Jonathan, you are loved and missed by many. You had such an impact on everyone around you. RIP. :(

Jonathan Brandis... probably the best looking guy ever. Its too bad that growing up a child actor can make you feel so worthless when your carrier tunes down at a later age that you commit suicide. I think its best that we learn to help kids grow up in a much more humble way to avoid these feelings. Even with so many people loving him throughout the world, he felt isolated and alone. Now we will never get to see him mature. What a beautiful man with a beautiful smile, I hope the world learns something from his death.

I was 12 when I saw IT for the first time, an i fell in love with the boy who played Billy. He was one of the first crushes I ever had on a celebrity. For some reason my heart just went out to the actor. I turn 17 in october an I still remember the little boy I had a crush on when I was younger. Tonight I was watching IT again with my mother, and I couldnt help but wonder what ever happened to him? SoI scrolled the credits until I found his name, I thought maybe I could send him a fan letter. Johnathan Brandis, needless to say I found out.... I couldn`t believe it, it felt sort of ironic cuz the day before id thought of suicide myself. But I knew Id never be able to seriously do it and its so tragic that he did. If only he`d realized how many people he`d touched. I loved him as a kid, an I wish I could have gotten a chance to tell him so myself. He was an amazing actor, an I pray to god he`s an angel now. Thank you JB! ily.

i was shock,i just found today that he s dead,o my god,i really love him,im gonna miss him.!!

LinzyNickyMay 7, 2010

Not in shock over his death...I knew the day after the info was released...but just hanging out on-line sometimes makes you look up the things and the people that mattered....I had 29 posters of Jonathon Brandis on my wall when I was 16...my mom even got me a framed picture of him for Christmas that year (kinda weird, I know). I dreamt about him almost every night and he was in fact my number one crush for years. I know I`m not the only one, obviously...to his parents and friends, know he was admired well. I am very sorry he left us. LNK

It has been several years since Jonathan Brandis death, and I am sure there are many people who were saddend when they heard, me included. I loved him ever since I was a young girl. Rest in peace. I`ll never stop loving you and I will miss you forever.

RaymondApr 6, 2010

Just fishing around the Internet and saw the Tweets for Justin Beiber. So I thought... What about JB? Interesting that people are still talking this long after he left us,but not a surprise. He was a great guy - seriously - who touched a lot of people. May he find peace.
