Steve Bridges Obituary - Death Notice and Service Information

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Comic impressionist Steve Bridges, best known for impersonating former President George W. Bush, has died at home in Los Angeles.

The 48-year-old Bridges was found unresponsive by a housekeeper on Saturday. Coroner's official Craig Harvey says it is being investigated as an apparently natural death but an autopsy will be conducted, possibly on Tuesday.

The coroner's office says Bridges had no recent medical complaints and a statement on Bridges' website says his death came as a shock.

Bridges' George W. Bush impression made him a regular on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" and earned him an invitation to the White House in 2003.

In 2006 Bridges joined Bush in a comic routine at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington, D.C., and at a Ford's Theatre benefit.

You were an outstanding talent! I really enjoyed watching you. Your impressions of George Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were spot on! It is still hard to believe that you are gone! You will be missed! May you rest in peace!

Steve, I remember way back in the 80's you volunteering to help Linda and me with Junior High Sunday School. We always appreciated your help and loved your heart. Tom, Margarate and family, I am sorry that we were unaware of Steve's death until recently. Believe me when I say that Linda and I understand. We lost our precious son, Joshua back in 2006. I know none of us will ever truly get over such loss, but God and time will make the grief softer. We love you.

You were a great man Steve. Nothing to do with you comedy chops, which were awesome. People were drawn to you for who you were without the makeup. Love you Steve!
