He revealed in the post that his mother, who was from Oregon, sadly died a few days after the photo was taken, but had waited her entire life to vote a woman into the White House.

In another post he wrote that his family is 'intimately involved in the HRC campaign.'
'To everyone who has taken a moment to send condolences on my mom's passing after her vote: My family is intimately involved in the HRC campaign,' he wrote.
'We are spread out over the nation with family and friends. I cannot express how my family is overwhelmed by the responses.
He added that he was overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and kindness he had received after sharing the heartwarming photo of his mother voting for Clinton (pictured on Friday)
'We are utterly shocked that you all have taken time to simply make a condolence. Mom was a 'Roosevelt Dem' as she would say.
'And damn proud of it. You all have eased the broken hearts of a family and given mom the greatest gift of going viral with her simple statement. Thank you all. Onward and upward!'
He shared that his mother did not want a funeral service and that he could not have imagined a better send off for the nonagenarian.
'She (Anita) just wanted us to go eat great Chinese food so when we do we will toast her and HRC,' he told the Post.
The Clinton campaign has yet to comment about the viral Facebook post.
