Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult things a person can endure. Losing a loved one suddenly and unexpectedly adds an entirely different level of shock and sadness in addition to heartbreak.
Comedian, actor, father, and husband Bob Saget died on Sunday, January 9 at the age of 65 in his Orlando hotel room, as reported by TMZ. Now, the actor's family is speaking out.
According to the news outlet, the 65-year-old was found dead in his room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando. TMZ states that the Orlando Sheriff's Department and the fire department responded to a 911 call at the hotel around 4 PM ET.
However, the Orange County Sheriff's Office told TMZ: "We have no information on cause of death, and detectives have found no signs of foul play or drug use in this case."
Bob is survived by his wife Kelly Rizzo and his three adult daughters — Aubrey, 34, Lara, 32, and Jennifer, 29.
As fans will recall, the comedian was married to attorney Sherri Kramer for 15 years, with whom he had his three children.
"I didn’t think I’d have a relationship again. I was kind of in that 'just work, make people happy and take care of your kids until they’re 90' mindset," he explained.
"She’s a remarkable person, and she’s really talented. She’s got her own website and streaming series called Eat Travel Rock."
Just a few weeks ago, Kelly took to social media to celebrate their three-year wedding anniversary.
"Doesn’t feel a day over 2 years 10 months. Love you @bobsaget, Thank you for being the most wonderful husband!"
"I don’t know what to say except she is the sweetest, most beautiful, smartest woman— and I am so incredibly lucky— and always surprised she loves me so much," he joked.
"Almost as much as I love her. Everyone who gets to have Kelly in their life is beyond fortunate."
It's clear this pair made each other incredibly happy.
"We are devastated to confirm that our beloved Bob passed away today," the statement began. "He was everything to us and we want you to know how much he loved his fans, performing live and bringing people from all walks of life together with laughter."
"Though we ask for privacy at this time, we invite you to join us in remembering the love and laughter that Bob brought to the world."
What a beautiful statement for such a beloved man.
RIP Bob.
