'Today' Contributor Bobbie Thomas Mourns Death of Husband Michael Marion at 42

Bobbie Thomas has announced the heartbreaking passing of her husband Michael Marion.

The 46-year-old Today contributor took to Instagram on Sunday (December 6) to reveal that her lawyer husband died at the young age of 42.

“Nothing is normal. Maybe nothing will ever be normal again. For me, it won’t. My husband is gone. 💔” Bobbie wrote along with several photos in the hospital with Michael.

According to his obituary, Michael died on Tuesday, December 1 after a “heroic struggle.” Bobbie had previously revealed that Michael suffered an ischemic stroke in April 2019.

“With all the fear, anger, and division going on in the world right now, it’s so easy to get upset about the lack of normalcy. But I beg you, everyone reading this, hold onto what you do have right now instead of focusing on what you don’t. One thing we all have is kindness,” Bobbie continued. “Absorb it, extend it, exhaust it. Because in the end, the ONLY thing that matters is love. If you’re lucky enough to have it, please appreciate it, every moment, every day. Especially during the hard parts.”

Bobbie and Michael married in May 2013, and share 5-year-old son Miles.

“There will never be enough time and some of our forevers are much too short,” Bobbie concluded. “As I type through tears, I embrace gratitude … holding our precious son Miles and memories, of the time I did have with Michael, closer to my broken heart. Thank you all for the love and support you’ve shown us and our families. Please go hug the people you love.”

Our thoughts are with Bobbie during this difficult time.
