Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Thursday that he was declaring Friday “Hulk Hogan Day” across the state in honor of the WWE megastar, who died at the age of 71 on July 24 at his home in Clearwater, Fla.

Flags in the Sunshine State will be at half staff in honor of "legendary professional wrestler Terry Bollea, better known as Hulk Hogan."

It was meant to be a busy summer for Hulk Hogan, with a fast-growing beer company and new wrestling league to promote. Health issues, meanwhile, were plaguing Terry Bollea, the aging Tampa Bay resident who portrayed the globally-known icon.
