Hear, hear.
<3
full of why. Hurts.
I’m still in shock but these lolcats help a lot. This is just so very very sad. I do hope he’s at peace wherever he is.
So so sad
Me too, I put A Knights Tale on top of my Netflix queue, RIP Heath
Dis deff gives me has a sad also. Gud aktor. Me hope you have wingz nao.
We all hope that. Find happiness and hope now, dear Heath.
I was too sad too write anything yesterday, this is a beautiful tribute.
What a great talent, his performance in Brokeback Mountain was so real and touching. May he rest in peace.

Katty Mennonight Theolojian
BTW – I meanz no disrespekt wid dis…
only loluv
sinseerly
Peas!
How is it that nothing made me cry about any of this sad stuff but YOUR statement did, oh lolz.
i lost all respect for heath ledger when he was in brokeback mountain… lulz, he CANT has cheezburger
Wow, you lost respect for an actor because he was in a movie about homosexuality? You’re a disgusting person.
Agreed.
Silent – wish you’d remain that way. What a sad, horrible person you are.
i second that.
I third that. I gained more respect for him because of Brokeback Mountain. He was a serious and dedicated actor who wasn’t afraid to take on complicated of controversial roles. He took on a role which he knew would bring him many insults and slurs, and he did it with all the heart and talent of any role. He was great and I will miss him and his movies very much.
Ceiling Cat gets snorgles from Heath in hevun naow…
What a wunnerful mind pikchur tihs makes wif ceiling cat n snorgles..
Gibs meh teh warm n fuzzees!
me gonna miss Heath muchos – i has a sad =”””’[
So young, so too soon gone. RIP the talent and the too young to handle it.
Been mostly lurkin, but YAY fer th chheezfriends fer the warmfuzzies and the sads where sads is called fer. So young, so sad. I am now very happy to be nobody. Mostly lurks, but luvs yu all.
This be a nice tribute to Heath. It is sad to lose someone, even someone we don’t really know personally, but still like (How many of the cheezpeep were sad when James Doohan died?). And to remember the person this way for a group of cat-lovers is nice. Brings a smile and a tear. When I go to other side of Bridge, would make me happy to know my loved ones can look at a funny picture of a cat and warmly think of me.
I hope the great Cheezes will do these tributes again, when needed.
Here, here!
I agree. Last night I was just too stunned to think, and it’s still hard to believe. This picture really made me sniffle and also smile. Poor thing.
Oh, bunniwaz! Wut a byootifull message!
Pleeze too no longur bee lurkin! U shud noe bai now, on DIS site, u r NOT teh “Nobody!” Wee sellabrates ebburybodees cause dey are sumbodees! Luvs too U TOO, bunniwaz!

{{{{{{{{{{{{buggin2go}}}}}}}}}}
Heath Ledger iz nawt ded–he haz meerlie pass’d on 2 anuvver plain of eggs-his-tunce. I hopes he is having fun…
Sadness… I has it.
sadness, i has i too:(
peace to you heath.
Agreed.
hmm, possibly in bad taste today?
it’s a repost of a pic posted originally in october…eesh
Ya. Dis is on purpurse to pay our respecks.
I was afeerd that kitteh lover comments wud be bigot.
I’s so glad peoples can has heart.
Thankz, cheezburger, fur posting dis. Ai beleeve we awl needed it.
None that I can see in the post. I suggest waiting a few hours. If it’s bad taste you’re looking for, I’m sure some douche will offer it in the form of a comment.
Look under the captioned picture. There is a tasteful report of the death and an attractive photo of the actor.
BTW and FYI, I have yet to see a comment on this site from “some douche.” Well, maybe I made that statement based on out of date info.
There are a few. I’m ignoring them as best I can.
Wondering if the “stars kitteh” will make an appearance, would be appropriate too.
Where do you hide to have your Heef?
Oh KBARES. What a lovely thought. At first I didn’t know what you meant. That would be purrfekt!
That kitteh profile – clean and beautiful – staring in awe at the heavens full of stars.
Now that you have mentioned it – if it is not posted, we can at least all think of it.

Nao evereewun can see what yoo ment.
most incredible eyes!
‘is-fulla-stars” kitteh is my computer wallpaper now…..
mine tew! : )
This picture makes me think of the title of Thomas Wolfe’s first novel, “Look Homeward, Angel”. I am probably even more sad today about this young, talented actor, and father, just knowing that despite his success, he was hurting. It seems that the schedules he kept and the stress involved had exhausted him, and even though he had so much to live for, such promise, he is gone. We don’t know why, but it’s my prayer that he’s in heaven knowing only joy. God bless him, and those who will miss him.

Good Christ, Man! With a name like that and a comment like that, what are you trying to do, drop all our hearts off the Grand Canyon?
Have a care, and think about what you post!
This made me laugh to myself a little…
Bubbashomin,
He also starred in “The Patriot” as Mel Gibson’s eldest son, and in my favorite role as Will Thatcher, the humble thatcher’s son who became the champion knight of medeivel times…
Handsome, 28, talented, by all accounts a nice guy and seemingly healthy … sooo sad.
Best wishes to his little girl and his family in Australia.
And don’t forget the short-lived series set in ancient Britain called “Roar.” He played a reluctant leader/hero-to-be of a band of Celts. He was only 16 years old at the time and he was so talented and gorgeous….I was thrilled to see him do so well later. I am so sad and dismayed to see such a wonderful talent lost, like River Phoenix, and sad for his little baby too.
So berry berry sad. Whut a shokking loss, fer awl ob us. Hoo noes whut wunnerful films he wulda made. Awl lost.
It berry mush remined me of River Phoenix two. Moar sadness.
Mi hart goes out to awl ob hims frends an fambly.
I watched ‘Roar’ all the time when I was a kid. That’s what made me first heart him muchly so. Yesterday, I was telling everyone about how he was the first actor I can remember having an affinity for, and that was because of ‘Roar’.
I thought I was the only person who’d ever seen it. Thank you.
I remember Roar…I was sad when it was cancelled.
always sad when talent is taken away so soon..
ai tink u kan buy “roaor” DeeVEeDee….
Rest in Peace Heath, you were a great actor.
Very sad no matter what the reason…RIP Heath…

Posted with respect and sympathy, the love letter from A Knight’s Tale (wonderful movie, see it if you haven’t!):
It is strange to think, I haven’t seen you since a month. I have seen the new moon, but not you. I have seen sunsets and sunrises, but nothing of your beautiful face. The pieces of my broken heart are so small that they could be passed through the eye of a needle. I miss you like the sun misses the flower; like the sun misses the flower in the depths of winter. Instead of beauty to direct its light to, the heart hardens like the frozen world your absence has banished me to. I next compete in the city of Paris, I will find it empty and in the winter if you are not there. Hope guides me, that is what gets me through the day and the night. The hope that after you’re gone from my sight, it will not be the last time that I look upon you.
gremlin, *sniff* taht iz reelee byootiful. An too, too sad.
an so we go forth – remembering anew to treasure awl taht we hav. . .
i has a big sad
thank you gremlin – it’s been so long since i’ve seen ‘a knight’s tale,’ but now i want to have a heath movie marathon in my jammies. what a loss for everyone. i feel horribly for little matilda.
Mebbee they be ib heer…but for teh mostly part, all I see is an outpouring of caring and sad acceptance. Personally, I wuz alwayz proud of Heath for doing that moovee. Took lots of teh brave…I fink him doing it helped lots of peepulz find strength to come out – whether as gay, or just find courage to be themselves.
I’m PROUD of all cheezfrnds!!! This is a most amazing, wonderful, open and accepting group!
‘Course, whaddya want from folks who lurves teh kittehs…kinda got to be…
is prowd owf awl chezfrens too! gibs me wahrm fuzzzeez to no gud peepel r heer.
Is no longur 10 fings i h8 ’bout u. Is nao MENY fings wee will miss ’bout Heef…
Rest in Peace Heath, and may you continue to follow your stars.
follow your stars, best comment ever : )
I don’t know about best comment ever, but thank you.
The following poem is an author unknown one that my sister found a copy of a long time ago stuck in a book. The words are from about 500 AD, roughly, and were taking from an ancient memorial marker. Whenever I am confronted with grief I read these words. May they help to bring a sense of comfort.
I am the Life and the Light and the way.
The earth is my garden.
Each of the souls I plant as seeds
Germinates and flowers in it’s season
And in each I am fulfilled.
There is no cause for grief
When a blossom fades
But only rejoicing for the beauty it held
And praise that my will is done
And my plan served.
I am one with all creatures
And none is ever lost
But only restored to me
Having never left me at all.
For what is Eternal
Cannot be separated from it’s Source.
I am with you all,
And each of you is a channel for my Light.
Feel my love
Enfold you now and evermore.
Beautifil, I had not heard that before. Thank you!
Yer welcome.
That’s lovely, Nene. New one on me – thanks.
What a sad poem. *sniffle*
i was hangin in pretty good until i read that one comment.
instant lump in my throat, as that’s one of my favourite movies… not just of Heath’s but, in general.
and as for the ‘first thought’ when i was told, i thought of River as well. such a shame, such a loss.
my heart goes out to his family.
“All the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude.” S’wut I thot furrst.
purrfect quote for this young man. Sleep well, Heath.
even toh i donnoh liek dat he played in brokbak mtn., he was a grait actur, an he will shurly be missed!!
we lub yoo, heaf.
epic lulz!
Dude he died… wtf
Plz do not feed teh trolls.

Rest in peace Heath Ledger. You were a great actor and have died too young. I can’t believe he’s dead. You never heard bad press about him; no drug problems, tantrums or anything. I feel sorry for his little girl having to grow up without him. He was great in Monster’s Ball.

Jess gitz heer 2 seez mah cheezfrenz an haz gud lolz…
…only to see that a very talented young actor, who just finished work on a major movie that I’m looking forward to seeing, has passed on.
Truly, truly a loss to the film industry.
Rest in peace, mate. God be wi’ ye.
“Even when you died, the press still hounded you”
This is a tragic loss of a very talented young man and father (though all such losses are tragic, I agree) and it makes me very angry that it is being reported as a “death from drug overdose” as if he were on crack or something. He was ill, and taking medicine. It’s bad (and sad) enough when people are actually chemically enslaved but there’s no evidence of that here. Just more of what seems to have been an uncomfortable “relationship” with the media.
RIP, Heath. God bless you, Matilda (and your mum).
Second rant tonite, sorry guys, I just am feeling strongly about things.
I bet many of us agree with you strongly : )
U can has cheezburger in teh Hevin nao.
Onlee da good dai yung (_ _)
Teenage mourning in progress tonight. Heart throb Heath Ledger. It is sad. It is tragic. Death makes me cry too, but I didn’t know him personally and I guess I never drooled over him while drawing his name inside of hearts or writing my name out as MRS. Heath Ledger…so it’s unlikely I’ll wear black and cry into my pillow. Still, I’ll say a pray for those close to him and I anticipate my teenage daughter’s life will return to normal by this weekend’s semi-formal dance.
Duz it hurt too bee u?
amenz kafleen. dere is nofing wrong wif does of us wif hearts mourning de untimely passing of someone. iz what makes us good peoplez.
no haz to drewl obber sumbudy to feal mowch sads at der untimelee passing. dat iz nawt a trivial teenage emowshun, jus a kynd aynd karing wun.
Well, BratGirl (what an appropriate username), you are obviously very mature and sophisticated. Congratulations.
The rest of us mourn the loss of youth and talent.
Well said, Dr. cat!!
BratGirl, why you sarcastic about people’s feelings of loss? Whether Heath was known by someone personally or not, it was his job to make us feel like we knew him, and he, apparantly, did it well.
If his wife/family were in here posting feelings of grief, I would hope you would have more understanding. Let those who feel saddened by this loss express it here, and be comforted here.
After all, the more people you know, the more who’ll mourn you when you go!! He was known by many….
Ai be 39 yeers oald.
An still I has teh sad.
Doan’t unnerstand haow yew can heer of 28 year oald father who dye suddinly and not feel teh sorrie.
To Heath and all Those who Mourn
Oh, to have the soft love of floof,
and the firm love of lickin tongue,
from a creature so dear and divine
as a cat.
Oh, to feel the soft love of heart,
and the firm hug of love
from friends so dear
and true.
May my love abide in your heart
and mind and keep you safe
from harm—that you’ll never
doubt or feel dispare–
that you have great worth as
a child of God, a creation so
special and unique; without you
our world is not whole.
You are missed.
Kitkay – that is so beautiful. Thank you so much for posting this.
I mourn not only the loss of a great actor, just at the beginning of his career, but all the wonderful performances he will now never be able to delight us with.
I mourn all the joys of life he will now miss – and for all his loved ones, who won’t be able to share all of fun and love they would have had with him.
“For of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: ‘It might have been!’” from Whittier’s “Maud Muller”
thank-you so much, Janet. One takes a big risk when one shares deep, poinyent feelings—I opened the “reply” window, and just let my keyboard to where it wanted to. The poem has more than one layer—the grief of loss, and also the mental grief that brings a person to inflict this on himself (though, in Heath’s case, it is not clear that it was suicide). I have such empathy for those who suffer, and I wish they could feel an abiding love to sustain them, and a firm sense of the worth of their soul and being.
so sorry to hear about Heath – such a talented actor.
Ceiling cat take care of him now…
Not in bad taste at all, but quite nice. A lovely tribute to a lovely man.
RIP, Heath, and may your family be watched over, esp. your little Matilda. Bless you.
rip heath
I was so sad to hear about this.
The first movie of his that I saw was “A Knight’s Tale”. He was like Errol Flynn reborn. He was so very talented and so very promising. I remember being taken by how very quiet, serious and thoughtful he seemed whenever he was interviewed. I realize that the Lolcat stuff centers on “Brokeback Mountain” but he was in a variety of other things- “Brothers Grimm,”"Monster’s Ball,” “Casanova,” “I’m Not There” and too few more, I’m afraid. Even if “Brokeback” isn’t for you (I thought it was OK myself) there is probably something else he did that would appeal to you. Also, think about the courage it took to make that movie and make that character live the way he did. This was a very gifted man who has left us far, far too soon.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family, especially his little one, and with his soul.
Don’t forget “10 Things I Hate About You” his American Debut movie.
I approve.
Of all the places online to see a tribute, I did not expect one here, but it touched me the most.
I agree. Heath will be missed much by my entire household. It’s always sad to see a young rising start die and this one just happened to be my favorite.
(Buys everybody a slice of cheescake with heath bits sprinkled on it in memoriam)
Wut iz dis heef bits? It sownd liek gud memorium but no want eet him.
*iz confoozed, and still has a sad*
A Heath Bar be a candee bar wif chococolates adn I tinks caramel and I tinks nutz and is berry gud on eyescream. Is also gud on cheezcake.
Heef bits = Heath Bits = tastee snax (chocolate covrd toffee) gud fer sprinkles on desserts
I is a Heath. (Maiden name.) Is ok if peepuls wunts too sprinkul dem in memorium. A sweet an tuching thot, I theenk.
Yes it ess toffee bits dat taste gud. Long ago Iz had Heef triboot night wif frends, we eeted Heef bits on teh cheezcakes and wacched his moovies. Fink eye will do agin soon as a gudbye =(
Me, too, megan. This tribute, and the comments, actually made me burst into tears. I has a big sad.
I has a very , very big sad.
He was one of my favorite actors
And I hopes ceiling cat’s takin’ good cares of him.
luvs him
Ceiling cat – you’ve got a good one, take care of him.
Awww, dat was a sweet post.
I has bad sads baot Heath. And wun odder think. He sayd he sleep liek 2 howers at nite for week when he playing joker becaws joker waz “psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy”. I tinks that ebil of that kind haz claimed ‘nother victim. He get inside ebil head and need moar armor to protec self so could get out of ebil hed. Mebbe is hazard for gud acturs. It berry berry sad. Mebbe we awl needs remembering to have armor when going where is big ebil.
Kitteh is gud armor sometimes. An ceeling cat. and lurv.
all you kitteh peoples make bestes memoriam I ever heerd. {{{{{{{{{{hugs to you awl}}}}}}}}}} thxmebbebai.
Dis worree mee too. He wurkd bery hard on dis karakter, an I worree dat it broke sumthin inside hims.
Hee muss hab been vereh gentul an speshul man too hab been dat affected by teh ebil Jokur.
How speshullee sad an thot provoking.
… but what an enlightening fact about mr. ledger. apparently he was such a compassionate and deeply feeling soul that just pretending to be a psychopath was personally troubling to him. that he was willing to go to these lengths and yet so disturbed by what he found speaks volumes both about his character and his commitment to his work.
that he has apparently touched so many people is a testament to his talent and dedication to his profession. actors are in the ultimate service profession – they sometimes endanger their lives and souls in order to bring us entertainment and enlightenment. my heartfelt thanks to one who always seemed intent on bypassing the banal goal of becoming ‘movie star’ (and indulging in being a bad boy, trouble maker or prima donna) on the way to being a great actor and bringing pleasure into the lives of many through his performances.
sick in his body (from pneumonia) and in his heart (the insomnia caused by his work) it sounds like he had a terrible accident. the world is a poorer place for it.

Thank you for helping my heart heal. I love this site, I love Heath, I love BBM and I love that you’ve paid tribute so wonderfully to him. we’ve lost someone very special. hugs for everyone.

hopes he finds moar luff where he be now
much missingz will be had
If anyone lives in Seattle,Washington USA;they are probably familiar with the commercials for Stereo Wherehouse.They have commercials that are suppose to be funny and the last one was based off of Heath’s character in Brokeback Mountain.I saw this commercial a few days ago.Its odd,I saw this commercial Sunday Night and I couldn’t sleep at all…wondering what Heath would think of the commercial.I iz berry sad nao.R.I.P Heath.
i misses my heath. no more of his hawtness in teh movies. so sad.
I’ve loved everyone of his movies. He’ll be much missed. When I heard the news I hoped that it was some lame joke made to boost sales and coverage for the upcoming Batman movie. I’m not a screaming fan girl but I literally was nauseous and ready to cry when I heard the news in class. God Bless you Heath. <333333
RIP Heath.
we willz misses yew.
Dis maeks hart broked.
— In all seriousness, I was disappointed in the revamping of the Joker, but that didn’t cloud me from realizing he was an incredible talent, a pretty face that at first must’ve caused some disbelief as to just how much he had inside to give.
This has always been my poem of choice for those who have passed unfortunately, by Edith Thomas. R.I.P., gorgeous.
“You think I am dead,”
The apple tree said,
“Because I have never a leaf to show -
Because I stoop,
And my branches droop,
And the dull gray mosses over me grow!
But I’m all alive in trunk and shoot ;
The buds of next May
I fold away -
But I pity the withered grass at my root.”
“You think I am dead,”
The quick grass said,
“Because I have parted with stem and blade;
But under the ground
I am safe and sound
With the snow’s thick blanket over me laid
I am alive, and ready to shoot,
Should spring of the year
Come dancing here -
But I pity the flower without branch or root”
“You think I am dead,”
A soft voice said,
“Because not a branch or root I own!
I never have died,
But close I hide,
In a plumy seed that the wind has sown.
Patient I wait through the long winter hours;
You will see me again -
I shall laugh at you then,
Out of the eyes of a hundred flowers.”
Pardon the double-post – I meant unexpectedly, not unfortunately.
Thank you for sharing the lovely and comforitng poem.

RIP Heath, our favourite Perth boy. You did us proud kiddo.
I hope this doesn’t repost, I don’t see it, but it just went away without me sending it.
What I was saying, is that I am amazed that there are so many posts from people that I don’t recognize. It says a lot for ICHC that so many people are willing to speak up during such a sad time.
It has been very touching reading through the heart felt messages.
Fank yew.
{{{{{{{{{{To Awl ov U}}}}}}}}}}
Romeow – that is exazctly what I have been thinking. I knew MANY people just look at the pictures and never read the comments – but I had NO idea that so many also read the comments! Besides the commenters, I mean.
The number of people who have taken our dear CC into their hearts and minds – so many wonderful concept – receiving Heath with soft soft furry arms – maekin biskits and purring in his lap – I have been very moved indeed.
i always read the comments…along with the pictures, the comments also always give me a smile and a laugh. i’ve just been too shy to comment before, i guess? thanks to all for such beautiful posts. he was a beautiful person and he will be missed
i has a big sad.
I often read the comments as well, and have posted maybe twice. I find ICHC to be a smart, warm-hearted, and entirely entertaining community, with lots of silliness and many clever comments…and sensitive ones, too. Even though I don’t comment often (lolspeak is still hard for me), I feel like a member of the community anyhow, even if I’m mostly on the sidelines.
I was shocked by the news yesterday, and as someone said upthread, didn’t expect ICHC to have a tribute. But it’s been very touching, and cathartic. So many kind and compassionate people, expressing kind and compassionate thoughts…
Deer kittysniffles and warrior rabbit –
Don’t be afraid to post if you want to. I was shy about it too – and then one day I put my toe in the water – and everyone said “jump in, the water’s fine,” and I did!!! So much fun. Just join uz – why not???
and warrior rabbit – ai think ai rememberz yur nayme – verree charming!!! You do not have to speak lolspeak – I didn’t at first, either – because I was sure I would just make a hash ov eet. Just jump in – and work your way into whatever you feel comfortable with. You must know that several regular peepl do plain speek – dusn’t matter.
I’ve been visiting ICHC for about 4 months now, but this is my first time really commenting too. While it’s a sad reason to get to know the community, I’m glad to see that cheezepeeps have soft large soft hearts. And I agree, being able to read everyones comments while they make me wanna cry all over again, also help to bring peace and healing.

IT’s the 1st tiem ive commented 2 but u all seem so nice i thort id joyn in (sry mai lolspeek iz a bit laem)
At first, I thought brokback kittehs – lulz. then I scrolled down and literally went ‘Wait. WHUT??’ I almost can’t believe this. I liked him best as one of the brothers grimm, personally, and I only just found out he was working with Terry Gilliam again. It’s terrible that the pressure of being famous had to do with extinguishing such a talent, even if it was an accident.
Nice tribute. Made me smile. RIP Heath.
I has a hurty sad now.
Phunie, did not crai yisterdai wen herd neuws, but iz craiin now reedin beootifl messjs from cheezpeeps.
I’m the same. I had a similar experience a couple of years ago when someone in a band I follow committed suicide. I had never met him, and although it was sad, it wasn’t like it affected me personally. What did affect me personally was watching people who had been close to him suffering, and that was very difficult. This is the same thing really, I was shocked to hear the news but have been very moved by the posts here. Hugs to all my cheezfrends who are sad today (for this or any other reason).
Sorry, started to do this in lolspeak but it didn’t feel right.

WITH LOVE XXXX
thank you everyone for the nice caring comments!!
i was actually really surprised to see this many beautiful comments, seeing as this is an open blog. (this counts as blog, yes?) i was half expecting there to be a bunch of fighting and complaining over his role in brokeback mountain, and i’m glad i was wrong!!!
thank you everyone for your comments!
and RIP heath!!
I loved the maturity, intensity, energy and passion that he brought to films like 10 things I hate about you, A Knight’s Tale and Brokeback Mountain. I think he would eventually have become an actor of the calibre of Sean Connery or James Earl Jones who don’t need to be the star to steal a film. He would have had many more Oscar nominations and we will all be the poorer for not seeing the films he would have made.
The caring and thoughtful comments in this thread (and the LOLpic itself) are a wonderful memorial to the man and his work. Thank you cheesepeeps for being such caring peeplz and for sharing that lovingness with us all.
*big snorgles fur awl teh cheezpeeps*
This whole thing is beautiful. I came here for a much needed laugh after having a very strange day and I came away with something else. I think he would’ve loved this. We all have our unique ways of saying goodbye. This is one of the best.
<3 from Australia.
p.s Take care of him ceiling cat.
has so big a sad. luff u cheezpeeps.
It is a strange, sad world we live in. A man who, by all accounts, was a healthy, clean-living, loving father…is now gone before he even reaches 30. In other parts of Hollywood, there are a few young folks with so much LESS to offer the world, who are the farthest from clean & healthy you can guess, who are STILL running amok, winning awards & attention from the world.
Life truly does seem unfair at times. However, I have to admit, if I were in charge ‘up there’, I’d prefer Heath around other than most other celebrities. He is in the best place ever now; my heart goes out to his little girl Matilda, who’ll never have her daddy hold her again…a daddy who loved her VERY much.
RIP Heath, and God bless you, little Matilda.
I was really shocked to hear the news and I didn’t believe it at first. I’m very sad that he passed, and I pray for his beautiful soul and his beautiful family. He always put out such good movies!
I’m not terribly sad about his passing. I only saw him in The Patriot and the Brothers Grimm, and in both of those, he was only a mediocre actor.
But he was still a human being. Someone with family and friends who loved him. That should be enough to make it qualify as ’sad’.
it no about “ack-tor”. it about real person, wit real famiwy, and real feewings. sad.
one be ack-tor, not make sad for pass away?
not evwy-one has a empafee. dats okay.
Wow! I wonder how many will be saddened by the eventual death of someone who judges the loss of 28-year-old father by whether he knew him, and how good an actor he was.
I haz a sad too.
Rest in peaze, lovely man Heath. From my heart–
Here’s a candle
lit with loving
thoughts and caring for those weeping.
It burns warmly,
like your memory.
Never gone, but gently sleeping.
Whever or not I c all his filmz, he will b missd. He was gud daddy to his beyutiful littl girl, and he wuz somebodies son.
RIP Heath. My sympathies to your family.
I luv dis place. So much mor respect, luv, and kindness den dose messij boards.
iz first time to comment ….such a sad time for all caring cheezies ….
saw brokebak kittehs first time last week and thinkz Heeth wud say

and condolences to his family and friends.
As someone who loves movies, i recognize talent and mourn its loss

Hi there
Just wrote a article in my blog about it too. Shame it is in Portuguese so not sure if you will be able to read it through.
Have a nice day.
Cheers

Destined to become one of our great actors. It is so sad when the pressures of the entertainment field are so great that it can literally ruin a person’s life. I often wonder if many of these celebrities knew the future, if they would pursue this profession. So many lives ruined–so much to offer.
Rest in peace, my friend. It is so sad that you had such a short life. Codolences to the family.
So sad, such a young man with so much talent.

That was nice to post this :] REST IN PEACE HEATH! You will be greatly missed!
RIP Heath.
hahaha
lol
Nice.
indeed a shame.
It still doesn’t seem possible. He had so much left to do.
i have a huge sad now, just heard about it this morning, but coming here & reading all the lovely comments makes it better
RIP Heath, i loved your movies & hoped for many more :*(
P.S. i never saw BBM but Knights Tale is one of my all-time favorites
I’m not usually one to mourn the passing of a celebrity. Mostly because they are all drugged up, narcissistic jerks. Or crotch-spreading, baby-making embarrassments. But Ledger was different. He carried himself with dignity. He made movies that mattered and he kept himself out of the negative eye of the spotlight. I admired him for taking on the role he did in Brokeback and even enjoyed his performance when I first saw him in “10 Things I Hate About You”. Even though I never knew him, it’s still weird when someone my own age, who became an adult in public as I was in privacy, passes away so suddenly. Wherever his spirit is, I hope he learned the lesson he was meant to learn before passing on to his next life.
Dear Mister Oshcosh – the difference is – Heath was not a celebrity. He was a genuine hard working, very talented actor. Who happened to become famous because of his work.
The people you refer to are mostly spoiled non-talents, I think. Of course, the occsasional really big talent (Judy Garland is a great example) will also blow it – so many simply cannot handle all the pressure that comes with it.
I only evr seen A Knight’s Tale, but i has a big sad. RIP Heath we will always luvs u!
True human emotion can only be fully expressed by the poignancy of lol cats.
Rest in peace Heath. He will always be one of my favorite actors. It’s still hard to believe. His daughter doesn’t have a daddy anymore – how sad.
Rest in Peace Heath – I hope your soul and spirit are in a better place now. He will always be one of my favorite actors. I fell in love with him when I saw A Knight’s Tale. I loved him in BBM and I can not wait to see him as the Joker. My thoughts are with his family – his little girl doesn’t have a daddy anymore – how sad.
I wanted to share this with all of you.
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am the song that will never end.
I am the love of family and friend.
I am the child who has come to rest
In the arms of the people who know me best.
When you see the sunset fair,
I am the scented evening air.
I am the joy of a task well done.
I am the glow of the setting sun.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
“Do not stand at my grave and weep”
—- Mary Frye, 1932
Angela – thanks for that beautiful poem
Mrrphh – yur doin a grate job wif teh propurr creditz!!! Yay, Mrphh!!!
w0w, Mrphh, how did U become so literate in teh poetry department? I approve!
Heath was my teen daughters first celebrity crush in 10 Things, and we all referred to him as Kangaroo Boy, from the movie. His portrayal of characters led us to care about them, which made them more ‘real’. I cried during The Patriot and Brokeback Mountain.
My sympathies to his family.
It’s so sad to hear that such a wunderful actor is gone.
i iz ful of sad :’(
dis mah furst post an is so wunnerful to see soooo many pplz bein reel…unnerstandin dat teh passin of anovr purson is indeeed sad, regardless uv wat they did 4 a livin.

Brokbak kitteh kwits us 2 soon
Oh Heath you will be greatly missed. Hearing the news of your passing and seeing the outpouring of grief here made me think of this poem. It was read at the passing of a friend of mine who died beore his time.
“I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says, “There, she is gone!”
“Gone where?”
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminshed size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: “There she is gone!” There are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: “Here she comes!”
And that is dying.” Anonymous
Someone else wondered earlier if his next film would be similar to the release of The Crow and all of the attenton that movie recieved due to Brandon Lee’s untimely passing. My thought is yes if only to see Heath on the silver screen one last time.
Rest in Peace Heath.
Thx, Cheez n Tofu. Dis teh onliest tribute whar I want to reed commintz. Hugs to all cheezpeeps.
So sad. Ceiling Cat, keeps him warms plz.
” For what is it to diebut to stand naked in the wind and melt into the sun?
And what is it to cese breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides,
that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, thn shall you truly dance.”

Rest in peace Heath. You will be missed. Not only by your fans, but by your family and loved ones.

Jack, I swear……..

I’ll miss mah Aussie Heath.
Must cee Brokbak now… pass teh kleenex plse.
I’ve never cared much for celebrities, but yesterday my best friend texted me with the horrid news. I just couldn’t believe it. What I find just as difficult to believe is that some people are so filled with hatred and are just so EVIL that they would picket his memorial services. Why? Because of his role in Brokeback Mountain. It’s heartbreaking.
Hunnee….
dose peepul hab such a dark an hevvee burden too bear spirichullee…
try not to bee angry at dem….if u ebbun r.
Dey needs owr prayurs.

bin readin comments – find it amazing so many people who don’t know each other think much same way. Heath – Amazing talent unspoiled by usual celebrity stuff. human wiff own probs.
thanx for postin the tribute thanx for giving people a chance to xpress their sad. I huggd my kidz a bit harder last nite. remember 2 show ur luv when u can and we have learnt frm his tragedy. am sure his famly would find comfort in knowing he made so many people care.
My eyes are leaking so hard, I broke my lolspeak translator.
Thank you, Cheezpeeps, for showing overwhelming compassion and kindness for a fellow human being. I was worried that I was weird for being so sad about his passing, but then I came here to discover that the Brokbak kitties and Cheezpeeps were mourning him too.
I’ve been sad about Heath, and the far too many people who have gone to a very black place and been unable to come back. The lolcats give me hope that these sad hearts are at peace, snorgled by kittehs and having biscuits made on their bellies for eternity.
I shall send a message to my pets at the Rainbow Bridge to meet him when he arrives.
Like so many others, I was truly devastated to hear the news of Heath’s passing.
It seems he was a gentle soul, a true gentleman, and was certainly coming into his own as an actor just before he passed.
Reminds me so much of James Dean. What a waste.
The world needs more people like Heath. Seems to me that the best way to honor his memory is to be the kind of person he was–a good samaritan, a loving father, humble and gracious till the end.
Bless you, Heath. Thanks for sharing yourselves with us for a while.
May your friends and family find comfort remembering the good times they spent with you.
I have no idea if he ever saw Lolcats but I’m sure if he did, this would have had him giggling at his screen.
Such a sad accident to befall a genuinely nice guy.
Heath Ledger : 04/04/78 – 01/22/08
Don’t grieve for me, now I’m free.
I am following the path, God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call;
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day;
to laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I’ve found that peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
Ah, yes these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I’ve savored much;
good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief;
don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me –
God wanted me now. He set me free.
RIP heath…he died on my birthday! T_T that wasn’t cool
Thanks for the beautiful tribute to Heath. I’ve seen Brokeback Mountain at least 6 times and am always impressed with the great American character he created for the role.
Be sad for now.
but
Fight despair.
I can’t believe how hard I cried reading this thread. I was sad when I first heard, yes, but I think there’s just been a lot of decency, kindness, and empathy shared here. Which is as comforting as the loss of a 28-year-old father, as others have pointed out, is devastating.
thanks for this.
rip heath
ai had a beeg shok wen ai red teh nooz teh udder day abouts Heef. Ai nebber reelly sawz tew menny moovees wif him in dem, but teh tribyut iz appropriate, still.
RIP, Heef…may seelin’ kitteh greet u at teh Bridge.
What a sad, yet rather heart-mending post. I loved Heath’s smile and voice, and now it’s gone forever. I’m glad Ceiling Cat will be there for snorgling…
Tuesday was my birthday. (As it was Amaryn’s – Hi, twin!) His passing put a damper on the day.
I’m saddest for his little girl – I know she has a good support system that tells her nothing but good things about her Daddy.
This make me has many sads. My roomiez (2 boyz) luffs teh Heef. We has sads twogether. Is no gud. We bai Vegemite at Whole Fuds, in memoree. Is Aussie fud.
Vegemite… is no gud. How do Aussiez eats it? We no kno.
But we misses teh Heef.
….spread it thin–very thin…on toast..:-)
I cried when I first heard and I cried again now, reading these comments. When an actor or musician you really like passes away, it can seem like they were your friend, because you have seen so much of them and followed their career. It’s very sad what has happened. Heath was one of my favorite actors and I know he could’ve been even greater than he was.
I am very sad for Michelle Williams and their daughter Matilda. Even though Michelle and Heath never married, it must be a devastating loss, and now Matilda will grow up without her father.
Heath Ledger will be remembered for a very long time, and I hope he is truly at peace.
<3[RestInPeace,Heath]<3
“blackbird singing in the dead of night
take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life, you were only waiting
for this moment to be free”
Heath, thanks for giving us so much in such a short time. Sorry you had to go. Hope you’re happy and at peace wherever you are now.
Never made a comment before, but long time fan of ICHC.
Like the vast majority of you, I am deeply saddened and disturbed by the passing of such a great man.
Whenever someone mentions him, I will always remember his singing scene in “10 things I hate about you.” It never fails to make me laugh. Now it will make me cry.

I will always <3 Heath. I has a sad b/c of his death….may peace follow you where ever you may be…
much <3,

So, here now it’s been exactly one week since he died, and for the last week my thoughts have been utterly consumed with Heath Ledger’s passing. I still can’t get my head around it. It still doesn’t seem real to me. I watched the SAG awards on Sunday night and when Daniel Day-Lewis accepted his award and began talking about him and dedicated his award to him, I just started bawling! I have NEVER cried over a celebrity death before, but this one has really had a profound effect on me. He was one of my absolute favorite actors. It breaks my heart that his little girl will grow up not knowing her daddy and will have to look back at all the disgusting tabloid headlines about him being on drugs, etc.
R.I.P Heath…..May Angels Lead You In!!!!
Although I respect the idea of trying to pay homage to Mr. Ledger. I don’t think this was the time nor place to do it. It’s as if he is being made fun of. I didn’t appreciate it.
N e time or plase wer u can spress ur feelings wif peeple who feel same waz u do iz rite time adn plase. We just needz outlet for emoshunz. Adn wut betr plase den here wif fello chzkittehs hoo udnerstandz how we feelz?

Oml…
Wotta amah-zin guy.
Will b big missed.
Way to be compassionate………..NOT
wow.
Kinda missin da point aren’t u?
hmm.
D***he-like Bagging Detected
You’ve gotta be kidding. It is an excellent film. A truly beautiful story and beautiful cinematography.
teh point…you haz MISSED IT.
regardless of how good or not good you feel the movie was, or your dislike of gay men, how can you say you “don’t care” that a human being died? A tragic loss of a talented actor, but, more importantly, the tragidy of loss to his family, and the sadness we feel for the pain he must have felt which brought him to this end.
Well, Heath Ledger (the actor) was a father, so…I’m pretty sure his two year old cares…
How about a little bit of respect, even if you’re a homophobe?
He was a talented 28-year-old with a bright future and a two-year-old daughter who won’t know her dad. I can’t begin to understand why people take that path … it’s permanent! Very, very sad. Find peace, Heath.
foar srs
true, some people are never going to acknowledge that, and it’s a damn shame
absolutely, you are right, kitkay, as are all the above against redscoundrel’s disgusting remark. so, scoundrel (how very, very appropriate), please stfu. what sadness must occur for you to act like a human being?! ugh.
