Raven-Symoné Announces Death Of Her Father Christopher B. Pearman

Raven-Symoné is mourning the death of her father and former manager, Christopher B. Pearman .

On Tuesday (October 1), Symoné took to social media to announce the death of her father. The former That's So Raven star shared a childhood photo of her and Pearman.

"My life has been long and abundant. And the path I’m on started with a dream. Hope he is watching with a smile on his face… 🕊️#christopherbpearman," Symoné captioned the picture.

Pearman and his wife, Lydia Gaulden , welcomed Symoné on December 10, 1985. Just four years later, the actress started her television career, landing a role on The Cosby Show . Pearman acted as Symoné's manager as she rose to fame during her childhood. The father figure also directed several episodes of That's So Raven .

Symoné went on to manage herself as an adult.

"She got to a point, you know, she said, 'Daddy, I can run my own company. I can run my own thing' a few years ago,” Pearlman told NPR in 2010. “And I'm like, 'You know, you have the tools.'"

Pearman's death comes after Symoné's younger brother, Blaize , died from colon cancer at 31 last December. The nature of Pearman's death remains unclear.
