Norris had a near six-decade Hollywood career as a martial artist and star of classic action movies such as Missing in Action, The Delta Force and The Expendables 2. In the 1990s, he starred in more than 200 episodes of the Western TV series Walker, Texas Ranger.

The Hollywood icon was a father of five children — sons Mike and Eric Norris from his first marriage to Dianne Holechek, a daughter named Dina Norris from another relationship in the 1960s, and twins Dakota and Danilee Norris with his second wife, Gena O’Kelley.

His twins Dakota and Danilee posted heartfelt messages in honor of their late father a few hours after his death was announced on Friday.

“Dad, it’s hard to find the right words for this, but I’ll do my best,” Dakota, 24, wrote via Instagram. “You’ve been the man I looked up to my whole life. Your generosity, your kindness, your courage, your integrity, your strength, your discipline, and your faith in the Lord were just a handful of things I always admired about you. You lived your life with purpose and with love for all people.”

Danilee, 24, added via her own Instagram account, “My dad was my protector the moment I was born and as soon as he took me in his arms, I’ve been his little girl. That was something I would always acknowledge even when I was too big to be cradled properly.”

“My dad loved so deeply and cared for every single person in his life with so much tenderness,” she went on. “He may have a warrior exterior, but his heart was so full of love and I’m so grateful that is something he and my mom passed down to me.”

Chuck’s granddaughter Greta Norris — whose father is the actor’s son Mike — remembered his humanity even after spending decades as an action hero.

“If you got the opportunity to meet him you knew he is the most down-to-earth person ever,” Greta wrote via Instagram on Friday. “In a room full of people he would make it known that he was listening to you and only you. He made everyone he met feel like a friend.”

She added, “I am forever grateful and proud that I am his granddaughter. Papa, I love you so much. Thank you for everything. The world truly lost an icon and I lost my grandpa.”
