my heart goes out to the family of Jeff Conaway such a tragic loss,to a wonderful actor and Man. May you Rest In Peace in that Malt Shop In The Sky… With all our love and condolences… The Shreeve Family
I am sorry to see he passed, just three days ago. He was a good workman actor, and his presence on screen was immense. The characters he played always had a striking sincerity. He easily made the character come alive, not just a stereotype to blurt lines. He was meant to be an actor and I’m glad he was able to make a career of it. Personal problems aside, he led a better life than most people who never get to spend time doing what they should have in their heart.
He is alive ! I saw him at a Olive Garden .
my heart goes out the family
i watched grease and taxi shows and i like the the movies he played in
RIP Kenicki I will miss you

Jeff was offered a leading role in heaven and like any great actor he couldn’t say no, the only comfort is we have the fortune of his outstanding work to still enjoy as he exits stage left-break a leg up there jeff
going to miss jeff he was a great actor and man he will be missed xx
Man, he really got on my fucking nerves on celebrity rehab. All his whining and complaining, give me a break. He wasn’t the only addict alive at that moment. And he couldn’t sing worth a shit either.
Jeff, your pain & turmoil is now over. RIP
You will truly missed..I hope that now all of your suffering will come to an end…
R.I.P.

May God have more mercy on you and all your faults when it comes time for your passing, than what you have shown here. Rest In Peace Jeff, you are in a better place.

He was awsome as Burt Reynolds penis in “My Nuts My Moustache”. He truely captured being a dick. Oh and why do people on this page write to him like he will ever read or see this page. Now that’s worse than Jeffs role as a father and junkie.
