This death really hurt. Only the death of Ryan Dunn affected me as much. Both were big pieces of my youth and signified the end of something really special.
I was really disappointed Robin's show was cancelled and didn't get a second season. I really liked it. I had been watching the episodes over the weekend that I still had on my DVR. I couldn't believe it when I heard it on the radio that he had died, then to hear the manner of his death? Really sad.
He was one of my absolute favorites. My dad and I would watch Aladdin all the time. I grew up with his family friendly stuff and then when I was older, my dad and I would watch his stand up and his non family friendly movies. Such a captivating performer and actor.
I can't speak to him as a person. I've only read about him, but honestly, he had kind eyes. He seemed like he would be a really approachable, fun loving guy. I remember saying to my dad that I always wished I was related to him, that he was my crazy uncle or something.
There is no one like Robin Williams. His shoes will remain empty from here on out. It would be impossible to put out a movie about his life, because there is just no one that could play him. There is not a single actor on the planet that could be Robin Williams. That is how awesome, legendary and important this man was to the world. It's too bad that couldn't help him through his despair.
