In a heartfelt Instagram post, Foreman's family shared their sorrow, stating, "Our hearts are broken." They celebrated his multifaceted life as a devout preacher, loving family man, and humanitarian. “He was deeply respected—a force for good and a protector of his legacy,” the statement continued. Foreman's unique approach to family, exemplified by naming five of his sons after himself, highlighted his close-knit relationships and values: "If one of us goes up, then we all go up together," he often said.

Beyond his achievements in the ring, Foreman became a household name due to the George Foreman Grill, a product that transformed healthy cooking and sold millions since its launch in 1994. His contributions to boxing, his philanthropic efforts, and his entrepreneurial spirit left an indelible mark, and he will be remembered not just as a champion but as an inspirational force in many lives.
