Johnny Depp paid tribute to the life of his late “Pirates of the Caribbean” co-star Tamayo Perry.

Perry, a water sports enthusiast and lifeguard with Honolulu Ocean Safety, was killed in a shark attack in June while surfing near Mālaekahana Beach on Oahu’s North Shore. He was 49 years old.

In addition to being a legendary surfer, Perry was also an actor, appearing in Blue Crush, Hawaii Five-0, and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

Depp shared a black-and-white photo of Perry and his wife of 25 years, Emilia, wearing wetsuits and holding surfboards.

“Even though it was a few years ago, I still remember Tamayo well,” wrote Depp. “A lovely man with a big heart and a lot of zest for life.”

Depp included a crowdfunding link with ways to support “Tamayo Perry’s Legacy,” which has raised more than $110,000 of its $200,000 goal since it was launched last month.

“Even though it was a few years ago, I still remember Tamayo well. A lovely man with a big heart and a lot of joy for life.”

“As tragic as his death may be, he left this world doing what he loved, where he loved it,” the website said. “We find strength in knowing he is in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ, trading barrels at Pipeline with his friends who have gone before him.”

In addition, “these funds will be used to support Emilia as she navigates her future without Tamayo, her husband, best friend and provider. We will share Tamayo’s message of love, faith in Jesus Christ and living life to the fullest with those we care about.”

Emilia Perry told “Good Morning America” last month that the “best vacation of my life in 25 years” had come to an abrupt end.

“I’m so upset and devastated, but I also feel a strange peace in my heart knowing he’s in a better place,” she said.

Perry’s deep Christian faith continues to give her strength, even without her husband’s physical condition at her side.
