[@willbearheart7919]

Many, many nights I've spent watching No Reservations as a teenager. In my young, adolescent mind, I was on those trips with him. He took me through Japan, China, The U.S.A, and countless other places. And as an adult, he did the same in Parts Unknown. One of my biggest inspirations in life was Anthony Bourdain. I've never felt close to somebody I've never met, before Anthony came along and changed that. He had a way with words unmatched by anybody I've ever met/seen in my life. He was a genuine, honest, funny, intelligent, well traveled man. His impact on people was, is and will continue to be immense.

Yeah and ol Anthony took his own wind right out of himself. If he could do that to himself and all kinds of people when they got word of his talent then he definitely was a talented actor i mean talented and inspirational if he was acting and this was suppose to be an act he wasnt that talented at it.

As a person that has been dealing with clinical depression for as long as I can remember it’s hard to explain how the world is seen through our eyes. To understand I will try to explain how I see it. And everyone I’ve talked to with depression Agree with. So here goes, We comfort others in their time of need yet can not feel comfort ourselves. We use laughter as a tool to keep others happy yet cannot feel happiness ourselves. We seek to please others without an idea of what pleasure is. As him I sought answers or better yet relief in substance, through alcohol and drugs. This was just a way to cope with the reality of my lack of truly being alive. We breath and exists yet really never feel alive. We feel deep love for those that are important to us in life yet can never feel loved, In our eyes we are a burden to those we care about. We are unable to except that someone can love us because we can’t even like ourselves. We think “ How can you love me? Look at me, I’m so worthless, I’m such a failure! A failure at being normal, at being a person. No matter how successful we may be it never seems that we amount to anything. So, to put you in the mind of our fallen brothers and sisters, we feel as if us being gone is an act of compassion to the ones that matter the most. This is not , in a mind of a person with depression an act of selfishness but an act of love. An act of unburdening those we love from our darkness inside. It’s hard to comprehend how someone could think this way to those that are blessed enough to not have this illness. I’ve been told “ Stop feeling sorry for yourself, you’re young and successful. What do you have to be depressed about?” We don’t feel sorry for ourselves, we feel sorry for the people we love and for putting our burden on them. Much like others with this affliction, I take medicine for it. Medicine alone can not cure you. I find that taking medicine going to counseling and a good support group can help you and save your life.

[@me-pm6mx]

Don't put chefs up on a pedestal like everyone is now doing with Anthony Bourdain. Many of them are great at what they do, but they are not God. Chefs I have met were hot headed, temperamental narcissists. And many of them had serious drug and / or alcohol dependencies. They are human, just like everyone else. And some of the shit restaurant owners / managers get away with in terms of violating labor laws, hiring illegal workers, safety violations galore, etc... defy description. Stop idealizing what is a brutal cutthroat industry. Moreover, stop putting people like Anthony Bourdain up on a pedestal. If any of you even bothered to read Kitchen Confidential, Anthony himself even addresses these issues. Anthony never once claimed to be God. Or a role model. Or perfect.

[@excommando1]

And no doubt his worshippers and his co-conspirators at CNN will attend the Church set up to sanctify this guy. Their communion will likely consist of an animal that was tormented and killed as an homage to their god.

I know Mr. Bourdain would be appalled at the thought, but his work on Parts Unknown should have put him on a very short list for a Nobel Peace Prize. With this show he reached millions of people and reminded all of us of the common desire we all have to share time and simple, great food with one another. Probably did more to soften people's hearts to other people and lands and cultures than anything most of the recent Nobel recipients ever managed. Rest in peace good fellow.

We've watched all his shows from Japan many times over, discussing when we finally have the money, where we'll go based on Anthony Bourdain. If you've ever been depressed, after watching his shows, you could tell he was a tortured soul but we all thought he had already successfully pulled through. It breaks my heart. I'm deeply saddened for everyone that actually knew him because the people who only knew him through TV feel so touched by this horrible news. I can only imagine.

We're from the Philippines (my husband and I) and we watch his shows, even the re-runs of the old ones. He always had a straight-forward, no-nonesense, and yet entertaining way of sharing his stories. His passion for food was one of the things that inspired us to explore and experiment more, to be a traveler and not a tourist, and to appreciate the things we have as a people since some nations who have less treasure whatever they have despite all the hardships they encounter. He seemed like the kind of guy who'd apologize in a heartbeat if he was wrong, and would gladly learn from the people around him without using his name and status to get special treatment. Such a sad thing, taking one's life. May he continue to travel and discover things, wherever he is.

Through Anthony's eye's we were able to see more of our world, and taste each place he went! You will hear this alot: I'm so sorry for your loss, but it's our loss too! A friend I would have truly enjoyed for the Great food and the well traveled stories he could tell! So Sorry!

[@jermainejohnson7026]

👏 Rest in Paradise Anthony Bourdain

[@tolow16]

its true

[@cqtaylor]

+Chris_Henson You're able to be better than the worth of what you just wrote.

[@zainzoala1083]

Every religion that believes god paradise & hell , yes says u go hell for suicide, but remember this man maybe had mental health problems, and we know God forgive the mental people, so please don't judge as it is for God to judge. 2nd he died, gone, so show Some respect for the dead people, hope good for them, and remember you are next 1 day.

[@turtleguy5758]

If there is some type of paradise, I’m 100% sure you don’t get there by committing suicide. It’s the most selfish act one can commit.

Lovely to see such raw emotion from Kate Bolduan, it showed me so much about human compassion. THANK YOU KATE!!! I think the homage to him in this clip was moving, inspirational and so lovely x He will be greatly missed

[@matthewnelson325]

We were so lucky to have Anthony Bourdain!

[@southsea8252]

Rich or poor... Famous or not... Everybody got their own demons...

[@richardschiffman7657]

Sorry but that's utter, complete bullshit. When a poor person kills themself, it's just the final step in a long,dark road. But when a rich person kills themself, they're just selfish and/or idiotic.

[@k7777able]

South Sea yes

[@spookykidbunny]

Richard Schiffman implying rich people can’t have problems, lol. i’m poor and even i can understand they’re human goddamn beings. money doesn’t take our mental illnesses away.

[@billgoobinhoffer4705]

South Sea Correction: not everyone. Just some.

[@zsty_trballer10fn10]

Richard Schiffman I think that might be the furthest thing from the truth.

R.I.P Anthony Bourdain 🙁💙

[@RoundtableSports_Network]

He took the cowards way out.

[@kendishamartinez8699]

"In the next life, I am coming back as Anthony Bourdain." My thoughts articulated

[@fotomagrol]

This is really hard...so difficult.

[@prinxessblake609]

I'm tearing up watching this. I'm such a big fan of his. He will be greatly missed.

[@edfou5]

As a grown and somewhat jaded guy now living in a place Anthony loved, Chiang Mai... I've been in a state of shock since the news came... I've been kind of numb... but this, at long last, made me cry. Can't thank you enough, Tony, you were an absolute original. May peace be unto you and may you know how loved you were by millions of us.

[@AyeCarumba221]

I barely knew who he was when he took his life. But I was intrigued enough hearing about him posthumously, that I ended up watching all of Parts Unknown. Then I understood what he meant to his fans, and the world. And now I miss him as if he were a personal friend that I had lost.

[@domonone13]

I actually cried hearing about his passing

[@solitikogliones5430]

leftist tears oh no ??

[@domonone13]

Donkey Kong Federer sucks thank you brother

[@m0here239]

I can’t believe this, like wth. We all loved you! 😞

[@Emnotreal123]

All these years later, I can't look at him without balling my eyes out😭

[@num1Jaysta]

Took me a long time before I could watch his shows again

[@rexhargrove5172]

Bless her heart for having and showing emotion. He was so many things to so many people and I miss him terribly

[@sonicsmiley]

I didnt cry when michael jackson died, when my great grandma passed of old age, but i cried just now watching this video. Anthony touched so many lives and was such an inspiration to many, he changed the way i cooked and appreciated food, and i am so grateful. Rip

[@jeffreywalker7633]

tu for such a great note. i loved him.

[@Eren-ws9yw]

realmacchiatos dude.... Cry for your grandma

[@MsLansones]

I cried too. He’s a heartthrob.

[@cathylawrence7382]

MsLansones Totally agree! Beautiful handsome brilliant man!

[@alexcurran736]

I'm still crying over this loss and it's almost 2021.

[@coolmagicforum6018]

The William Wallace quote, "Every man dies. Not every man really lives." It comes to the front of my mind today. Anthony Bourdain truly lived his life and we were so lucky he shared it with us.

[@mattkotulski437]

I don't know if one was truly living when he takes his own life. Seems his life must have been empty, meaningless, for some time. He probably didn't feel truly living.

[@mattkotulski437]

So how does that change what I said, unless with a torturing illness one really lives full?

[@LIVEINPEACE2023]

Matt Kotulski That doesn’t mean that he never truly lived.

[@MrCeora]

Matt Kotulski, the true proof of living is the way in which you touched, changed , or affected the others lives. That being said, I would think his life carries on in another level at least. Also, like the old folk used to say, "Speak their name and they live, if only for a fleeting moment".

[@snickelfritz4179]

Kind of sadly ironic that the mere sound of this man’s voice was so soothing to millions yet he suffered from so much inner turmoil that he saw no other way than to take his own life! I rarely care when a celebrity dies because I usually feel that they never showed their true self to us so how could we be sad at their passing? When I heard the news of Anthony passing away I was pissed because how few people make us feel like the world is a real, organic, and beautiful thing in the land of charlatans. Why is the suicide rate at a record high? Because this new uncaring technological world looks at us as nothing more than a stat on a fucking productivity sheet. How much can you produce? God I pray that someday soon this machine grinds to a halt and the lights go out so we all are forced to notice the stars again. To anyone thinking of prematurely ending your journey please don’t because the fact that the world makes you so sad means that you care so intensely about things. We need more of you to save the rest of us because we are the ones that are truly lost.

[@ericking4072]

Forced to notice the stars........PURE GOLD!

[@ashleyland468]

I felt like someone close to me died. I am so brokenhearted by this news. He may rest in peace! Xoxo

[@southamericanescapes]

I once saw Bourdain sitting on the outdoor patio of Esca in NYC. I was passing by and it was such a moment in time for me. It was past lunch time, and he was there alone. I stopped and could have even said something. But it was enough just to spot him there appreciating his wine and meal. I read his books and watched his shows -- and never imagined we would have to live without his presence in the world. He was so great! I'm missing him all over again this morning.

[@lailonnib]

Man I’ll really miss you ... you were my tv dad😩❤️😢

[@sergiogarciac.6640]

hes not dead, celebrities do not die they go into hiding and get secret knowledge about how to stop aging and rejuvenation

[@solitikogliones5430]

TV DAD ? Addict ? lmfao

[@Wesley22619]

jeez. you need help

[@keyworksales6241]

More like tv DEAD Loool

[@kodiakpredator]

Seriously?

[@Musichitecture]

That last interview they showed gave me chills. Some people hide their sadness so well that you would never know they were in pain..

[@user-jc8wm4tr2w]

The best thing about CNN was Anthony Bourdain.

[@sergiogarciac.6640]

sadly i did not watch the show

[@brain8484]

Jay Henderson shut up fool

[@user-jc8wm4tr2w]

sergio garcia c. A very smart and witty man with a hell of a since of humor. Check him out.

[@judneg06]

Jay Henderson So why are you watching this show instead of reruns on Netflix? Admit it CNN is like porn for you. Publicly your deny you like it but can’t get enough behind closed doors.

[@simisola8321]

Jay Henderson this is life with Lisa Ling is better

[@spockboy]

She always seems so cold and unemotional when reading the news. Clearly she is actually a very sweet and sensitive person.

[@Barkingspider]

Anthony Bourdain was awesome. Still miss you bro. 😢

I was very touched by this. When Kate starts tearing up I do too! Everytime I watch it.

Anthony was an icon, and genuinely humble, gracious human being. Miss him

Wow .. rest in sweetest peace Anthony! You were an angel on earth and now an angel in heaven. You will truly be missed and we’ll watch your show and rejoice! Thanks for showing us your travels.

[@elizabethdevries8028]

I appreciate seeing Kate Bolduan's emotions and sorrow. She kept it together beautifully and asked what needed to be asked, however, she did it with emotion in her voice that will touch others and hopefully prevent a suicide.

[@pollymahone9392]

Stay strong Kate :(

[@arimayabela]

Rest In Peace Anthony Bourdain. You will be missed..

[@90loneeagle]

He was that one uncle we all wish we had, cool dude who’d take you try new food and talk life, music, art and share a good meal.

[@johnwahan9086]

He took us around the world in places we would never imagine. I drank a beer in the middle of a third world country to a really weird techno bar in Japan. Thank you for sharing your experiences with me. I looked forward to his shows. Of course most if us can't travel. He did it for us. You will be missed.

[@spacenerd9499]

exactly! he did a wonderful job showing us the world! he was down for anything and showed much respect to every culture, country and human he met
