Denise Richards’ daughter, Lola Sheen, is paying tribute to family friend Patrick Muldoon after the actor’s death at age 57.

Lola, one of Richards’ daughters with ex-husband Charlie Sheen, shared in her Monday, April 20, Instagram post that she “begged” her mom to get back together with Muldoon. Richards, 55, and Muldoon briefly dated in the 1990s but remained close friends throughout Muldoon’s life.

“I thought you were the one that was supposed [to] be in our lives forever. When I think of my childhood, I think of you, Pat, and it’s gonna be so weird to go on without you in our lives,” Lola, 20, wrote alongside a throwback photo of Richards and Muldoon. “You were such a huge part of our family and life will never feel the same, but that’s just because of how much you impacted us.”

“Thank you for showing everyone around you how to be alive,” Lola continued. “You were the definition of what it means to have fun. I’ll never forget when we were on that trip with my mom and you wouldn’t stop singing that lola song to me and made me laugh so hard. And you know that song will always make me think of you.”

“Thank you for being the best friend to her. Thank you for being the one to make her laugh and forget about all she’s going through. That was a gift you had,” Lola said of her mom’s friendship with her Starship Troopers costar. “The bond you two had was something so special that no one can touch. When I think of my mom, I think of you. You guys came as a package, and I’m so thankful I got to know you and witness a friendship so pure and special in front of my eyes.”

“I always begged my mom, I’m sure she told you, that you guys would end up back together, haha, but I guess staying best friends was better anyways ♥️,” Lola added. “You really were a rock star, Pat, and forever will be. Have fun up there … I know you will. Love you.”

Muldoon died on Sunday, April 19, following a heart attack. He and Richards first appeared on screen together in 1997’s Starship Troopers. They reunited in various holiday-themed TV movies, including A Christmas Reunion (2015) and My Adventures With Santa (2019).
