“Dad, if I had one more chance to have you here with me today, I would do things differently,” Burke wrote alongside the image. “Every day I would tell you how much I love you. I miss you so much already.”
The pro added, “Rest In Peace Stephen Louis Burke April 13, 1950 – March 9, 2018.”
Burke’s fans left plenty of supportive comments, as well as some of the dancer’s famous friends.
“Sending you all my love Sugar Plum,” Kym Herjavec wrote, while Catherine Lowe added, “I’m so sorry Cheryl :(.”
Days prior to the post, Burke had explained that she would be taking a break from social media.
“I’m dealing with some personal things right now and need to take a break from social media,” she wrote on Instagram. “Thanks for your understanding and remember to tell the people who are important to you just how much you love them each and everyday. Xoxo Cheryl.”
