Florida is set to honor Hulk Hogan.
Last week, Hogan passed away at his home in Clearwater, Florida, after suffering cardiac arrest.
On Thursday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced plans to honor Hogan, who lived most of his adult life in the state, with “Hulk Hogan Day in Florida.
“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.”
In honor of a great Floridian, Hulk Hogan, we are lowering the flags at the capitol and in Pinellas County tomorrow. Additionally, I am officially declaring tomorrow, August 1st, 2025, as “Hulk Hogan Day” in Florida.
Rest in peace, brother. pic.twitter.com/Np5uRZucTa

DeSantis had previously tried to honor Hogan at a press conference but was disrupted by a heckler.
