Words expressed here can´t even begin to indicate how saddened my heart felt when I first read the news of Malcolm-Jamal Warner´s transitioning from this life to Paradise and still feel a void as if my own family and (we are) in Christ. My heartfelt condolences to Ms. Pamela Warner and kudos at the same time for your outstanding job as his mother and the values you instilled in him that was implemented throughout his works, life, and now legacy.
May the life Malcolm-Jamal lived speak for him and his legacy will live on through family, co-stars, friends, fans and all who followed, admired, loved and future generations who may imitate his works. Rest in Power/Paradise, Malcolm-Jamal Warner-for the exemplary life/legacy you left for generations to come to embrace...my thoughts/prayers will carry on for the family and all who are saddened and in awe; disbelief of this untimely life gone too soon from us all...2 Tim.4:6-8
Another Legend; yet gentle Giant has taken his rest...Rev. 14:13; Heb.4:9-10
Love to the Warner Family,
One of Malcolm´s many fans

Praying for the family and friends of Malcolm-Jamal Warner during this unimaginable loss. Such an amazing actor and from all accounts, just as amazing as a person. He was such a beautiful example of the best that humanity has to offer. So very grateful for his positive portrayals in every project that he was a part of. His Theo Huxtable character will forever be a part of our culture. His "Raptor" character was the very best part of "The Resident." Rest well, and know that you made an entire culture immensely proud.

My husband was station in Germany
When The Cosby show first aired. There was only one American TV station over there and nobody wanted to miss this show. It was a breath of fresh air for the American family station overseas. My husband and I had grown up watching Mr. Cosby and was truly excited to share his work with our very young daughter. Please note it didn't disappoint. Young Malcolm as well as the rest of the cast lived up to Mr. Cosby's tv image. Watching Malcolm grown with every season and beyond has been a life changing event. Malcolm Jamal Warner, you had reached the top of the mountain. Rip Thank you for all the Positivity you brought us. My prayers are with the family God gave him to you and you share him with us. Thank you

Although I did not know this man personally, he unknowingly provided a chance for me and my daughter to spend time together bonding while watching him in The Resident. We loved his character, Dr A. J. Austin, Triple Board Certified. He was such a pleasure to watch. What a beautiful smile he has still, now shining down from heaven above. We are so terribly sorry for the loss of this young man. Life is short, no doubt! I pray the love Malcolm Jamal Warner showed all who knew and loved him and the memories shared will provide some comfort as we all go forward. It is the future of us all to transition from this realm, and until that time we must live, love, and support one another each and every day. May God´s love surround family and friends of Mr Malcolm Jamal Warner until their Heavenly Reunion. A special heartfelt condolence to Malcolm´s daughter, wife and Mother and Father.

What a surreal and heavy week it has been, draped in an eerie cloud of loss. Malcolm-Jamal Warner finds himself grappling with an unsettling void, mourning not just comrades but icons who have shaped the cultural fabric of their times. The echoes of Ozzy Osbourne's wild anthems and the thunderous cheers for Hulk Hogan whose persona once lit up arenas, clash in his mind, leaving a cacophony of memories tinged with sadness. Each passage of the week feels like a cruel reminder of laughter turned to silence as beloved figures who danced on the edge of rebellion and heroism now rest in death's embrace. For Malcolm the weight of this shared grief becomes a poignant chapter in his life where fond recollections are now interwoven with melancholic reflection, illuminating just how delicate and fleeting our heroes truly are. Such a week, infused with both disbelief and aching nostalgia, leaves us all in a state of contemplation, asking how we can honor their legacies while reconciling our own loss.

You were just a few yrs older than me. When I watched the Cosby show you were like my age and I could relate to you and kinda like an older brother. We all loved the Cosby Show and without you it would not be the same. Thank you for the laughs. I also liked you in the " OJ " movie when you played A.C. Collins. You were a great actor and most importantly a good person. You will be greatly missed by all.

May you find comfort in knowing that he was loved by so many people who watched him grow up before our eyes. If I could take your pain away, I would. If I could find the words to say, I would. If I could turn your world around, I would. If I could pick you up when you are down, I would. I would turn your mourning into JOY! I would pray that God would heal your heart.
