RIP Robin. I'll miss you. Saw, spoke, drank coffee and ate lunch with you so many times while I lived in the Bay Area. You were a hell of nice guy. I'll be sending flowers and will send my condolences to your kids. I think we will all miss you Mork. Nanoo, nanoo my friend. :sadface::sadface:

I just read the news. :sadface:

Apparently he committed suicide. That was the least thing I expected.
You had to know him. He's had issues with depression for years. I moved away a couple of years ago and lost touch. I had no idea it had gotten so bad recently.

You can be a successful actor and a funny comedian, but you can live a deep dark life that can cost you your very life.

True. It´s often the people you expect it from the least who are depressed or end up committing suicide. He was an intelligent man. I once read there´s actually a relation between depression and high intelligence.

I plan to discuss this soon enough myself on my channel. But this man was one of my inspirations in life.

I'm not a comedian, I'm not a funny entertainer in the slightest. It wasn't his comedy that made him my inspiration. It was his strength.

To those who did not know, Robin Williams suffered from Bipolar Disorder. Manic Depression. I too have this diagnosis, The other version. It's something that scares people, and something highly misunderstood.

People like him made me stronger, made me remind myself that I was not the monster people judged me for when they'd find out I had a "Mental Disorder". That's the stigma I suppose, and it's something I'm sure he, and many others like us have suffered in silence with for a very long time.

I do not know why he chose to let go, perhaps he was intoxicated or the weight we bare was too much for him after all these years, but damn anyone to tell who dares to call this man a weakling or a coward for committing suicide.

This man was and always will be an idol to me and those of us just like him who suffer the pains of the mind that we cannot fully comphrend or understand. If he wanted to be free, I just hope he found the peace he was after, be it God or any other belief he may have had.

He was one of the Silent heroes that many won't understand how he's helped so many, because they did not know him.

May he rest in peace and I will continue to honor him as one of the silent heroes who helped me strive to survive with our Diagnosis and continue to fight to end the stigma that the term "Mental Disorder" is something to be feared.

...You knew him?
Yes. Most of us that worked in entertainment/publishing in San Francisco got to know Robin pretty well. I can't say that I was a close friend, but we attended many of the same events and visited each other's homes a few times. Nice guy (a little weird, but, then again, he was Robin Williams) and his kids are great. Both his ex-wives were really nice sorts too. He was a lot more quiet in real life than you'd suspect. I think he got a lot more sedate after the cocaine years of the '70s and early '80s. Funny though. We all appreciated him. We lived only a few doors away when he lived in San Francisco up near Washington Park back in the '90s. He moved up to Marin county in the early 2000's and we saw a lot less of him after that. The last thing I remember him saying back when I saw him in 2011 was that he was feeling old and that his health problems were really bothering him.

Although I can't say I "expected" it, I can say I'm not surprised by it. There is a reason it's always been said that the most unhappy people in the world are the clowns.

And so it is, it seems with comedians. They make others laugh because they themselves can't.

RIP

Dad told me the news about an hour or so ago. My heart kinda stopped because I grew up with him as a child. (As did most if not all of us)

Apparently he died (at least this is what is assumed to be) of asphyxiation. Dad and I talked about it and yes, he did suffer from major/manic depression, tried to get off the alcohol time and again. He was a happy go lucky guy and couldn't 'turn himself off' and calm down. Always being happy and joking even in serious situations or topics. He was the celebrity goof-ball of Hollywood, even going to other actors and famous peoples houses to cheer them up. One of which was Sharon Osbourne when she had cancer and was undergoing treatment. Always thought laughter was the best medicine and shared it with everyone. Unfortunately, I don't think he had his own 'goof-ball' to cheer him up. People tried to support him but sadly it wasn't enough. Apparently he also may have had financial problems being married 3 times, divorce having a huge impact on financial issues.

When I was told about it I went downstairs and I couldn't believe the headlines on the news. Plastered pretty much everywhere, every channel. It's like the time Steve Irwin passed away. Reportedly his last words were, "I'm dying." And that was the end of it. I cried of course, I was little and Steve Irwin was one of my childhood heroes. Having Robin passing away feels like my childhood got torn asunder. Who's next? Betty White? Clint Eastwood? Many others you wouldn't expect to keel over? Although some people probably were waiting for Robin's clock to wear out. They just didn't know when. So young, too fast. I hope he finds peace as well as his wife and family. Poor Mrs. Williams is devastated.

Fare thee well, The Robster, Mrs. Doubtfire, Mork, Elder Peter Pan, Genie, Creator of Flubber, "Theodore Roosevelt".

We never had a friend like you. R.I.P.

Rest in peace, Robin Williams. You brought smiles and full-on belly laughs to millions, and definitely shed light on an otherwise dark world.
 
When I heard about his passing I honestly didn't believe it. Then I did some more digging and realized that it was in fact true. I'm a 90s kid and so I grew up watching his movies like a lot of us here have, I believe. He was almost like a family member to me and I will be mourning him for a while. He was great guy and great comedian. I hope he makes everyone up in Heaven laugh as hard as he's made me. I'll certainly miss him. RIP Robin. <3

Sometimes those who bring the greatest joy to others have trouble finding it themselves. Rest in peace my good man. Thank you for your entertainment and memories.

Killing yourself isn't an honorable way to die. Even the old orc knows that. But none the less, lets hope they let him in.:beermug:
