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 absolutley filled up any room he was in. I’m gonna miss the Mac Man.”

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 making some of the most meaningful, memorable and fun times of our lives…As a husband and father, he was THE MAN and my thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will be truly missed, but so well remembered.”

This loss was devastating. Bernie Mac touched many people and he will always be remembered and missed. Hollywood has lost another individual with great talent…our thoughts are with his family and friends.
