This is insane. He was so young, and one of the sweetest comics around. Kind and genuine every time you saw him. What a loss.

I know that people lose loved ones, good people, every day. No one gets a pass. But the loss of Bob Saget hits deep. If you didn’t know him, he was kind and dear and cared about people deeply. He was the definition of “a good egg”. Too soon he leaves. #RipBobSaget

Shocked to hear that Bob Saget has passed away. Such an important figure to so many who came of age in the 90s and 00s. I didn’t know Bob well, but he was such a kind and generous person in my interactions with him.

In terrible shock of the horrible news of Bob Saget’s sudden passing. He was a warm, kind, humble man and a magnificently naughty comedian, always treading the line so deftly. He will be greatly missed.

John Stamos, who starred opposite him on Full House also left a tribute. “I am broken. I am gutted,” he said. “I am in complete and utter shock. I will never ever have another friend like him. I love you so much Bobby.”
