John Stamos Reflects on the Tragic Death of Bob Saget

Bob Saget’s sudden passing shocked us all. Here are some loving words from his friend John Stamos.

Bob Saget

Many of us remember Bob Saget best for his roll of Danny Tanner on Disney-owned ABC’s hit show Full House. In many ways, he was America’s Dad, keeping house, raising children, and teaching weekly life lessons on tv screens across the country.

He could also be found on the network hosting America’s Funniest Home Videos, bringing laughter and dad jokes to us all. You might have even caught a glimpse of him on Mickey Mouse Club House.

A Tragic Death

Yesterday, on January 9, 2022, the sudden news of the beloved actor’s death shocked us all. Unfortunately, he was discovered dead in Orlando.

The actor was only 65 years old. As it stands, there are no public details surrounding a definitive cause of of his untimely death.

A Friend’s Words

Colleague and friend John Stamos, star of the Disney+ Series Big Shot, reacted to his death with a touching public comment. The actors worked together for many years on Full House.

Stamos played Jesse Katsopolis or “Uncle Jesse.” The character was Danny Tanner’s brother-in-law and uncle to his children. He was also an aspiring rock star and a bit of a foil to the more traditional American dad portrayed by Saget.

Not only were the two actors co-stars, but they became good friends as well. Now Stamos is mourning his friend with the rest of us.

He posted a heart wrenching Tweet on his social media account. “I am broken. I am gutted. I am in complete and utter shock. I will never ever have another friend like him. I love you so much Bobby.”

I am broken. I am gutted.  I am in complete and utter shock.  I will never ever have another friend like him.  I love you so much Bobby.

It makes me weep.

Are you okay, dear readers? It’s okay not to be okay, even when you only knew someone from television.
