He brought millions of smiles to the planet.

It is confusing on how somebody that was so well liked and had such a successful career ends his life suffering from depression. RIP Robin, you will be missed.

He joins a long list of comedians that were depressed and even committed suicide.

I went through depression back in 2007. Very scary time. Amazing how many people suffer from it. I had no idea it was so common.

[Canon Guy]

This is just so said. He was an extraordinary talent.

[JeremyCampbell]

Wife just told me.Sad stuff.He made alot of people laugh.Mind blowing news.

As far as his roles in movies go, the one that really sticks out is Popeye.I can watch that a hundred more times.He was unique among the rest of the comics.He will be very missed.

It is really hard when the people that help us get through life end this way?

[BuckSutherland]

WTH?? Pretty soon there will be nobody left that I like.

His "Golf" stand up routine is my favorite. Too much colorful language to post here though. Definitely worth the watch.

Sometimes the funniest people who are smiling all the time are the saddest inside. Sad deal he was awesome.

A funny story when I met him in the mid-90's. I was living in Breckenridge CO, sipping a few cocktails after a day of skiing with a few friends at a bar called "Downstairs at Eric's". We were sitting at the bar and he sat right next to us. My friend asked the bartender for a napkin and a pen to get his autograph, when she slid it over to him he promptly blew his nose in the napkin and said "Thank you"... After a odd silence he cracked up laughing and continued to have drinks with us for the next hour or so.

Depression/Manic Depression is no joke...

Add in addiction and it can be a life long game of chicken. Does the OD get you, or the shadow that follows you all the time? It's a constant attempt to keep from getting hit by one of those big trucks barreling down the road at you.

Sounds like it was the demon's this time.... Very sad

Rest in peace

Back when I was suffering from very very bad chronic migraines I went through a battle with depression and I will tel you it SUCKS! Once you get down that far its hard to get back up with out people around you to help you and good doctors. Luckily for me once I got my head aches under control the depression slowly left and Im doing great. No meds etc.

RIP Robin Williams I will miss your energy and humor very much. Very Very sad to hear!

That is hilarious!

Kind of interesting how every once in a while we lose someone who whether we actually knew them or had ever even met them for that matter creates such a widespread sadness to such a large group of human beings. Sure we lose relatives and loved ones and people close to us who may have played a role in a lot of peoples lives but every once in a while there is someone who affects the masses. For me personally i think of the impact losing Dale Earnhart made and still makes today to so many people. This week with the passing of Robin Williams the world lost another great human being who will undoubtedly remain in peoples minds for generations....

Listened to the Jay Thomas show yesterday. The whole show was about Robin Williams. It certainly wasn't your traditional tribute, but very humorous nonetheless. Comics George Wallace and Bobby Slayton called in and told some funny stories about when they were all coming up together in the 70's. A lot of the stories Jay told about Williams behind the scenes lifestyle really paint a picture of the demons he must've been facing. Very sad situation.

I hope he's mellow now.

Had to watch a couple episodes of Mork and Mindy on YouTube when I found out

Rip Robin Williams

....supposedly his wife released info today that he had early onset dementia. No one else walked in his shoes, can only imagine how bad all those demons were for him. Onecould easily understand he thought he had enough.
