Gary Coleman passed away today at the age 42 after suffering a brain hemorrhage two days ago from a fall at his house according to People. The hospital released this statement, “Family members and close friends were at his side when life support was terminated. Family members express their appreciation and gratitude for the support and prayers that have been expressed for Gary and for them.” No word who exactly was at his side, but I am assuming his wife, Shannon Price of almost 3 years was with him.
Although it seemed like he had the future in his hands when he was on Diff’rent Strokes, as he got older he had a lot of issues and run-ins with the law. Let’s not remember him for those, but remember him as that cute chubby cheeked actor who would said “What’choo talkin’ ’bout, Willis?” and won our hearts.
Back when I was kid I had a huge crush on him, so his death is hitting me hard. Hopefully now he is finding happiness and standing 7′ tall in heaven!
