of the legal defense team of O.J. Simpson in 1995, died from esophageal cancer at age 59 on September 30, 2003.
All four of the Kardashian siblings, which includes Kim and Rob, have all expressed having a close and loving relationship with their dad.
‘I miss you, Daddy. 20 years ago today since I haven’t seen you,’ Kourtney, 44, wrote inside a photo of her father smiling and waving towards the camera.
Khloé, 39, opted for a photo-less post that read, ‘The orbs are my daddy. I miss you.’

While Kim had not posted a public tribute at last check, she did remember her father on what would have been his 79th birthday.
‘It’s almost getting to the point where I’ve had to remember you longer than I’ve known you,’ she wrote in the February 22 post that included a photo and several videos of Robert playing with his four children. ‘It’s been 20 years since we’ve celebrated your birthday here on earth. But I will take it because I had the best dad in the whole wide world and am so lucky I had 22 years with you!’
The mother of four went on to share about she wishes her dad could have met all of his grandchildren: ‘God you would love them so much!’
She also recalled some of the endearing qualities that helped make up her dad, before making a plea to him.
‘I just really miss you and kinda need you right now. Please come to me in a dream soon,’ she shared with obvious emotion to her words.
Four months later, in June, Kim honored her dad Robert and stepfather Caitlyn Jenner on Father’s Day.
‘Best to ever do it! I wouldn’t be me if it weren’t for you two. Thank you. Happy Fathers Day.’
Rob, 36, would also remember his father on his birthday on February 22, by sharing a photo of all four of the Kardashian siblings posing alongside the family patriarch.
‘Happy birthdayyyy,’ he simply wrote, along with blue heart and smiley face-heart emojis.
