Bernie Mac Dies at 50

Bernie Mac Dies at 50

Comedian Bernie Mac died of pneumonia at age 50 early Saturday morning.

His rep released this statement: “Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago-area hospital. No other details are available at this time. We ask that his family’s privacy continues to be respected.”

Mac, who was nominated for Emmys in 2002 and 2003 for The Bernie Mac Show, was admitted to Northwestern Memorial hospital for pneumonia on August 1 and was expected to make a full recovery.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Bernie, his family and friends.

RIP.

REST IN PEACE SWEET SOUL BERNIE IS IN A BETTER PLACE. LET US ENJOY HIS BODY OF WORK

May God Rest his Soul.

Another great actor from Chicago. This is sad news.

Hey #1: The fact that Bernie Mac was able to rise up above the tough poverty stricken gang ridden South Side of Chicago and accomplish so much is a testament to his TALENT. Get out of your little White Suburban pathetic life and GROW UP!

Thanks for making us laugh and giving hope to those who grew up in the hood…

You will be missed…

RIP B. Mac

ERIC: you are a heartless *******.

as for Bernie, thank you for those countless funny moments on the Bernie Mac show :) you will be missed dearly. I hope your family will get through this and that everyone will respect your need for privacy.

restinpeace.

wow #1 comment really? are the that inconsiderate of a human being? i personally never, i wouldn’t say a fan but got into his work but i do know that he was a decent man and doesn’t deserve that type of disrespect.

1st commenter, when a people dies at 50, it is always sad. it does not matter what he did in life.he was a good comic talent. rest in peace.

newport beach, 92660 @ 08/09/2008 at 11:48 am

What? Oh no, RIP Bernie. I loved you in Ocean’s. Number 1 you should go curl up and die.

This is sad and such a shock..Bernie Mac was the ****! He will be missed greatly. And to those who dont think he was in anything good then you didnt know the Macman.. The Bernie Mac show was a great family show, funny. The Kings of Comedy is a classic. Players Club Classic. Oceans 13 was good, etc.
We lost a good guy! RIP!

I am just in shock. I thought for sure he was going to pull though. Rest In peace, Bernie. You will be greatly missed.

that is so sad! may god bless his family

#1 - Hate to break it to you but you are not the center of the world.

Mac was entertaining, intelligent and well respected by his peers. He will be missed.

This is so sad.
Bring back the 90’s when unknowns were unknowns!! oh wasn’t life more simpler/happier back then? maybe being a celeb is a curse…

My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Bernie Mac. May God comfort you all and give you peace. Amen!

Good grief @ 08/09/2008 at 11:59 am

My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Don’t you think that’s a little bit rude, Eric? Have some sympathy.

rip…. he was what seemed to be a funny and nice guy.

It’s sad. RIP.

RIP. Though, I must say, I never really followed his career. I avoided Guess Who, which looked terrible.

Rest in Peace Bernie Mac. You will be missed.

@ Chica
A credit to his race? What does that mean? Can’t he be a credit to himself? When Heath died, did you say he was a credit to his race?

@ Saywhat?
How do you know # is white? He could easily be a black person trying to stir up sh!t, did you think about that? Next time, think before shooting your mouth off.

YOU WILL BE TRUELY MISSED

Skype, I did not say that(credit to his race). Someone else did.

#1 is an a-hole.

jbfangirl7 @ 08/09/2008 at 4:32 pm

omg. this is crazy! this is a shock. my prayers go out to his family and friends.

#130 and #1 (whose post was pulled down thank goodness) are the same person. a-hole, you are

… @ 08/09/2008 at 3:17 pm #130

Wow!!!! Your comment is EVIL at best! Just b/c you have a grudge against him doesn’t mean you should be happy that he’s passed. You know… i take it you’re “cuacasian”… Your kind makes your race look shameful and racial for posting crap like that. Sorry to say.

Rest in Peace Bernie Mac… Your talent will be missed!

My sincere condolences go out to his family and friends who have lost this remarkable man… he will be sorely missed.

TO JARED - Just a suggestion here… When deleting posts, could you perhaps leave the space blank or add: “due to {whatever reason} poster has been deleted.” rather than move everybody up 1 number. I, and others, get blasted from posters because of the original poster’s comments.
TO POSTERS - Please use name, NOT the number of whom you wish to bring down for their “horrible comments” - cause Dee’s comments were NOT at fault.

I’m truly grateful for all the laughter you’ve given me, thank you .May you rest in peace, thoughts go out to your loved ones.

Bernie Mac - stranger i never met

There’s something about death that is comforting. The thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life now.
………………………..Angelina Jolie

We’ve never met nor have seen your movies or TV sitcom. Your fans mourn your passing. They remember your accomplishments. You must have been an outstanding comedian !

That I failed to see your brilliance, would be my loss. Rest in peace, dear stranger. Heavens await your performance, that I regretfully missed. My loss that I didn’t share the laughter !

RIP Bernie.

RIP Bernie!! YOU ROCKED!! WE”LL MISS U AND ALL THE FUN AND LAUGHS YOU BROUGHT TO US!!

He will be greatly missed.

Thank you Bernie for making our world a brighter one because you were in it.

shoes4life @ 08/09/2008 at 6:00 pm

Friends, Colleagues Pay Tribute to Bernie Mac
Today 3:30 PM PDT by Jovie Baclayon

Hollywood woke up this morning to the news that actor-comedian Bernie Mac has passed away due to complications from pneumonia. He was 50.

As word spreads, tributes are pouring in from the funnyman’s friends and colleagues.

Brad Pitt: “I lament the loss of a ferociously funny and hardcore family man. My thoughts are with [his wife] Rhonda and their family. Bernie Mac, you are already missed.”

George Clooney: “The world just got a little less funny. He will be dearly missed.”

Chris Rock: “Bernie Mac was one of the best and funniest comedians to ever live, but that was the second best thing he did. Bernie was one of the greatest friends a person could have. Losing him is like losing 12 people because he absolutely filled up any room he was in. I’m gonna miss the Mac Man.”

Cedric the Entertainer: “It’s hard to put into words just how I feel and what a painful loss this is. Bernie was a brother, a friend and one of the comic masters of our time. Sharing the marquee with him during the phenomenon of the Kings of Comedy tour bonded us like family, and created a unique moment in comic history marking some of the most meaningful, memorable and fun times of our lives. His comedic approach was his own brand and will definitely stand the test of time. The level of his talent always inspired me and other comedians to ‘bring their A-game.’ I promise you that you never wanted to be the guy who had to follow Bernie’s set! As a husband and father, he was THE MAN and my thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will truly be missed, but so well remembered.”

Don Cheadle: “This is a very sad day for many of us who knew and loved Bernie. He brought so much joy to so many. He will be missed, but heaven just got funnier.”

Kelly Preston and John Travolta: “We are heartbroken. He will be deeply missed. He was a wonderful, kind and gentle man.”

Ocean’s Eleven costar Carl Reiner: “It’s a tremendous loss because of his age and the fact that he was such a vital, original human being. When I use the word ‘original’ I really mean it. He was like no other person I knew. He lived his life to the fullest, even when we were on the set of Ocean’s. He had his own little apartment and he cooked and invited people to lunch every day and he had food that was for everybody. He made very exotic things. His conversations were always different than any conversations I had with anyone else. They were very family-oriented; he talked about his wife and children with such love and it’s very hard to believe that he’s not with us anymore.”

Actress/comedienne Niecy Nash, who played Mac’s little sister on the hit television series The Bernie Mac Show and acted opposite him in the 2005 film Guess Who, said this about her friend and mentor: “His passing is such a major loss to the acting and comedy communities. Bernie Mac was the personification of the word ‘real.’ He kept it real. That kind of genuine spirit that he carried all the time cannot be easily duplicated, but I will do my very best to try.”

Fox Broadcasting Company and 20th Century Fox Television: “Bernie Mac was a gifted talent whose comedy came from an authentic and highly personal place. He was a tremendous live performer and a wonderful actor. Fox was proud to be the home of The Bernie Mac Show, and all of us at Fox and 20th Century Fox Television extend our deepest sympathies to his wife, Rhonda, and daughter, JeNiece.”

Jenifer Lewis: ”Bernie’s style of comedy was bold, courageous and revolutionary—I never knew anyone who loved to be funny as much as Bernie. He will most definitely be very missed.”

Samuel L. Jackson, Mac’s costar in the November 2008 flick Soul Men: “It goes without saying that Bernie was one of the preeminent comedians of our generation. He was also an attentive husband, a great father and loving grandfather. I feel blessed to have shared years of friendship with Bernie Mac and I’m honored to have finally costarred with him in what I consider to be his finest cinematic acting achievement. My sincere prayer is that his family will be comforted by the warmth of love from all of us who knew and respected this man.”

Just to point out the FACTS @ 08/09/2008 at 8:14 pm

gosh rest in peace…. probably one of the best comedians out there! a great actor….you’ll definitely be missed. ill never forget his role in transformers or other films, he was so awesome….god , RIP we all love you for ever

RIP you will be missed!!

My first reaction was:
OMG
I can’t believe it. He was fantastic, especially in the Ocean’s movies.
Condolences to his family.

He will be dearly missed.

this is such a shock. I didn’t even know he was 50.
You will be missed Bernie!

I’m shoked! My condelences to the family.

My condelences to the family.

I ont know him but still may his test b successful

Rest in Peace, Bernie.

Una pena. Raro que se fuera tan luego.

What sad news and what a shock. Loved him in the Ocean movies. May he RIP.

frequent visitor @ 08/09/2008 at 9:37 pm

What a shock. How very sad when someone seems to have achieved so much to be then cut down at still an early age (we’re the same age and trust me 50 WAS old once upon a time but not now in 2008). I had pneumonia once and I believe it was mostly because I smoked. One thing I learned is the combination of smoking when ailing with a lung infection or flu can turn into pneumonia that at best will leave you with scarred and sensitive lungs. Don’t smoke.

vickifromtexas @ 08/09/2008 at 9:40 pm

rip bernie mac. God comfort his family. he was a great talent.

I knew something didn’t sound right when they said he was doing better but would be in hospital for weeks more. My condolences to his family. He was a funny man, but more importantly, people who know him said he was a great husband and father.

RIP you’ll be missed .My prayers to you and your family..God bless

By all accounts, Bernie was a wondeful person to work with and supportive of other actors be they new or in the business for awhile. As for the racist douchbag comments (and yeah I know its a white person) you obviously don’t know the mans comedy routine because it was not all about the differences between white people and black people. That was D. L Hughley moron. Bernie was a great actor and if you ever saw any of his work you would know that. His sitcom was based on his own life. He did take in his sister’s children when she had problems. That was the kind of human being he was. Something people like you will never comprehend.

RIP Mr. Bernie Mac.

bernie mac rest in peace, make God laugh..

LOVEFORFOUR @ 08/09/2008 at 11:35 pm

He was very funny and will be missed. R.I.P.

Wow, I can’t believe it? He was truly a comedy legend and will be definately missed.

Rest in Peace Bernie!!!

I am in shock just watched oceans13 the other day god bless and my prayers to his family.

When I first heard the news I had been awake like 2 minutes. I still couldn’t believe that he had passed. I thought he was hysterical in Charlie’s Angels Full Throttle and of course in his TV show.

He was a funny and talented man who went far too soon. My thoughts and prayers are with his family in this difficult time.

R.I.P. Bernie

He will always be one of the greatest kings of comedy and he will be very missed.

RIP.

Bernie Mac, Reggie White and James Michael Gardner.
You may ask what these people have in common? It is an autoimmune system dease called sarcodisis. It attacks mainly the lungs but can cause inflammation in any of the body’s organs. I have had it for over ten years. It flared up last winter and I got pnuemonia and almost died. There were three days where I sat up to sleep and I prayed hard for each and every breath. That incident changed my life, the way I think about life and myself and others. I am one blessed man. I made it through it by the grace of God. I wished it had been the same for Bernie Mac and Reggie White.
God Bless you Bernie and Reggie and your families.

James M. Gardner
