Although he was born in Georgia, Florida was Hulk Hogan’s home throughout most of his life. His family moved there when he was just a kid.
It is no surprise that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the state are honoring him.
“His larger-than-life personality will be missed, as the “Hulkster” was an icon for many who grew up in the 80s and 90s as well as today. He was a true Floridian through and through,” said a statement released by DeSantis’ office today.
“To commemorate his life and legacy, I hereby declare August 1, 2025, as “Hulk Hogan Day” in Florida and direct the flags of the United States and the State of Florida to be flown at half-staff at the State Capitol in Tallahassee, Florida, and at all local and state buildings, installations, and grounds throughout Pinellas County from sunrise to sunset on Friday, August 1, 2025,” the statement declared.
