When I see that his last tweet was a happy birthday wish for his daughter, and that his last instagram photo was of him holding her as a child...I can't help but wonder how someone so loving and so well loved could do this without even leaving a note. I hope they find one, but it wasn't part of the sherrif's office's report..

Man, this guy was such a huge part of so many peoples lives growing up. Whether it was his voice work, acting, or stand-up, he was always a riot. One of my friends spent the day with him through the Make a Wish foundation. They spent the day making short video's and joking around. He really appeared to be having a genuinely great time. Even after my friend passed away Robin kept in touch with my buddies family. Really good guy. Going to miss him.

This sucks.
Robin Williams was an awesome guy.
17 years ago, my Dad's dad killed my grandma and then himself in a drunken rage. We held a massive service at the church my dad's mom attended in San Francisco. It was obviously a hard night for my dad. My parents stayed late in the city to clean things up and spend time with family. It was about 2:30 AM when we finally started making our way home, but before leaving the city, my dad wanted to stop and get a doughnut at some random doughnut shop we passed by. We all went inside, and lo and behold, Mr. Robin Williams was there, sitting in a booth eating a couple doughnuts and drinking some coffee. He noticed our well dressed, solemn looking crew walk in, and pretty quickly after we sat down to eat the delicious treats, he came walking over. Now, I admit fully that I do not remember what he said to us, but I do remember what he looked like and I remember him Introducing himself as Robin (Which is my aunts name, I think thats why it caught my attention). He ended up joining my family at our table and (as my Dad always said) he just started making pleasant conversation, which quickly turned in to him making my parents smile, and soon after he had us all laughing. I couldn't tell you what they laughed about, but I remember seeing my parents laugh and smile for the first time in weeks. My dad remembered that so fondly. He always said it was exactly what he had needed in that time, and that he appreciated the way Robin Williams went about it. It wasn't that he was a celebrity, he was just being a nice guy who saw a bunch of sad folks and realized he could probably make a difference. And he did. I loved hearing my dad tell that story because you could tell that moment meant a lot to him. I'm sad he felt the need to go.

Holy shit. This is kind of unbelievable :( He was obviously a very funny guy, but I personally really loved his dramatic performances, especially in Good Will Hunting.

It's so surreal when someone who is so full of energy dies. He lit up a room in a way that very few people can. But you could tell in his interview with Marc Maron that he had a very dark side.
 
It's the celebrities I don't anticipate that hurt the most. It's hurts even more going through the an awful depression and to lose an icon like that. It's hard to explain his importance, it feels impossible to form a thought.

Madame Misery come and visit me, I'm on the the 99th floor of tragedy.
 
I loved him in a myriad of roles (and outside of movies at well), but he'll always have a special place in my heart as this brave knight.

Tragically, he couldn't beat his red knight. RIP
 
RIP, Robin Williams.

You've done a lot of incredible work (and you shine even in the less remarkable stuff) and I thank you for the entertainment you've provided to me.

May you find peace, wherever you are.

Depression is apparently a very common thing among comedians and "funny people". I've seen the association for as long as I've followed comedy. There are people who are very vocal about it.

That's a defense mechanism. I was like that through my childhood and teens years and I still kind of do this. Been diagnosed with depression my whole life.
 
It's so sad to see someone like him go. He really deserves more recognition for the work he's done over the years. I'll miss you Genie.
 
This shit is really starting to sink in.. This guy seemed like true LIFE incarnate. Happiness etc.. Jeez what incredible charisma.
 
Don't blame me; I watched his CBS show (the name of which shall go unmentioned, for obvious reasons)!


...Sad to hear this one.
 
I met Robin at e3 several years ago. He is a big fps gamer. Funny and kind and generous with his time.

He's done a lot to support games. The guy was a genius too.

We'll never see one of his kind again.
 
Don't remember the show, but I do remember when he announced naming Zelda on a morning show. Fuck time fly's by.... So sad he was so depressed.
 
We are at the point of our lives when the stars of our childhoods start getting very old and dying.

RIP, one of my favorite actors.

Honest to god I just watched this last night and as a result was like... yeah I'm gonna watch good will hunting tomorrow. I don't know if I can now :( this is so sad :(. God that video of him and zelda isn't helping. Fuck this man I hate when this shit happens.
 
Holy Shit.

RIP Robin Williams.

Very sad that this could have been a possible suicide. Many of his words are an inspiration to everyone, including me.
 
Noooooooooooooooooo :(

My Dad just told me this on the phone.

Robbin Williams was in so many of my favorite movies as a kid.

You will be missed!
