Holy shit. According to Jim Beaver's myspace page, Kim Manners passed away last night from lung cancer. I just. WHAT? I'm really utterly in shock. How? I mean, usually, that sort of thing... you kind of know about beforehand, right? Just... not to knock the credibility of Jim, but it's just... this is just utterly utterly awful. God.

ETA: Apparently he had cancer before but was thought to be in remission? Fuck. I'm just numb.

:( I just can't even really process this. So sad.

Just... this is so superficial and not the first thing I should be thinking about, but just the camaraderie that he had with everyone on set. This is just so fucking heartbreaking.

Yeah, the dumping of the buckets of water on the boys in the S2 gag reel was by him. Every interview I've read about him says he had such a great sense of humor. :(

I'm assuming that's the same Kim Manners from The X-Files. Oh, wow. What a bummer. :(

The same, yeah. I'm really having a hard time processing this.

Oh my god. I'm totally shocked. That is just so sad.

I feel sick to my stomach. This is just so horrible.

I feel heartsick. I still just can't even believe something like this would happen.

I saw that and went NO WAY! It's so sad. :( I feel so bad for his family and everyone on SPN.

Oh Chrissy. I just feel so sick and depressed, and God, I can't even IMAGINE what the boys are going through, not to even mention his FAMILY. So horrible, all of this.

Honey, tell me about it. It's so so so horrible and depressing. And his family and the cast and I bet it's just tears. I've been upset all day.

Oh god... how terrible. With a team as tight knit as this, it must be shattering. Just makes me feel ill. Clearly he was the favorite director, at least for the boys. :(

Oh babe, yes, that's exactly what's ripping me apart right now. Out of all the stories and gag reels and behind-the-scene pieces that we've all seen and know of, how close they all were and how much this must be devestating to all of them. I just never would have thought.

I know! I was stunned when I got home from work and read my Flist! I was like ... WHAT??!

[identity profile] caithream.livejournal.com 2009-01-27 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I STILL can't even wrap my head around this. SO unexpected and so so awful.

Gutted. SO gutted.

That's pretty much exactly how I (still) feel. :(
