Less than a yearafterIrv Gottipassed away, his daughterAngie Pearson got married! As a sweet gesture, his sons, Sonny and JJ (Jonathan) Gotti, stepped up to walk their sister down the aisle. On a separate note, Angie (last name now Jackson) also reportedly took steps to incorporate her dad into her wedding day.
Earlier this week, video footage from Angie Gotti’s wedding surfaced online. One clip reposted by The Shade Room shows the attendees loudly clapping as JJ and Sonny positioned themselves next to Angie at the end of the aisle. The siblings paused for a moment while the room lit up with joy. Angie Gotti appeared emotional and teary-eyed as they walked down the aisle. She was holding a bouquet of white flowers in her hands. A close-up photo shows flowers held together by a white cloth adorned with personalized jewelry, and it features a throwback photo of Ang and Irv Gotti.
Aside from her sweet bouquet charm, Angie Pearson involved Gotti in her wedding bliss. On Sunday, August 3, she uploaded several photos of the bouquet charm, her mother Debbie Lorenzo, and her brothers JJ and Sonny. In her caption, Angie admitted to missing her dad, and opened up about her “beautiful day” and how much he would’ve loved it. She also shared that he was at her wedding in spirit with an audio of a speech he had previously given at her engagement party.
“I Miss You Dad! Yesterday Was Such A Beautiful Day And I Know You Wouldve Had The Time Of Your Life! You Were So Excited For This Day Like We Talked About. I Know You Were There in Spirit. Im So Happy I Was Able To Share Audio From The Amazing Speech You Gave At Brian An I Engagement! Ill Cherish It Forever! The Boys And I Miss You Everyday, But I Gotta Say The Boys Held It Down For You And Are Truly The Greatest Siblings Youve Blessed Me With! We Love You And Miss You”
Following Irv Gotti’s death, Angie, Sonny, and JJ issued a collective statement, which they shared via their father’s Instagram account.
“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved father, Irving Irv Gotti Lorenzo, on February 5, 2025. Surrounded by family and friends, he departed this world, leaving behind a legacy that will forever resonate in the hearts of those who knew him and the countless lives he touched. Our dad was an incredible man, a true visionary who transformed the hip-hop industry and changed the game for artists and fans alike. His passion for music and dedication to his craft inspired many, and his contributions will continue to influence future generations.”
At the time, Gotti’s kids didn’t reveal his cause of death. That information came from his brother, Chris Lorenzo, in late February. While speaking on a podcast, Chris revealed that his brother suffered a hemorrhagic stroke after eating American Chinese food and playing poker with friends the night before his death.
