Bure shared the news of her father-in-law’s death on Instagram on September 4.

“Our hearts are broken as we grieve the loss of Val’s dad Vladimir Bure. I loved this man so very much. To me, he represented not only the gift of life (my husband) that I am forever grateful for, but one of strength, dedication, motivation, willpower and love,” she wrote.

“In my mind, he was the epitome of each of those words, a little bit super human in some way. Vladimir was an 4x Olympic medalist in swimming and a 2x Stanley Cup winning coach for the New Jersey Devils. He was a proud father, grandfather, husband and dedicated coach. Most of all, I know how much he loved his family. Thank you for praying for all of the Bure family as we grieve. We love you Vladimir and you’ll forever be in our hearts,” her post continued.

Vladimir Bure is survived by his two sons, Pavel and Valery Bure, who both played in the NHL, and their families. Candace Cameron Bure is married to Valery Bure.
