One year after Bob Saget's death at the age of 65, his loved ones are remembering his incredible legacy — both on and off-screen.
On January 9, 2022, the Full House alum was found unresponsive in his room while staying at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Orlando. The late comedian had been on tour at the time, performing a standup show in Ponte Vedra the night before. Shortly after being discovered, the Orange County Sheriff's Office pronounced him dead at the scene. His cause of death was later determined as "head trauma."
While the actor's Full House co-stars and loved ones (like John Stamos and Kelly Rizzo) have posted rare moments throughout the year, they all commemorated the one-year anniversary of Bob's death with heartfelt tributes on Instagram.
John Stamos: "'The most lost day in our life is the day we don’t laugh.' It’s hard sometimes Bob without you, but we’ll try. We’ll keep loving and will keep hugging just like you want us to. I can’t believe it’s been a year, time flies when you’re grieving I guess."
Dave Coulier: "Bob could always bring out the 5th grader in me. I met him when I was just an unknown, 18 year-old standup at a small club in Detroit. We became instant brothers ... At some point today, I’ll think about how much I miss him and I’ll shed some tears. Then I’ll hear Bob’s voice, and it’ll make me laugh. Enjoy the gifts of life while they’re still here with you ... Tell those you love that you love them…and hug them like Bob Saget."
Jodie Sweetin: "Hi Bob…. It’s Jodie (the way you would start/end every text, voicemail or call, 'By the way, it’s Bob' as if there was any doubt). I just wanted you to know, I’ve thought of you every day for the past year. It’s just not the same without you with us, and I don’t think it ever will feel like that again. I wish you had been here over the last year, oh… there’s so many moments you were supposed to be here for. So many times I thought of calling you and thinking, 'What would Bob do in this moment?' Mostly the answer to that is 'make a joke about it …' So many times, just in my own life this year, that I wished I could hear you were proud of me. But I hear it anyway."
Candace Cameron Bure: "I stayed up for hours watching videos of Bob on my phone. Videos I couldn’t watch a year ago because it hurt too much. Last night they made me laugh 😂. They comforted me and warmed my heart. I watched them over and over and laughed so hard. I miss him so much and I’m grateful he was my friend for so many years. I love you, Bob ❤️ *now go hug a friend like Bob would."
Kelly Rizzo (Bob's wife): "One Year. Our hearts are so heavy. How could I not have talked to or seen my loving husband in a whole year? The surreal-ness never subsides. I’ve accepted the reality long ago but it still seems unreal when I see photos or videos of him so full of life. But there is one thing I carry with me every single day that makes this survivable. I AM THE LUCKIEST."
She continued: "I am the luckiest that I got to be his wife. I am the luckiest that I got to live with his warmth, and laughter, and brilliance, and love. I am the luckiest that I get to have his girls by my side. I am the luckiest that I got to watch him first hand help people, make them happy, and make the world a better place. Some people can live 1,000 lifetimes and never live a life as fully as he did. And to that I have to say, Well Done. You really won life, honey. And that is why I will be forever grateful for him and all the endless love he gave me, until my last day."
