'I got to give him a hug': Carter Thicke, 19, has spoken of his final moments with his late father Alan Thicke who died December 13 after playing ice hockey with his youngest son

Carter was Alan's son with his third wife Gina Tolleson. 

His two older half-brothers singer Robin, 39, and  Brennan, 41, were from the Canadian actor's first marriage to soap actress Gloria Loring. 

'He was like the perfect dad,' Carter said of the late star.

Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that Alan had chosen his brother Todd Thicke to act as executor of his will and take care of Carter in the event of his death.

Carter was a minor when the decision was made in 2007, according to TMZ . 

The Canadian entertainer established a guardianship for Carter at the time of he drafted the will, as the boy was 10-years-old.

Thicke, in his will, granted sole custody to Carter's mother Gina Tolleson - his spouse from 1994 until 1999. 

Should Tolleson have died before Alan, then he requested his brother Todd, a Hollywood producer, act as guardian.

The latest developments come on the heels of a Los Angeles Superior Court judge requiring Robin be monitored during visits with his 6-year-old son Julian Fuego, amid a contentious custody battle with Patton.
