On January 9, Bob Saget passed away. Saget was in Florida for his comedy tour and he was found dead in his hotel with no signs of trauma. After not being able to reach Saget, his family had reached out to the hotel to check up on him. Security entered the room where the lights were off. The room was in order and none of his stuff had been taken, so it did not show any signs of break-in or robbery. An autopsy is currently in place and can take 10-12 weeks to complete to find out what had happened.

Many people know him from the shows Full House and Fuller House where he played as Danny Tanner. Some other movies and TV shows he was in are How I Met Your Mother, Dirty Work, and Dumb and Dumber

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen went on the Today Show and said Mary-Kate , “Bob was the most loving, compassionate and generous man. We are deeply saddened that he is no longer with us but know that he will continue to be by our side to guide us as gracefully as he always has. We are thinking of his daughters, wife and family and are sending our condolences.”

Dave Sirus has said, “When I was younger and several times throughout our friendship he helped me get through some rough mental health stuff. He stayed on the phone with my mom for hours trying to help in any way he can- connecting us with doctors and new things we can try. He would check in on me and make sure I was okay.”

Saget’s wife, Kelly Rizzo, talked about the last exchange they had shared through text. She had texted him, “I love you dearly.” He responded with, “I love you endlessly.”  Then she texted “I can’t wait to see you tomorrow.” 

Rizzo made a post on Instagram of a picture of the two and captioned it, “After much reflection this week, I’m trying, really trying, to not think I was robbed of time. But instead to think: How lucky was I that I got to be the one to be married to THE MOST INCREDIBLE MAN ON EARTH. I was the one who got to go on this crazy ride with him and be in his life these last six years.”
