R.IP. -Christopher Reeve is dead.
« 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.

edit- para Bob, thanks for the correction!

comes in threes i guess. Ken Caminitti died too. Not that important to other places but he was pretty big in San Diego. Plus a lot of people felt bad for him as is since he just got arrested so he was on peoples minds even without his death.

Wow, Caminitti was young too.  I guess steroids and cocaine does that to you.

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

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 .
