RJ we will never forget you❤️

I’m devastated. absolutely horrible news. Just imagining how much he must’ve suffered to get to this point is making me cry. Seeing him on screen will never feel the same again, but his talent and his legacy will carry on through his work and activism.

He was such a sweet guy. i can’t imagine how bryan and anna must feel right now:(
rip, you will be forever missed by millions

Really sad. And I was just reading a bunch of posts trash talking him today on this sub. 😕

How do you even trash talk him? That is crazy.

So many people saying his character was useless, he was unnecessary, boring, etc. Just kinda shitty people.

I love Flynn's character (RJ) -- it plays in to the greek tragedy that is breaking bad

He was perfect in the role. You saw him first and not his disability. That takes talent. He was a fully fleshed out teen that was often sweet, sometimes annoying which is what teenagers are.

Walt Jr’s innocence and sweetness was such an essential counter to the illegality and darkness going on behind the curtain. It made everything Walt Sr was doing seem all the more aberrant.

The show would not have hit so hard without him.

I’m really upset. I hardly cry over celebrities but I cried over him. He was a great actor and seemed like a great dude in real life too 💔

I’m really shocked. I believe he was in Albuquerque just a few days ago for the Balloon Fiesta.

Not had a celeb death actually impact me the way his death has impacted me today. It’s a very sad day.

Check out some of his other work as a tribute ❤️ He’s one of my favourite actors and I’m so thankful I discovered him through BrBa. RJ was a truly inspirational advocate and actor who meant so much when it comes to disability representation and awareness. The world was a brighter place with him in it. Rest easy RJ.

Rewatched this interview with him, & thought I would just leave it here.

Ita crazy, there was literally a streamer who was talking about the show about 10 minutes prior and even imitating him then he found out he passed away on stream. He felt like shit. It is a trip tho cause the sub has bashed him so much and now that he passed he will get nothing but love and I BET amc runs a marathon now after years of having one. Watch!

I just saw his podcast, where he mentioned he doesnt like social media. Didn't even know people where hating on him, disgusting man. He seemed like the nicest guy ever. It's so sad, can't stop thinking about it. Don't think a celebrity death ever impacted me this much. It's just so sad, horrible beyond words.

What a dreadful comment.

u/Hoya_Mayo 6h ago

don’t disrespect him on my post , i was trying to express sadness for his passing, not joke about him. i’d delete this comment

u/Careless-Charge9884 6h ago

Get off your moral high horse, you are farming likes and attention off of a tragedy.

4

u/Hoya_Mayo 6h ago

no moral high horse, just saying joking about a man who just died on a post about his death isn’t nice. i have the right to say that. also who tf cares about likes on reddit i just genuinely wanted to make a post about him

•

u/Careless-Charge9884 5h ago

No moral high horse. Precedes to explain a moral high horse complex

u/Careless-Charge9884 6h ago

So you did it for attention. Ok. You assume my intent was to be hateful, so I make assumptions on your actions. Not everyone grieves in a solemn way. I view you actions as a performance

•

u/Hoya_Mayo 5h ago

i read your previous comment about not meaning it like that. idk why you felt the need to comment again. saying this post is for attention is crazy. nobody is giving me attention it’s just to share memories and sadness like the other thousands of posts made in these hours

•

u/Careless-Charge9884 5h ago

I am sorry. I just I don't understand. I understand not finding it funny. You saying take it down ruffled my feathers. Laughing at tragedy is a tale as old as time. I promise I have a heart that feels for RJ and loved ones involed. I just disagree a certain decorum around death is productive. I did not grow up that way. Sorry for dragging this along. I know you are likely in good faith I was just trying to explain I was too and .... 😆

•

u/Quirky_Importance873 5h ago

Your comment was in poor taste regardless of what your preferred decorum is. Most don't find death amusing especially his loved ones.

•

u/Careless-Charge9884 5h ago

Fair enough, but I didnt say death was amusing.

u/Careless-Charge9884 6h ago

People grieve differently my friend. I have nothing but respect for him.
