Tragic Details About John Candy

To this day, his death still shocks me. It was on the news for a week.

[@andywinslow9638]

Yeah. RIP. Even 26 years later I can't believe he's gone

[@oilersridersbluejays]

In the US, they ask: “where were you when Elvis died?” In Canada, we ask: “where were you when John Candy died?” It was such a sudden and tragic loss to the world. Your roles kept me and my family laughing and happy in good times and in some rough times also. Not only were you a great actor, but a great father, husband, and person in general. RIP John. We miss you. Hopefully you are making people laugh in heaven.

[@kpk33x]

In the US here...the double hit of one of my favorite actors in Candy and my favorite musician Kurt Cobain passing away in consecutive months made spring 1994 very sad for me.

30 years now it’s insane I was a huge fan of his when I was a kid I loved every movie he was in.

[@TerryFlynn-sd1ho]

I became a fan of John watching SCTV And how Good he was in movies, HE Definitely Made His Mark!😅

[@youknowcrimedontpay9257]

In 1979 I was in grade 9 and had a part time job at a place in Toronto called Mother's Sandwich Shop. John would come in really late after shooting SCTV. I remember his order was extra meatball sub with a chocolate shake. He would sit in a booth and wait to take it with him. Once he left me a $100.00 bill tip which I asked him to sign. I still have it. I loved this guy who was the kindest man with a big heart. He invited me to a private party with the SCTV crew at a pinball arcade called Funland which was downtown on younge Street Toronto. I went and met everyone and played air hockey with Katherine O'Hara who was just getting her career going back then. Memories I will never forget. RIP my friend John Candy!

[@aubreywhaley7729]

I still remember John Candy even to this day, even after his death way back in 1994. John Candy's passing was the saddest day of my life😭. There's no telling what more great achievements he could have accomplished if he hadn't died. No doubt John Candy is a loveable, jolly and friendly person you definitely want to be friends with.

[@EXPLISITemcee]

Its a sad thing about life.. guys like Candy and Curly howard,Bellushi died on us early.. bringing joy to people and God takes them so heaven can laugh...its not cool.. we need to laugh too.

[@timothygray8836]

I like all John Candy movies…but to say the saddest day of your life was when essentially a stranger to you died. Now that’s pretty sad!!! Not a family member or friend passing away was more sad??? Someone that you actually knew! It’s crazy how people worship and cry over celebrities that they don’t know and the celebrities don’t give a f*** about you. But that’s your saddest day! SMDH!!! 🤦‍♂️

John Candy is an absolute legend of an actor. Planes, Trains & Automobiles, Summer Rental, Delirious, Splash, Once Upon a Crime, The Great Outdoors, Brewster’s Millions, Stripes, Cool Runnings are the films imo were the films he really starred as an amazing actor. Though as others have commented he was gr8 in others. Brilliant actor and will never be forgotten who love the films he starred in.

[@xbrandi12345x]

I was 8yrs old when he died and I remember it well. Already at 8yrs old I was a huge fan of his movies and also Camp Candy. I remember when he died I was really upset and I remember my mom showing me the article about his passing in the paper. As an adult, I am still a huge John Candy fan. One movie you need to watch if you are a fan and haven't seen it is The Clown Murders. I love his comedy roles but the roles where he doesn't do comedy are kinda rare so I jump at a chance to see them. It's a really good movie and he does a great job playing his character, Ollie.

[@Danimal77]

I was devastated when he died. I was 16 at the time and am now 43, the same age he was when he passed away. Looking back, it was such a massive loss. He was a naturally funny and talented actor and a great person. He unfortunately could not control his weight in the last few years of his life. It reportedly climbed up to 375 pounds at the time of his death. He left behind a loving family and I'm sure they all miss him, as we, his fans, do as well.

I don’t. No widow wants to have an autopsy. It’s too horrible to contemplate. Been there, done that. 😢

[@stevelovessialetsdance5966]

Look when I die I would hope that an autopsy would be done to rule out any foul play like cyanide or anything else a cause should be necessary 🤷 nobody should dictate whether or not an autopsy should be done up until now I thought they did them automatically ⚰️if somebody poisoned somebody I loved I would want to know but hey that's just me.

[@debbiepeter112]

He had heart problems so dying of heart related issues isnt suspicious so no, I wouldn't want an autopsy done either

TIL: Young John Candy looked a lot like Bill Hicks. Serious note, him as Del Griffith changed the way I look at movies. He obviously had Funny down to a T... but if you don't wanna cry, and the end of Planes, Trains & Automobiles... you are a cyborg, and I can't understand you because you speak binary. He absolutely destroys you, in that scene. But to go from so light-hearted and funny, to so sorrowful and heart-felt in the same movie, shouldn't be ignored. RIP John Candy

Not even close to underrated. Hollywood took notice of him during SCTV and he went on to make several classic, successful comedies.
