John Stamos Shares Gut-Wrenching Tribute To Bob Saget
The news was hard to believe. Bob Saget died at the age of 65 on Sunday, as first reported by TMZ. At time of writing, a cause of death was unknown (via People). Fans were immediately reeling on Twitter, with celebrities reacting with disbelief over the comedian's passing. Fellow comic Marc Maron tweeted, "Oh no. RIP Bob Saget. Truly one of the nicest guys and so funny. Very sad." Jason Alexander tweeted, "I know that people lose loved ones, good people, every day. No one gets a pass. But the loss of Bob Saget hits deep. If you didn't know him, he was kind and dear and cared about people deeply. He was the definition of 'a good egg.' Too soon he leaves. #RipBobSaget."
Of course, the star's "Full House" co-stars are likely deeply impacted by his tragic loss. One person who immediately shared raw feelings about Saget's death was his on-screen brother-in-law, John Stamos (via The Hollywood Reporter). The actor took to social media soon after the news broke that Danny Tanner's alter ego died and his words will bring you to tears.
"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," Stamos tweeted. Fans and celebrity friends soon filed into the comments to share their support for the devastated actor.
John Stamos and Bob Saget were real-life friends

After he shared his gutwrenching tweet, the heartfelt sentiment quickly gained thousands of likes and retweets, with supporters expressing sorrow for the loss.
Just this past August, Saget shared just how close the two stars were, posting a birthday tribute to Stamos via Instagram. "To say we are like brothers is an understatement," Saget wrote. "We have been through so much together for 35 years. High, lows- The usual you go through with your closest of people in your life. But what I have to say here, is how damned lucky I am to have John in my life. He has always been there for me. Even when I could be unbearable' (via Today).
Meanwhile, at time of writing, Saget's other co-stars, ranging from Candace Cameron Bure to David Coulier, had not yet made public statements about his death.
