Title: R.IP. -Christopher Reeve is dead.
Post by: Living-In-Clip on October 10, 2004, 09:41:06 PM: The news just broke that a man that made people believe he could fly has just died. While the family has not made an official announcement (one is expected at 6:00 am), Christopher Reeve has passed away.

I don\'t normally do these threads for famous people, but I feel Christopher Reeve was a legend. He not only defined one of the most iconic roles, he also pushed ahead for stem cell research for those that are paralizyed.

DOB: 25 September 1952

Only 18 years old? :( I guess his accident really shortened his life.

You are now on my hate list. If you don\'t know who Christopher Reeve is, then you should be ashamed of yourself .

Post by: videoholic on October 11, 2004, 03:12:35 AM: I actually feel bad for his death mainly because of the hope he brought to the parapalegic community.

The dude made outstanding strides and never gave up.

It\'s a shame that he was never able to walk again.

Exactly. I never post in these threads, but I actually felt sad when I heard the breaking news. Not only did he define a role, he also never gave up in the real world. He was a true Superman until the end. He gave hope to those in the parapalegic community. For Christopher , the parapalegic community and many of fans, it was not if he would walk again, it was a matter of when he would walk again. So many people would of given up after his accident, but he didn\'t. Not only did he not give up, he pushed ahead .(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkline.com%2Fpersonal%2Fshamburg%2Fdedication.jpg&hash=f33552b5821a5de6c314f3968ac583bdd7893c51)

Post by: Lord Nicon on October 11, 2004, 11:28:08 AM: Wow. That is sad. My dad was talking about how it was hard for him to look at him a few days ago because it was just so sad and then a few days later he dies. His mobility was lost to a sad accident and how he too is lost to a sad accident of sorts. Rest in peace
