Singer and actor Donnie Wahlberg is well recognised for his portrayal of Danny Reagan on CBS’ hit procedural drama, Blue Bloods. During a game of golf, the star took some time to pay tribute to his friend with a touching Instagram post. 

Since 2010, Donnie has starred in Blue Bloods where he plays a headstrong detective for the New York City police department. 

The drama has followed his professional career and his personal life as the son of Frank Reagan (played by Tom Selleck), New York’s police commissioner. 

Thankfully for fans, Blue Bloods returned to screens earlier this month with its highly anticipated season 13. 

With new episodes on CBS, Donnie took a step away to enjoy a leisurely game of golf, when he remembered his late friend. 

The actor posted a touching tribute on Instagram with a video of himself on the golf course.

The video played the inspiring voice-over from Rocky III where Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) tries to motivate Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone). 

As the clip played, it was accompanied by a message which read: “The last day I ever spent with my beloved friend Michael, was this very place. 

“I honour him each time I’m back and every day of my life, by cherishing this very moment.”

Alongside the video, Donnie posted a heartfelt caption which stated: “My dear friend Michael Hoey used to say — ‘don’t make your initials ‘DW’ stand for Day Waster’. 

“I try to live by those words. Tomorrow is not promised, so promise to make today all that you can. 

“Waste no moments and cherish every single one that you are blessed with.”

Fans were touched by the tribute and took to his comments to share kind thoughts and messages of support for the actor.
