Family's 'Beautiful' Holiday Lights Display Pays Tribute to Matthew Perry
Matthew Perry
The holiday season has already started, and that means many people are putting up lights and decorations, whether they be simple string lights inside or a full display in the front yard.
In the case of one family, they decided to create a special light display that paid tribute to the late Matthew Perry and his Friends legacy, with fans in love with the meaningful decorations. The display featured a montage video of some of his character Chandler Bing's best moments set to the Friends theme song, "I'll Be There for You" by The Rembrandts. A screen also read, "RIP Matthew Perry."
The homeowners shared the video on Oct. 29 on Instagram, shortly after Perry's death, writing in the caption, "The one where we lose a friend. This one hurts, RIP Matthew Perry ??," but it wasn't until recently that the display started getting a lot of attention.
Fans took to the comments to share appreciation for the light display and notes about their love for Perry.
"Amazing…. Matty you will always be a beautiful memory in my heart?????????????????? ??????," wrote one, as someone else said, "What an incredible tribute! I love it!"
"THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! WELL DONE!! ???????," complimented another, while more notes included, "Could I LOVE this any harder? I think NOT????????," and "????This is so amazing. Thanks for sharing with other Matthew Perry fans. ?? ??."
The Bostick Family Light Show puts up elaborate displays throughout the year, with the family doing a Beetlejuice-themed display around Halloween and a colorful Christmas exhibit heading into December.
Perry passed away at his home in Los Angeles, California, on Oct. 28, at the age of 54. Since his death, co-stars, friends and fans continue to share tributes to the actor, and all five of the other main Friends cast members have since shared meaningful posts on social media honoring Perry and their history with him.
