To be fair, I understand the sentiment, but I think saying that those characters mean more than actual people in your life might be going a bit far. That being said, I respect the man and sad to see that a guy who brought so much joy to others unfortunately lost the oft fought battle against depression and substance abuse.

It's all circumstantial, maybe you have a bunch of great people in your life but I don't.
