As many New Kids on the Block fans know, Donnie Wahlberg and the rest of the group have formed very special bonds with their fanbase and those relationships have spanned decades. Over the years, there have been a few Blockheads who have tragically lost their lives and Wahlberg has often posted about some of them on social media.
For example, in February 2023, Wahlberg posted about a woman named Jenny — a longtime NKOTB fan — who died. “Keep shining that light of yours on us, Jenny. It can only shine brighter from above! Godspeed my dear friend and sister. You will be missed dearly, but honored and celebrated daily,” he captioned an Instagram post, in part.
In March 2022, Wahlberg took some time out to post about another fan, Maria Sakhrani, better known as “Yikes,” who had been diagnosed with cancer. “I love you Yikes! I will keep my promise to ‘remember you forever.’ Honestly, anybody that knows you will never forget you,” he captioned an Instagram post featuring photos of her with the New Kids just before Sakhrani died. One of Sakhrani’s last Instagram posts celebrated that she had raised $3,000 to help those with cancer, and that Wahlberg had matched that amount to make it $6,000. “When you find good people that stay in your life,” she wrote of Wahlberg.
