“We shared a very deep bond in general, but sports was definitely a major component of our family bond,” Reevetold PEOPLE in 2015 when he got a gig at ESPN.

“If it involved a ball or a stick or a racket or a bat or a puck, we were either watching it or playing it or talking about it together.”

Christopher spent quality time with his youngest childthe day before he died. According to family friend Ken Regan, he went to Will’s hockey game as he typically did.

“He tried to go to all of Will’s sporting events,” the photographer told PEOPLE in 2004. They then spent the rest of the day watching baseball back at home.

He’s a correspondent for ABC News andGood Morning America

In May 2023, Will was asked to cover a story about Gert-Jan Oskam — a man who became paralyzed from the waist down after a motorcycle accident in 2011. Thanks to artificial intelligence and researchers in Switzerland, Oskam has since undergone a life-changing surgery that has allowed him to walk again.

“My dad was Christopher Reeve. He suffered a spinal cord injury in 1995. He dedicated the final nine years of his life to fighting for a cure for paralysis,” Will said during asegment onGood Morning America. “For many reasons, I wish he were here today, to see how far the research has come. This breakthrough sounds like science fiction, but it’s real and it holds great promise for a bright future.”

He continued: “If I can be a proud son for a moment, you can draw a straight line from his advocacy to developments like today. He would be the first in line to sign up for this procedure.”
