So very sad. He seemed like he was making such good, steady progress, always so hopeful.

I can't believe it...that is so sad. He was a great man that carried on valliantly when many others would have just wilted away. He really was a Superman.

So, very sad to hear the news of his death...

Very sad. I've always felt a connection to him. The 2nd Superman movie was DH and my first real date and we shared
a birthday. He WAS Superman! I thought all along that research would give him something of his life back. As he said, not enough
is being done. Sad for his children, wife and friends.
Goodbye Chris-we knew ye well!

Rest In Peace, Superman!

He truly was Superman for the past nine years of his life. He has helped moved medical science leaps and bounds and because of him, I truly believe that people who once had NO hope of ever walkng again, now have some.

Sad day.

So very sad. It would have been so wonderful to see him take a step again. He has been an inspiration for so many people.

Free at last, he can fly once again.

This is such very sad news. He was truly inspirational in a world that needs that.

RIP Christopher.

Oh how sad. RIP, Christopher.

I was saddened to hear this. Nothing the character Superman did was ever more astounding than the amount of awareness he raised about spinal cord injuries.

Peace to his family and to all of those who are victims of spinal paralysis.

I am so sad by this news! He will always be my Superman.

"You will believe a man can fly." I remember that line from the movie ads so well.

26 years ago Christopher Reeve made an 11 year old boy sitting in a movie theatre believe just that.

Today, I still believe that.

RIP, Mr. Reeve, and up, up, and away. You will be missed.

My heart goes out to his family.
