AceShowbiz - Nick Cannon and Alyssa Scott commemorated what would have been the third birthday of their late son, Zen, with a heartfelt celebration. Zen, who tragically passed away at five months old in December 2021 due to brain cancer, remains a source of inspiration for his parents, who aim to turn their pain into a purposeful legacy.

In an emotional Instagram post shared on June 23, the "Masked Singer" host expressed his enduring love and commitment to his late son. "Today is the day we celebrate the life of my little guy Zen Scott Cannon, truly an Angel so every 6/23 is a tough one," Cannon wrote. "But the goal is always to try to turn pain into purpose. I love you Zen. Your light will shine forever my Son. #ZensLight."

Both Cannon and Scott posted photos from the commemorative event organized by their foundation, Zen's Light, which was established in 2022. The organization is dedicated to supporting families facing pediatric healthcare challenges and providing grief-care. The posts featured touching moments, including a family gathered at a memorial for Zen and a room adorned with candles and photos of the little boy.

The couple announced the creation of Zen's Light Foundation on what would have been Zen's first birthday after his passing. In an earlier joint Instagram post, they shared the foundation's mission "to foster global excellence in hope, grief-care, and pediatric healthcare for families and children in need." The goal of the foundation is not only to provide hope and support but also to contribute to research efforts aimed at finding a cure for pediatric cancer.

At the recent memorial event, guests participated in a beautiful lighting ceremony to honor Zen's life and legacy. Cannon expressed his gratitude for the love and support received, "Thank you for all the love and support that everyone sent our way today. Truly appreciate everyone who showed up and celebrated our beautiful Angel. ZEN SCOTT CANNON 6/23."
