      What an incredible loss, so sad.... What could have been will never be, but what was, was so great, Thank you Heath for sharing your talent.

      I'm still in shock. Heath was one of my favorite actors, so talented and a serious performer who would study carefully to perfect his roles. Considered amoung the best in the industry. He was also so down-to-earth and modest. He had a bright future. This is such a shame. My heart goes out to his family.
