Emoji’s do not justify the loss I am feeling now. In my heart, in my heart, he will be missed.

Rest in peace Good man, may the Great Spirits ease your Journey to the afterlife.

Anthony Bourdain never considered himself a great technical chef;. He was a communicator, and writer; his magnimonious spirit embracing all CULTURES and taking us on vicarious travel and culinary experiences, was his gift. He used his platform and fame to enlighten us all.

ANTHONY WHY DID YOU LEAVE US EARLY. Deep in my mind wanted to meet you some day. It was one of my wishes.

[MariaMaria-jnid]

He is closed to my heart because during the time i was not in my best shape, his shows make me forget the negative feelings i have that time. Its true that he brought the world to me, i feel like i travelled that certain country when i am watching him😥💔

We will always love you Anthony Bourdain. May you find the peace and happiness you are looking for.

[COJAZZ]

Sad and shocking. It shows that money, talent, and having material things don't always mean happiness and peace of mind. Rest in Peace.

I wish u could have known how much we all loved you...you were too beautiful for this world...

[angel]

I REALLY LIKED THIS DUDE!!! REST IN POWER!!!

[soko]

every minute someone commits suicide, ending ones own life doesn't make you restart and reborn a better life, No, it's not the solution. We all have depressing moments, I too but you have to fight the demons in your mind that is telling you to take your life.

[lilesmw]

Aww. Goodbye sir. You'll be loved and missed.

[rebeccamireles]

Its a horrible loss he will be missed here

Hanging yourself is a terrible way to go, my neighbor hanged himself last year in his apartment. I thought it was a message to people how much pain he was in, he also left his apartment door open to be found. My 85 year old neighbor found him. I think he is suffering from PTSD now.

Wonder if he could cook nothing burgers 🤔

[stanleysiewierski]

What he did was leave his child without a father. I really feel sad for his daughter. I think of my own son and that gives me strength no matter what illness I have!

This guy seems fruity. Less interviews with him, please. 😕
