The San Francisco Giants will honor one of their most loyal fans before Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday night in San Francisco.

The team will pay tribute to Robin Williams, the comedian who committed suicide in August, by having his son, Zak, throw the ceremonial first pitch to Bill Crystal, a close friend of Williams’, before the Giants play the Kansas City Royals. Another of Williams’ children, daughter Zelda, will participate in the pregame ceremony and the team is expected to show a video tribute to Williams as well.

“I lost my father and a best friend and the world got a little grayer. I will carry his heart with me every day,” Zak Williams said in a statement after his father’s death. “I would ask those that loved him to remember him by being as gentle, kind, and generous as he would be. Seek to bring joy to the world as he sought.”

Robin Williams, a San Francisco resident, was a longtime Giants fan and the team observed a moment of silence for him days after his death.
