Rico Rodriguez, who's best known for playing Manny on hit sitcom Modern Family, has sent out a heartfelt message on his Instagram to pay an emotional tribute to his father a week after his death.
Rico published a photo of him and his dad, Roy Rodriguez, with a caption that reads:
"This has been the toughest week of my life. My Dad was the most kind hearted, loving, hard working, determined, and funny man I have ever known.
"He was like a super hero, he had the ability to get the best out of you day in and day out. I'm gonna miss your hugs. I'm gonna miss your advice. I'm gonna miss your smile, and I'm gonna miss your laugh.
"I know you're looking down at us right now giving us the green light to move forward. I miss you Daddy. I'll love you forever - Your youngest."
Roy passed away last Sunday at the age of 52, and was laid to rest on Saturday (March 18). He leaves behind his wife Diane, and their four children – Ray, Raini, Roy Jr, and Rico.

Rico's sister Raini, who is also an actor, also published a heartfelt message to her dad on Instagram this weekend, calling him "the greatest man" in her life.
"You have officially been gone one week daddy and while it has been really difficult, we are all still standing tall and I know it's because you are sending us strength and guidance all the way from heaven," she wrote.
"My daddy was the greatest man in my life. His work ethic and sense of humor were two of his greatest characteristics, both of which he shared with me. He has taught me so many life lessons and inspired me constantly to follow my dreams.
"I know you will continue to shine down on me, momma, Rico, Ray, Poppi and baby and we will be ok! I promise to make you proud daddy. I will love and miss you forever. - Your one and only baby girl."
