Wade Robson's father, Dennis Robson, died by suicide in 2002. Dennis took his life after Wade's older brother, Shane Robson, moved to Los Angeles (Shane joined Wade, his sister Chantal Robson, and their mother, Joy Robson, who were already living there), per Daily Mail.
In 2018, Wade discussed his father in a blog entry titled "Father Figure," posted on his website, Wade Robson. It gives a glimpse into the dancer's relationship with his father and how he processed his death. "I cried a lot that first night after receiving the news. I cried a lot at his funeral. After that, I didnʻt cry much more about him for the next 10 years," he wrote. In the post, Wade recalled how, after he moved to Los Angeles, he was so focused on his career that he had less time for his father. "Dadʻs mental and emotional health continuously declined. We'd talk on the phone every now and then. Mostly, I remember just trying to get it over with," he wrote. Over the next few years, they would not see each other often.
In 2013, Wade addressed his father's death in his legal documents. "The thought that Plaintiff [Wade Robson] might have been sexually abused by Decedent [Jackson] was a huge source of anxiety and depression for his father," the documents state (via The Sun).
