I still remember when it happened, I praise him for advocating for other parents who also lost their kids in a similar fashion, great inspiration.

[@nene71286]

As a father. Props to Tony for making people laugh when broken inside.

[@godfreyojeator999]

We are all called to service. Even God is serving us everyday with is love, care a protection and keeping the universe functioning. Glory be to God almighty.

[@LvLocks1915]

As a person who struggles to find the right things to say when someone passes this is actually helpful.

[@jaicoture]

MY heart was SHATTERed for him. 💔🕊🕊🕊🙏🏾

[@Jah42O]

Tony Baker talking about his cats knowing that he lost his son is a real thing.

[@litoxxlito_axx7318]

I was just coming on here to understand how he processed losing his son but got a better understanding on how to show up and support a family member or friend during this type of situation, something I’m not good at and now I have a better understanding and how to approach it, thank you sir Baker.

[@erickiyoshiphillips2323]

I never saw my dad cry when he lost his father I have never seen my dad cry one time. I have seen him almost cry when he saw me in the hospital after I got in a crash and almost died. I think men have hard time dealing with loss

[@infadelakainf]

My condolences. When my granddad passed my dad was similar in response. He kept his shades on and I saw one tear. But he never moved or took deep breaths or even sighed.

[@Retroactive93]

Facts. My dad is the same way 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@BeautifulEarthJa]

Men develop into that

[@uefamikep]

I love my son so much. I wouldn't know what I would do if this happened to me. He is a strong man

[@krissifadwa]

He's a deep thinker. Very much intelligent. That last sentence was golden.

[@DCGuruX]

Most men don’t know how to deal with emotions like that.

[@joeyomen4118]

I’m in tears tony. I remember watching the boys grow on the channel . God bless you and your since sincere and may god protect you both. God bless you son cerain

[@Indielizard711]

Awww I remember when this happened, been following him since he did the animal voiceovers… I remember he would still make jokes and say “why am I like this…😅”

[@bethhayes1]

So sorry for your loss, man. God bless.

[@TheRealest127]

Tony Baker Is one of my favorite comedians. ALWAYS Hilarious. And the fact that he is STILL Always very funny whenever you see him is a Testament to To the Human Spirit. Living Proof that no matter what happens we must continue to persevere and keep pushing forward. I couldn’t imagine losing my son like that and I’m Rooting for Tony even MORE than Ever now. 🙏🏾🕊️💙

[@joyisvegan]

First I want to say I’m sorry for your loss Tony ( literally just was watching another video of an interview you did when it was mentioned) So I’ve been on a Tony kick for the past week or so. Rediscovering my love for his comedy. I have literally fallen in love with TB! Y’all I know his public face isn’t all of him but whew! His emotional intelligence, thoughtfulness, his spirit are so beautiful!! 🥹

[@jonahmaddox1038]

So sorry man.

[@RightHandKam]

Wow. He passed away on my birthday. I know he's resting. Gone to soon. Your funny tony thank you for the jokes.

[@MsMakeba]

#LetssssssGOOOOO 💚🕊 #LLCB One of the most profound things I've heard @Tony Baker say about the grief process is to let the person experiencing loss take the lead. If they want to cry, cry with them. If they want to laugh, laugh with them. If they just want to sit in silence, just sit in silence with them. Unfortunately, people tend to center themselves in others' grief or lead with ego. 🥺

[@ssmouse77]

You are amazing. We have never met, but you are one of my favorite humans. Bless you always. Tons of hugs & love to you.

[@shontaewalden6027]

I can't imagine losing my kids

[@billrichardson9586]

My first time seeing this. Jaiden was my grandson.

[@malikevans2615]

I think he drowned in his pool if I'm not mistaken

[@Hinokami777]

@@malikevans2615yeah that’s what they say man but I honestly don’t believe it was that simple. I don’t believe teddy would be swimming alone. Why wasn’t anyone around him

[@t.thompson8985]

People just need you there. Bottom line.

[@vincentmesta4532]

Absolutely amazing man here. Thank you for your testimony bro very much appreciated and needed. Grief is a sign of compassion on a higher level reach out and hug someone in need🙏🏻

[@duccyoh3ad216]

Rest peacefully to your son 🙏

[@beverleyreid7572]

Oh gosh, it's so sad to lose your young child. May God help you to carry on.

[@Hinokami777]

It’s so sad man. We lost his son August 2021. Then literally the next year we lose Teddy Ray also in august. Keeping y’all in my prayers.

Soons he blow they go say he sacrificed his son

[@Steve-mp7by]

It's a shame his passing destroyed their family. I think Tony lives alone now. I hope he's getting therapy. On the bright side the 19 year old that killed will probably never get out

RIP Sorry for your loses
