On June 23, Cannon posted a few photos to his Instagram with a touching caption, honoring his late son Zen on what would’ve been his first birthday. He said, “June 23rd will forever be a day of celebration. A beautiful lighting ceremony to honor the life of an Angel. Zen’s birth has now transformed into ‘Zen’s Light.’”

This foundation sounds like a touching tribute to keeping Zen alive and helping those who are in the same situation.
In June 2021, Cannon and Scott welcomed their son Zen to the world. However, they soon realized he had a rare form of brain cancer. On December 5, 2021, Zen passed away. They’ve both been working tirelessly to keep his name — and his spirit — alive, and now his legacy will live on through the children his namesake foundation helps.
