I wasn't a regular watcher but have seen a few of his many travels and international cooking experiences. What a damn shame and a big loss.

7. Hard to wrap your head around. He seemed to enjoy life to the fullest.

You never really know the demons inside other people. I'll miss watching him. Very sad.

8. This one made my heart skip a beat

I LOVED his show and used to eat at one of his restaurants in NYC right by my office until a rent dispute forced it to close. May his memory be a blessing.

11. Sadly, you never know what is going on behind the scenes.

You can know someone for years in person, not know anything is wrong, and then they one day go and kill themselves. Depression is an invisible illness.

This was shocking news. RIP
