I'm in absolute shock. Leslie Jordan died this morning. He was in a car accident, but it sounds like he had some sort of medical emergency, which caused the crash. He was 67. I'm heartbroken. I loved him Wow, I never expected to see this today. RIP. He was a really funny guy. I know. I gasped when I saw the news. I loved that he had that burst of SM fame during the pandemic. I can hear his voice in my head, "Well, sh!t. What are y'all doin'?"

OMG! I’m so sorry to hear this! He’s been such a joy to watch on his various TV shows and on his hilarious IG posts.

What an awful thing to open up and see first thing on Facebook. So sad. I loved him.

So gutted. My first reaction was 'on Diwali too' since he was such a light.

I read his credits in the obit bio and hadn't seen any of his shows, but I loved him. He will be missed. RIP

I loved him on Boston Legal, playing a murderer. His character whacked his mom over the head with a flying pan and killed her....and then his neighbor, played by Betty White, took him out in the same way. They were such a delight together.

I finally figured out where I saw Leslie Jordan on TV - CBB-UK - the series where Gary Bussy was the notorious guest. Leslie was so perfect.

I loved him Leslie's instagram post from Sunday. He answered the roll call on Monday. Live every day like it's your last; one day, it will be.

RIP, Jerry Lee Lewis. He sure could play the piano.

He had a lot of demons he was battling. Hopefully he has found peace.

I watched a few of his DWTS dances. He was really talented. He danced really well, but he also had that spark that made you want to watch him. It’s tragic that he could never beat his addictions.

I'm reminded of Layne Staley from Alice in Chains. Talented man but he couldn't live without heroin. He knew it was killing him. He was just too far into his addiction. I always want to think there is hope for everyone but sometimes, I think not everyone can be saved.

Poor Aaron. He struggled with so many demons.
One of my many trips to NYC with all my sisters and gf's (back in 2011) and we choose to see Aaron Off Broadway in the FANTASTICKS!
It was awesome and he was the lead. Simply a wonderful evening. I remember it like yesterday.
Now I am reading his neighbors while are sad that he passed they are happy he won't be living on their street anymore.
I guess from their comments he was very aggressive towards all of his neighbors.
Rest In Peace, Aaron.

I don’t doubt he was hard to be around, but his neighbors are totally classless to badmouth him when he’s barely gone and those who loved him are mourning.

SO many talented and young people who could not overcome their addictions, even after attempting to do so over and over it is so heartbreaking. Layne was not even 35 when he passed, Scott was in his 40s, not at all old IMO, and Aaron was the same age as Layne.

We saw him live many years ago. Laughed SOOOO hard. Fortunately, we were in the balcony, so we got to go home unscathed by watermelon juice, etc. Our kids went to see him a second time in their late teens. My daughter shocked me by commenting on the size of the bulge in the front of his pants. And then he pulled out a banana. LOL.

I'm not usually a fan of physical comedy, but Gallagher always had me laughing!

This news made me so sad. I loved him as Victor Kiriakis. He was such a great villain. Rest in Peace.

I watched Days regularly in the 1980's before I worked outside the home and remember when Victor entered the show. That character added so much to the storyline! He kept us guessing on whether he was a complete criminal or a reformed one turned into a nice guy.
I had never before connected that John Aniston was Jennifer's father.

The Jennifer I was referring to was John Aniston's daughter. I'll try to reword my post .
