Watching you in action as we speak! I don´t think viva la bam would been half the success it was if it wasn´t for you. Don Vito is a legend and American icon for all of us growing up with you in our homes in the early 00´s. May you rest in peace in the house of the lord with your beautiful parents. Rip Vincent Roy Margera! Thank you for your service sir.

It is with great sorrow we hear of Don Vito's passing. He always brought a smile where ever he went. We never laughed at him, we laughed with him.

You don't know me. Vincent never knew me. But he did make me smile when I was down. He made me laugh when I felt like ending it all. He helped to save a life.

They never tell you that adulthood means saying goodbye to pieces of your childhood over and over again. Somehow, though, that feels so much easier than saying goodbye to Vincent "Don Vito" Margera.

So I won't.

I'll just say that my thoughts are with his friends, his family, and his friends and they always will be.

Vito, thanks for the memories. See you in the next life.

I would like to express my condolences to Pop-Pop, Phil, April, Bam, Jess and the rest of Vince's family. I was looking forward to his return to showbiz, and feel a deep regret and loss at his passing. I hope the family is comforted knowing that Vince had so many fans and friends who truly cared about him. May he rest in eternal peace.

This man was an unbelievably large part of my adolescence. He provided countless hours of entertainment for me and hundreds of thousands of others. Although he portrayed the token 'boob' character when on television, i always got the impression that Vince was a lot more intelligent than most gave him credit for. Some would say that to remembered for onscreen antics such as his would be an embarrassment, not me. I think he helped change what 'funny' means and was a perfect compliment to a generation that loved him. My condolences go to the Margera family. Phil from Northern Ireland.

Matt Ashton

I never got the chance to meet Vincent but from over a decade of watching the CKY and Viva La Bam series he has never failed to make me laugh, through this i have shared these laughs with family and friends and created some great memories, i am happy to say Vincent was a big part of that. With this i know he will still be making me smile years down the line and i will have him in memory.

Thanks for the laughs Vito! RIP brother.

Condolences to Family and Friends.
