I never watched him and never even heard his name before.

But it's a shame as I see he had a little girl, eleven years old, I believe.

So sad.  For her and all his loved ones.

I am shocked by this news and all I can say is, WOW!

I will miss you Anthony Bourdain.

I'm speechless. His poor wife and child. I can't believe he'd leave his daughter without a father after waiting so long to have her. DH is totally shocked too.

CNN/Anderson Cooper is having a lovely tribute to him this hour.  I'm sorry I missed the first half but it will be replayed at 10pm EDT if you are interested.

eta:  In addition, CNN will be airing a special at 9pm EDT.

God rest his soul. I always enjoyed his  programs. I think he was a lot of fun ,and very interesting.  I would have never eaten most of the food he did, but lots of people do

It's such a shame to know ,so many people feel so bad, and need to   end their desperate pain. He was another one that hid it well, He was an ex drug addict, and perhaps he had just been always looking for a release from his pain. I will miss him

That's what seemed to come across on the TV about him, was his sense of fun. I really enjoyed his quirky sense of humor. I really enjoyed watching and seeing the places that he visited.

I will really miss him too, and I am really terribly saddened by this, and I am so terribly, terribly, saddened for his loved ones. May he rest in peace.

I saw this on another site and thought it worth sharing...

I'm sorry for his family but if I'm being honest, he said some terrible things lately so I didn't follow him as closely as I did in the past.

Anthony Bourdain wasn't a phony, he was a straight shooter so to speak. I admire that in a person.
