So refreshing to see a normal funeral for such an iconic trailblazing actor that was a true testament to how Mr. Gossett lived his life; may he indeed RIP and forever be with the Lord, Amen.

So sad right now. I did not know Mr Gossett had passed away. One of my favorite actors. RIP sir

I had the distinct honor of meeting Mr. Gossett years ago at J L Hudson's Dept Store where he was having a meet & greet for the African pendant the Muntu. As i approached him, he asked my name & i was so awestruck i couldn't speak so my coworker told him my name. He flashed that bazillion dollar grin, kissed my outstretched hand & told me he was glad to meet me! That hand has never been the same!😂😂😂 He was such a gentleman!!!

I met Mr. Gossett in Los Angeles on Crenshaw & Martin Luther King Blvd at M&M soul food restaurant in the late 90's he was sitting there along eating his food we said hi he spoke he was kind and friendly .If you from LA. you know M&M soul food

[@cheryl5727]

What a fabulous actor and gentleman, my prayers and condolences to his family and friends. Fly high

[@lillianwilliams5510]

I first thought Mr Gossett had passed. Then. When I started watching. I THOUGHT IT WAS TRIBUTE TO HIM NOW. BUT NOW I REALIZE HE PASSED. A GREAT ACTOR AND HUMANITARIAN. SO IF THIS IS THE CELEBRATION IS CERTAINLY A SAD TIME. HE WILL BE REMEMBER FOR BEING AN AMAZING PERSON. HE WILL BE MISSED!!! As I watched I couldn't help but cry. This was March.I am just seeing it. 6-3-2024 This was in March and I am just seeing it 6-3-2024. I can't help but cry. Mr Gossett was one of the finest actors and man of dignity. A definite HONORABLE MAN. PRAYERS TO THE FAMILY AND THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY. I was surprised how humble, But respectful to Mr.GOSSETT. I think I saw every movie he starred in and have most of them on VHS DVD. Ì NEVER WATCHED ONE MOVIE AND DIDN'T THINK HE IS ONE OF THE GREAT MALE ACTORS. A.LEGACY IN HIS TIME.

I had no intentions to watch this entire funeral but I’m so glad I did. Louise Gossett was a wonderful and talented man with a prolific career. There were so many things I heard that I didn’t know about him. There are a few people that I wish I could have known in their lives and Louis Gossett Jr is one of them. Rest in Peace Mr Gossett. 🙏🙏

[@debralong9771]

RIP Mr. Gossett. Been a fan of this man since I was about 7, 8 yrs. old. Now I'm near 60 yrs. old. Many of y'all may not know this but there was a time you very rarely saw people of color on TV or in movies, so all we had to represent us was Mr. Gossett and a handful of others he always played very wise, or caring, or intelligent roles and he was an excellent actor I didn't know to appreciate Mr. Gossett until I was good and grown. I hadn't seen Mr. Gossett much until he starred in a few Tyler Perry films you talk'n about glad to see that man I near cried. Rest In Peace thank you for the many years of your contributions to the art.

[@user-qc6ms4xy9m]

I'll always remember David Keith in his performance as Bishop Greenleaf. Outstanding Performance. Terry

Did not know him, but loved him dearly for how well he portrayed his characters in motion pictures, it seems it was a life well lived, according to what has been said. And in the thoughts of Bob Marleys words it seems he had faith, in the idea, of confidence in the victory, of good over evil. And for that, i thank our God!❤️❤️🙏🙏🙂

[@Encourager-Purpose-Destiny]

❤Rest in love and peace Mr. Louis Gossett Jr. It was time for you to go home to heaven. Your assignment was over. You fought a good fight. You finished your course. You kept the faith. Our days are numbered. Our times are in God’s hands (Psalm 3:15a). God knows the number of our days and months. We cannot live longer than the time God has set (Job 14:5). Before we had even seen our first day or taken our first breath, God had already written in His book of life the number of our days (Psalm 139:16). For in God we live, move, and have our being (Acts 17:28a). God created all things, and only by God’s will, do we exist (Rev. 4:11).
