In Memoriam 💔😢

This news has floored me. He was diagnosed in 2016... Black Panther came out in 2018. So, he filmed a superhero movie, with all the physical effort that requires, while having cancer. I can’t imagine the bittersweetness of finding such huge mainstream success while knowing that you have a terminal illness. He was hitting his stride, but close to the end. This news seriously got to me. Rest in power.

Few_Direction · 2020-08-29T17:20:32+00:00

I couldn’t believe it. Like another commenter said, I thought he was a lot younger. He was doing big things and his career was taking off. And he brought so much light while he was here. The dedication to his craft was apparent. So devastating.💔

I cannot believe he continued to work while undergoing chemo and surgeries (not to mention keeping it a secret from the press). I've watched relatives deal with chemo and it made them constantly nauseous and basically bedridden. Boseman was tougher in real life than the character he played in the Marvel movies! I just hope that he had time to rest and be with his loved ones in the end

I'm absolutely heartbroken. He was a great actor; his roles generally told a meaningful story. I forget where I saw it, it was either twitter or instagram, but he said his big break was delayed because he wouldn't just take any role. The role had to be meaningful for him to take it and he chose not to take roles that, in our words, showcased LVM traits. The roles he played exemplified HVM traits. Rest in power, Chadwick.

whymenaregarbage · 2020-08-29T15:51:49+00:00

It's so devastating. I am really touched by the news and feel like I lost a relative or someone very close to me. I didn't stop crying these last hours.

Rest in peace Chadwick. You did well, very well.

SoniaLovesYou · 2020-08-29T17:25:08+00:00

By all accounts, in all respects, he was every inch a King. We have lost a beautiful, strong soul. May he rest in power and peace.

Maisiebr · 2020-08-29T16:40:46+00:00

I haven't even watched a lot of his films, but this was absolutely devastating to hear. The sheer bravery and resilience, how he kept his privacy but marched through his goals. How he kept in touch with kids who had terminal illnesses and supported them while he was battling one himself. Heart wrenching.

ms_monquis · 2020-08-29T19:44:02+00:00

For me, this is a beautiful and needed reminder that classy men exist, and that there are more HV people out there than we may think because they go about it quietly. What an inspiration, not just because he kept his struggles out of the public,* but because of what he DID share with the public.

*To be clear, I don’t think people should feel the need to deny health issues or pretend something isn’t happening. I really don’t think that’s the point of these stories. I’m celebrating people being selective in what they share with strangers, contrasted with celebrities who court the media at every turn, and will exploit themselves and their families just to stay in the public eye. By all accounts, he was a hardworking, humble, generous man. THAT is what we’re celebrating, even if it’s clumsily expressed as “wow he was sick and never made a circus about it, what a guy.”

Deep-Blackberry · 2020-08-29T17:21:39+00:00

This really hurt me.

I hope he's able to Rest in Peace.

Shrimpy_monsters · 2020-08-29T18:13:34+00:00

He was Jackie Robinson, and he passed on Jackie Robinson Day. The world is worse off without him. Such a long, long time to be gone and a short time to be here.

Ms_Tilly · 2020-08-29T15:37:13+00:00

Devastating 😔

Lavender_flow · 2020-08-29T15:53:58+00:00

His memory will live on and his kind acts will always be remembered! What a HVM.

Hahane · 2020-08-29T17:26:07+00:00

So shocking and sad. Life is truly unfair. :(

Genethebunnyqueen · 2020-08-29T16:10:08+00:00

fuck, he was so young and looked even younger. it cme right outta nowhere.

arainharuvia · 2020-08-29T17:33:46+00:00

He was such a beautiful person. I am heartbroken

Original1one · 2020-08-29T16:46:33+00:00

this was devastating and I am still shaken. A girlfriend of mine has colon cancer and this just added to the pain we've all been dealing with now I am more scared than hopeful. if anyone has any resources or knows of any support groups on reddit, please send them my way. i had a breakdown an hr ago.

Hmtnsw · 2020-08-29T17:34:27+00:00

This has me crying- his death, what he did while battling his own challenges- and I've never even met the guy. Life is strange.

cherrybomb1024 · 2020-08-29T18:42:44+00:00

This is one of my favorite videos of him

After accepting award for best hero at the VMAs, he presented the award to a young man who stopped a public shooting. Wonderful moment! RIP to a true King!

stackofwits · 2020-08-29T21:12:21+00:00

I want to personally address someone who made the ignorant statement below:

He was diagnosed as stage 3 four years ago. Stage 3 colorectal has a 5 year survivability of 75%, and that number mostly comes from cases in much older people.

Right. I want you to know that my graduate advisor also passed away on February 2nd of this year with colorectal cancer at the age of 67, only two years after his initial diagnosis. I guess that must have been due to some anti-science blithering he was doing in secret.

Dr. Talbot was so optimistic about his diagnosis two years ago, he interviewed me in April 2018 and made fully-funded PhD offers to both I and another student, with whom I remain very close. He scheduled his chemotherapy appointments around his teaching schedule without fail. He was looking forward to retiring after I and his other advisee finish our dissertations the last time I formally met with him in his office before the holiday break last fall. I was at a bus stop when I got the news that he had died the day before, and I think part of me is still standing there at stop #7543 for the 153 in Houston.

These anti-science folk may seem harmless, but they have real consequences. RIP

He was a renowned atmospheric chemist. He took part in the initial tropospheric chemistry flights done by NASA in the 1980s. He authored over 300 papers and was cited just short of 20,000 times when he died. I still miss him on the daily, and the further I get into my dissertation, the longer my list of questions he would instantly know the answers to grows.

I made this comment because yours shows such an utter lack of empathy for Chadwick Boseman and his family, his suffering, and all that he still achieved while dealing with this in private. I used my advisor to express this because Dr. Talbot was and will always be my real life hero: he gave me a reason to believe in myself when I had nothing and, thus, a reason to live. Now, imagine what it must have done for millions the world around to see Chadwick Boseman step into the role of the Black Panther.

That said, you really need to sit with and think about the magnitude of the loss felt with his passing. You are talking about real people here, and statistics are just that: statistics.

RIP Dr. Bob Talbot & Chadwick Boseman

Poor man. May he rest in peace 😢

sunbathingpug · 2020-08-29T19:35:27+00:00

Truly unbelievable. I still can’t believe it. May he forever rest in peace and I honestly wish the family lots of strength. He was a remarkable human and I’m glad we had the chance to see a piece of it on screen. 💔💔💔

kht777 · 2020-08-30T00:25:34+00:00

I recommend watching 42, Marshall and Get On Up, along with Black Panther for some good movies he starred in.

A real HVM portraying HVM. Rest in Peace. As a Marvel fan, they kept this dead quiet, we had no idea. I don't even think some of his fellow actors knew, it seems like.

Inspection-Critical · 2020-08-29T16:09:09+00:00

Omg I'm just hearing about this now. Wtf.

hakunnamatatamfs · 2020-08-29T20:47:17+00:00

I'm still shaken and heartbroken about this. I survived cancer and had a relative die of the same type of cancer, I know what it feels to go through all the treatments while trying to survive at the same time, yet this guy managed to put up w the insane training that a movie like black panther requires... Just wow. On top of that he made time to visit children and other people battling cancer while he did it in silent. I hate this fucking illness. Wish his family and friends all the light.

degnan1214 · 2020-08-29T18:00:05+00:00

I was heartbroken when I heard. I remember seeing photos of him in the last year where it was obvious he had lost a lot of weight, but never thought this could be the cause, or that the end was so near for him. He seemed like a lovely person and was fantastic in "Black Panther." RIP and condolences to his family.

Revy_Ur_Engines · 2020-08-29T19:19:03+00:00

2020 has claimed too many lives

podPHD · 2020-08-29T17:36:42+00:00

He seems like a really good man. I feel so badly for his whole family. What a shock. RIP you will be missed.

TheeReddit · 2020-08-29T18:21:47+00:00

He was so young, and what a strong man !

esthermaniii · 2020-08-29T18:32:41+00:00

What a loss 🥺💔

stillcantsee · 2020-08-29T17:12:39+00:00

💔so bummed

RamenUndergraduate · 2020-08-29T17:34:29+00:00

So sad! Black Panther you will always be king! We will never forget your legacy❤️

Orphanedpinkpetals · 2020-08-29T23:18:10+00:00

I love you all 😭 Hate to cry but you all have such beautiful hearts

Tigerlily86_ · 2020-08-29T21:53:54+00:00

A tragic loss. He was a good man and talented. May he Rest In Peace.

balladwilds · 2020-08-29T18:56:04+00:00

his death broke my heart. i can't stop crying, he was literally such a angel

harrohamtaro · 2020-08-29T19:30:27+00:00

I’m usually blasé about celebrity deaths but I found myself crying all day when I thought about Chadwick Boseman. He does seem like such a great guy and it makes me cry harder to think of all the LVM and NVM wasting space and air on this earth while the good die young.

buffalocoinz · 2020-08-29T21:01:00+00:00

I haven’t stopped crying in the last twelve hours 😭

Rip king Chadwick

Orphanedpinkpetals · 2020-08-29T23:12:34+00:00

This was nice of u

GlobalDynamicsEureka · 2020-08-30T06:37:24+00:00

Men have no excuse. This man was literally dieing. He looked good, worked hard, and volunteered. Don't give me none of that, "I'm too tired to go out or do anything."

jojoharris1 · 2020-08-29T23:04:11+00:00

These types are RARE

amiathrowaway2 · 2020-08-30T00:43:17+00:00

The dude in my book WAS a superhero.

lacyvulture · 2020-08-30T15:21:36+00:00

We lost a good one 💔 HVM

breadandbunny · 2020-09-01T12:28:03+00:00

I still can't believe it.

Stargazerlily425 · 2020-08-30T00:40:31+00:00

This is so sad. He was so young.

Typically, colon cancer advances very slowly and there are plenty of signs. I wonder if he just ignored them.
