Steve Gabriel (Avenue Q producer): “On behalf of the Avenue Q family, we feel this is a great loss. In a way, we are with Gary Coleman everyday. His character on stage is humorous, but it also reflects great compassion and respects his place in the industry. In a small way, Gary is going to live on with the show.”
Traci Bingham: “The sudden passing of Gary Coleman comes to a great shock. I was fortunate to have the honorable pleasure to work with him. I got to know him during my experience on ‘The Surreal Life.’ The moment he walked onto the set, we instantly bonded. I found him to be incredibly funny, intelligent, loving and outgoing. He always had such a positive outlook on life and people! Gary will truly be missed by the world and he will forever live on in my heart!! Gary, i love you!”
Vanilla Ice: “I’m shocked and deeply saddened. He was a great guy, a legend – everyone knows Gary Coleman. We had a good time on ‘Surreal Life.’ I’ll always remember the time he and I had. He was fun to around for the most part. Just a good, funny guy.”
Danny Cooksey (“Diff’rent Strokes”): “I really looked up to Gary … I watch him and learn … We shot in front of a live audience … He took me under his wing … I learned a tremendous amount from him. I would go over to his house and look at his train set. He was really into trains and had a huge room dedicated to his train, but I couldn’t touch them. They were only for looking – the trains were Gary’s baby … Gary also had the full-on arcade version of ‘Spy Hunter,’ which in 1985 was a big deal.”
Trishelle Cannatella (“Surreal Life”): “This is awful. I’m really sad by the news. I’m praying for his wife.”
Katy Perry (via Twitter): “rip gary coleman #whatchutalkinboutwillis”

It saddened me to learn of the death of Gary Coleman today. He brought so much laughter to the show Different Strokes. I watched him grow up as well as my children. I am also sorry of the troubled times he had in his life and maybe now he can find some peace!. With all of his health problems he encountered in his life, he did manage to live his life as it was given to him.After the show went off the air, he and many of his co-stars went through troubled times, and it breaks my heart to know that he was added to the list of many who had fame and fortune, and then for their lives to end the way it most often times does. My heartfelt prayers and condolences are with his wife and mand others as well as myself , who are mourning the passing of a genius while he was here with us. Mt favorite line of his will always be “What you talking about Willis” Gone but never will be forgotten. God bless and keep you all at this time in your lives.
Gary was well known all over the World for the role he played in Different Strokes. I remember then, we did not have a TV set which made us peep through our neighbour’s window at a distance if they did not allow us in, just to c you act Gary. We sure mis u Gary, we will! Condelences to your family & wife Shannon. But, still, we want an explaination to what actually transpired that led to the death of a life time star!
