  • he will forever be a legend

  • Omg I miss the hot guy from grease! This is SO sad I feel like crying! Bye Kenickie...

  • I did'nt know jeff had died.

  • WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED SOONER!!! I HATE IT WHEN THEY DO THIS, MY FAVORITE PEOPLE PASS AWAY AND IT DOESN'T MAKE BIG NEWS AND I FIND OUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS DOWN THE LINE!!!

    THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO BRIAN JACQUES!!!

    R.I.P. Jeff, there goes another great actor.

  • God bless you Jeff Conway!!! You will be missed!! -33

  • he was so hot in grease but he had so many drugs in his body it wasnt good

  • He was also Zack in Babylon 5, Never forget Zack.......

  • Rest in Perfect Peace, Jeff Conaway. I love you so much, I'll see you in another life. You are truly missed. Big part of my childhood. XOXO

  • LOS ANGELES — Autopsy results show that Jeff Conaway, the star of "Taxi" and "Grease" who struggled with addiction before his death in May, died from multiple causes including a major internal infection

  • Sorry to hear this. I was watching Taxi episodes today.

  • hollywood builds up people and drop them like peace of shit actors need to get a real job

  • So sad - I remember him in Taxi - he was a 'babe' as they used to say...RIP Jeff.

  • Michael Jackson was a hardcore prescription drug addict. That is the truth and that's why he is dead. ****CASE CLOSED***** Maybe Jeff and Michaels's death can help someone else.

  • God Bless Jeff, I know your pain..

  • I will always remember him as security officer, later security Chief, Zack Allan on Babylon 5.

    Rest in Peace.

  • I remeber him as Fun Bobby on Taxi. What a great Talent. sad to hear he passed.

  • I love you man.. R.I.P

    hey latka , u gotta a friend comin by .

  • Jeff was a gifted performer; he was also the kindest, gentlest actor I've ever worked with. He played an acting teacher in my indie film on actors in Hollywood a few years ago, and he was hilarious. U can watch him in a scene from "The Biz" here on YouTube under:

    How to act with Jeff Conaway

  • I couldn't believe when I've read this. Rest in peace Kenickie, you'll always be in our hearts! Love you!!!

  • R.I.P Kinickie

  • What the fuck is wrong with you people?!?! He was ILL!!! Yes taking drugs was not very smart but he was in pain and he's just died so have some fucking respect!! Jesus Christ, this is one of the reasons why I hate Youtube! I love it but I also hate it! So many pricks on here who think it's funny to sprout crap about a person who died like 4 weeks ago!

  • I feel so terrible for Jeff. It must have been so hard for him and 60 is such a young age to die at. I know he's been doing drugs for some time but with him being in all that pain and suffering, he did really well to reach 60. At least all the other Grease stars are healthy and well. R.I.P Jeff. You will be missed :'(

  • Everyone needs to stop hatting&fighting on here and show some respect!Its called grow up & act mature. If you dont like him stop wasting your time starting pointless fights on here.How do you think his family would feel reading this? You would think you would have something better to do clearly you dont Jeff was an amazing actor who unfortunatly had some troubles with addiction but who cares hes human like us and sometimes we make mistakes atleast he tried to seek help. Its harder than you think

  • GOD is a fairytale?????!!!!!may God have mercy on your poor lost little soul,for u know not what you say(do)

  • Poor guy at least he's in a better place now, Where he's not suffering anymore.

  • thats a shocker..omg i cant believe this! :(((((

  • @threadysparrow ........ Wow u need to shut it. Not trying to start any fights but seriousley..... God is a fairytale??? No no he is not. :|

  • @mrgaryo78 have you ever considered an anger management co

  • thank god, one less piece of shit, fucking junkie, all these fuckers should be shot dead.

  • OMG,I didn't kno he'd been sexually obused as a boy!! Sure to send certain types down the road to self destruction!

  • This is what is wrong with Obama's liberal America. Glorification of criminal activity and weakness. Instead of God and Christ, he turns to drugs, and when he dies from those drugs everyone says it is so sad he died too young, when in fact he got what he deserved! Those who live by the sword.

    Cujo Ramsey

  • @CujoRamsey you know god is a fairy tale right

  • @CujoRamsey

    You shouldn't judge, he was abused as a kid.

  • Enjoy the peace in Gods light Mr Conaway

    Peace is there,not here

  • Y'kno (to negative comments) we're all addicted to something!!

    Whether it be sugar,salt,fat,caffiene,tv,mus­ic,the bible (lol),religion...

  • well, another epic fail of the Church of Scientology

  • wooow im surprise he died R.I.P

  • sad... so so sad... RIP, Jeff.

  • Jeff Conaway - A legend in a league of his own... It was an honor to have known and worked with you my brother. I will cherish EVERY moment we had. I am so proud of you in this fight for life. Many will say you lost, I say you fell down one last time as we all will do, the only difference is when you got back up you saw the face of God saying, "It is finished-come home my son." I will always love you and I am Extremely honored to call you "Friend".

  • RIP Jeff, you had some struggles in your life but underneath it all you were a good man fighting some bad demons.

  • You were one of my first crushes. I loved you so much in Grease!! :'(

  • what was the reason? did he overdose?

  • @ChicanoTattooArt

    He got pneumonia and let it get way too serious because of his addiction.

  • @ChicanoTattooArt thats what they trying to find out if he overdose pain killers

  • @jesselovelyred oh ok, thank you.

  • Did someone ask when is Justin Beiber going to start using drugs? well who knows but im sure he will start once he cant take the publicity anymore. anyways rest in peace jeff.

  • @floydcz1. I hear ya. They make themselves look well. UNO .

  • Such a shame to read all the negative posts here, you should all hang your heads in shame, oh wait a minute you dont have to because you are all perfect. Makes me sick that society today has to resort to the shambolic lack of respect.

  • Comment removed

  • I've only just heard the news. I'm not familiar with his early performances but I thought he was good in Babylon 5.

  • Jeff,God bless you and keep you...."You're cruisin for a bruisin"...RIP BROTHER!

  • what is with all of the hatred for poor jeff. the man had a disease. nobody chooses to be an addict. sure you choose to put the drugs into you but when your choice system is all messed up then who is really choosing it for you?

  • Such a sad thing to hear that Jeff has passed. RIP JEFF, you will be "remembered forever," just like the song (We Go Together) says. You were an original.

  • Such a sad thing to hear that Jeff has passed. RIP JEFF, you will be "remembered forever," just like the song (We Go Together) says.

  • WOW so much hate in here, have some respect, jeez

  • I agree entirely - despite his personal problems - he brought enjoyment to many people - I thought he was very good in Babylon 5. RIP Jeff

  • His wrinkled face told the story ...drugs were on his daily menu alright. Meanwhile whining the entire day about petty things. Pretending he couldn't get out of his wheelchair etc. Such a miserable phoney. Within a few days no one will even bother about the demise of this individual, not even relatives and friends (in case he ever had them)

  • Thank you Mr. Conaway, for some of the most indelible memories of my life. You will be missed. My condolences to all who knew and loved him. XOXOXO

  • Crappy a actor & crappy person. He's lucky he ever got into the business. He killed himself by being a garbage head low life. he had more than most people & every chance to change--freinds willing to help, money, jobs coming in, etc, etc. You can't save a loser.

    Flame on nut-huggers!

  • @iiwatcher : And yet you've managed to make yourself appear even CRAPPIER with your ill-timed judgments about an individual you did NOT personally know. Way to go!

  • @metamorphicmuse Really? If you think so, I can totally live with that. Now go look at what he did, his behavior as recorded for everyone to see. At least I have the gits to tell it like it is, instead of following the herd. Nice try nut-hugger. But...

    FAIL!

    XD

  • @iiwatcher : You poor soul! You CLEARLY suffer from some form of social dysmorphia, as you have no idea what "respect" for the dead is. It's not like he was Hitler. When someone dies, the axiom "if you can't say anything nice, don't saying anything at all" fittingly applies. But seeing as you suffer from a "MANNERS" deficiency, I'll just consider the source as you spew your compulsively insolent remarks.

  • @metamorphicmuse Bwahaha in other words, you're a dumb sheep. If a man isn't worthy of respect in life, why should he be in death, when he is nothing. You're demand for respect for dust & worms after a pathetic life lived, is laughable. Here's some manners for ya: How about not throwing around $2 words you found on google over a man who was a garbage head & a low life? XD By your IDIOTIC rationale, we should have only nice things to say about Hitler, or nothing at all. MORON. XD

  • @iiwatcher : OH, for the love of humanity! Go crawl back under the rock you came from. You OBVIOUSLY have issues, and I'm not in the mood to deal with them. Consider your SICK PATHETIC ASS BLOCKED! POOF! Just like that you're OFFICIALLY out of my life. HAVE A NICE DAY!

  • @metamorphicmuse In other words: ZERO COUNTER! You have no intellectual ammo, so you throw a tantrum and run away. Oooh you blocked me, how devastating! XD I consider it a victory thanks for playing!

    LOSER! ; )

  • @iiwatcher : I'm not sure why I still received your MORONIC message, but I just wanted you to know with ABSOLUTE certainty that your opinions of me DON'T matter. So spew your hatefulness all you want. It's more of a reflection on you than it could ever be on me. As far as I'm concerned, your father should have pulled out early. I'm positive this world would be a BETTER place without the likes of you.

  • @metamorphicmuse HAHAHA!!! I thought you blocked me?? You lying sack of shit, you didn't block shit. You're simply compelled to respond bc I own you. LOLyou can't help it bc you're so BUTTHURT!

    I know with ABSOLUTE certainty that my opinions own you & that's why you had to respond. XD

    Go worship your poster of Jeff the druggie loser & keep raging & defending your idol. I ain't going nowhere punk I'll outlive a maggot like you & you'll soon join Conaway so get used to it. Still done w/ me? ; )

  • Drugs or no drugs...when your time comes, you will die!! common sence would do us good sometimes.. R.I.P Jeff.

  • @wanyonyi3 Hahaha what a stupid statement! A person who does drugs does not have the same life expectancy as a person who does not. Exceptions to this fact are meaningless.

  • RIP

  • a bit before my time grease and i remember taxi a sad end rest in peace jeff

  • JEFF ASSHOLE should've read the SECRET or something..humans DO NOT NEED MEDICINE! the body was meant to be STRONG!! i dont understand why ASSHOLES cant forget the past ..they use excuses like "oh my father raped me, or ohh my mother was an alcoholic or oh i got touched by my aunt cecilia"....FUCK ALL THAT SHIT! that was the past, and if u cant forget about that shit, then you cant live the present nor future! its been proven the body REGENERATES new cells every 11 months...a new person!

  • @elchessboy0wnzuagain are you retarded or something?

  • Why rest in peace...hey he's in a better place now... he wanted to make love to his demons..THERE U GO.! FUCK JEFF !! LOSER!

  • @elchessboy0wnzuagain Why do you resent him so much? The man had an addiction problem. It is a disease and one hard to beat. He suffered enough and now in death why would you be so heartless? I mean what did he ever do to you? Have a little symathy. Sounds like you have some anger issues you are transposing onto this man.

  • "A hikkie form Kenickie is a like a Hallmark card!" Thanks for the great memories Jeff. R.I.P :(

  • Rest in peace.

    

  • Rest In Piece :\\

  • RIP Jeff

    I was always a kenickie girl!!

    Xx

  • rip jeff .will alway remember u for bein in grease

  • What the hell is wrong with people? Have some damn respect! For fucks sake

  • Rest in peace Kinnicks

  • what a crackhead!!

  • Comment removed

  • R.I.P. !!

  • Comment removed

  • RIP. Thanks for reminding me to stay clean, Jeff.

  • He was great in Grease, sad he died so young.

  • @Londonguy028 you are obviosly a complete fucking moron, 60 is so young, he has been a junkie since the 70's, or are you also a pill popping piece of shit urself, oh that was a rhetorical ? you fucking moron

  • RIP Kenicke

  • I was madly in love with Jeff Conaway when he was on TAXI, back in 1979! So good looking....

  • @giaisbomb WTF?? You were only 11 years old LOL!

  • @fan80sgirl ---Yep I liked the older guys, always....I need cash, shit! LOL

  • He was really handsome and sexy on grease!!! RIP Jeff Conaway

  • I think its sad that he died so young.. and being hooked on drugs just wouldnt let him do all the things he wanted to do like have a comeback. Hollywood life does a lot of damage to some people and jeff was one of many stars who lost their life to drug overdose, unfortunately. He was a great guy and the small parts he had on film and tv are the ones that will have him in our hearts forever.. we love you Jeff... R.I.P

  • @6MakeMyDinnerCunt6 you asshole

  • I loved the movie Grease and he was a great actor and will be missed. Very sad and his name will be remembered in Hollywood and to some fans. My condolences to his family. God Rest his soul.

  • @6MakeMyDinnerCunt6

    wait till something bad happens to you or someone you know, karma....

  • He fit well into the Taxi ensemble and was one of the shining lights in Grease. RIP

  • @bailinnumberguy Yeah, he fit in brilliantly. And I can't imagine I was the only young guy who thought Bobby Wheeler was a cool character.

    Poor guy - I'm sorry to hear how drugs tripped him up so. 60 is awfully young to die. God rest his soul.

  • I <3 You Jeff

  • wow this actor is very young and dies at 60 i love grease movie and rest in peace im cry

  • I met Jeff Conaway at the Anaheim Comic Com but I didn't video tape of him R.I.P.

  • RIP Jeff you will always be remembered in taxi and Grease. its sad but your career in movies and tv series will be rememembered i our hearts.

  • @LiveStarAnime No offense but that FILTHY, DRUG ADDICT GOT WHAT HE DESERVED.

  • Is the man with the aids died? He shouldn't havea had the sexes with the men.

  • r.i.p kinickie ! (: GREASE WILL ALWAYS BE THE WORD

  • Margie Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church has announced on her Twitter account that the church will be picketing Jeff's funeral, on unknown grounds other than reasons of 'perversion'. THEY MUST BE STOPPED!

  • RIP .. bobby wheeler !

  • I'm thinkin, this prick didn't even "star" on Taxi. He was the lowest on the bill. He makes Corey Haim look like Olivier. Get him the fuck in his ditch already. 

  • R.I.P. Jeff ... Your Struggles are over

  • @cortina6869 his only 'struggle' was that he was a whiny, drug infested, self indulgent LOSER.

  • @Goethewrote he had a better in life than you.

  • @machippy yeah, watching him whine for drugs over the span of his life is GREAT. Face it, the guy was a LOSER.

  • @Goethewrote you can say how big of a loser jeff is but the reality is when your dead no one will remember your name. Jeff Conoway is dead but his name will last forever.

  • @Butown Kind of like your nickname, dickface.

  • What a fuckin no talent bum. Good riddence!

  • @cremeofthereich

    I agree. Another worthless dope addict bites the dust. I have no sympathy for peole who have everything and insist on throwing it all away.

  • @AlbanianMan Amazing that they even say this shitstain "starred" in Taxi. He was a bit player whose role could have been played by any of a million other actors.

  • @cremeofthereich

    Yeah, Bobby Wheeler was a minor character at best, much like Foghorn Leghorn on Looney Tunes. What kills me about this dope addict, shit-for-brains is how he treated people who were trying to help him. People who alienate those around them due to their own selfish addictions are deplorable. I saw this loser on Celebrity Fit Club and Celeb Rehab and if he talked to me the way he talked to those other people, he would have been sucking his food from a straw

  • @AlbanianMan Absolutely! The fact that he wasn't even like a lovable lush makes it even more puzzling the extent to which these fools are lauding his rancid ass!

  • @cremeofthereich  and @AlbanianMan you guys make me laugh with how pathetic you sound, a man died in a very sad, have some respect. seriously, he had a rough life, it happens, and he was a good actor. you people disgust me, but i'm not gonna continue to bother.

  • @90sandearly00srule1 Why don't you "bother" with holding back on your accolades until you find someone worthy of being called a good actor. That cocksuckin asshole skank Conaway sucked shit as an actor and in life.

  • R.I.P Mate. May the next life release the pressure of this one.

  • RIP grease monkey...:(

  • R.I.P Jeff :'I

  • The world's much better off without Americans like this so called 'actor' Jeff Conaway. A capitalist icon hooked on dope. His life just never took a right turn, still he has gathered so many fans 'round him.....it's scary since most of them are likely to follow the sames destructive path like he did since that's all they seem to know.

  • @kax61 Fuck you dirt bag! Im a fucking former user sober 14 years so you can kiss my ass you opinionated moral monitor ass hole!

  • @DiCam3667 14 years.....imagine that! Sounds like you're trying to outsmart people staying off dope for all of their lives. Big deal.

  • @kax61 Well if people do remember you, they will remember what a heartless person you were.

  • B-5.....

  • RIP Jeff. You fought hard with your addiction. I admired you on Taxi. Rest now. The misery is over. I hope your better half is proud of herself.

  • @DiCam3667 Yeah, sure he battled with people who tried to make him fight his addiction.

  • "a hicky from kiniki is like a hallmark card"

  • Jeff Gon'-a-Way.....'Grease' was pretty awful. 'Taxi' was a follow up to even more misery. This 'actor' never achieved anything in life but scoring dope and acting dreadful accordingly. Face it....he was a typical example of American bullshit jetset celebritry....a weak and insecure personality.

  • @kax61 Grease was amazing, a bunch of bullshit is what your post is comprised of I think

  • @FeeLtheHertZ This so called 'actor' was amazing in dreadful acting as far as I'm concerned.

  • @kax61 thanks for the heartfelt thoughts  asshole

  • @kax61 And you are a loser! Have some respect you prick.

  • hickie from kenickie! rip mr. conway

  • who the hell is jeff conaway???

  • I never actually was a follower of his carreer, until he showed up on Dr. Drew's TV show. It was bound to happen....Jeff by then already seemed to be working his way to his final escape act.

  • You were my favorite character on Grease! I hope you find peace now.

  • I liked how he got his role on Babylon 5. Apparently he showed up just to watch the filming because he was such a fan of the show, and when they found out who he was they tried to give him a cameo, and when that went really well they decided to give him a re-occuring role.

    RIP, glad your fight is over.

  • Never heard of him, but then again I haven't wached the film Grease. Sorry to say, you take drugs you have only yourself to blame. Keep clean - stay away from drugs - they will get you in the end. Only a fool takes drugs.

  • @Donald6899 Actually he initially started taking prescription pain killers for a back injury and then was given more following multiple surgeries. It is not uncommon and extremely easy to become addicted to prescription drugs for chronic pain. Also many doctors don't want you to stop taking them because it makes more money for them and the drug companies. He did try rehabs (private and on tv) several times. It's sad he couldn't find the strength to stop.

  • where the hell was travolta?

  • "Grease" sucks. "Grease 2" is unbearable.

  • So sad

  • Very sad, He is at peace now with no pain and no worry's. You will be missed. Rset in peace.

  • Wow! I hate to hear that. Rest in peace, Jeff...

  • FDA approved drugs... meanwhile Marijuana.... those in reality know the rest.

  • @BadSwineDOTcom That's because big pharma and the govt can't find a way to regulate the sale of weed all for their greedy little pockets.

  • I remember the film Grease when Jeff played Kenickie in the film, and he was absolutely amazing, and I couldn't believe it when I heard the sad news now that he has died, which was a total shock and Jeff will be so sadly missed. Rest in Peace Jeff and God Bless.

  • @alisonlp1969 its depressing to see what time and age do, when u remember stuff in its heyday. world goes on, never stops. enjoy yr time in the sun while u can, and for as long as u can, and use it to brighten the lives of others a bit

  • no estuvo en spiderman, oye... ese era willem dafoe! fue el mejor amigo de travolta en grease

  • this guy is a complete dipshit. People were trying to HELP HIM, HELP HIM SAVE HIS LIFE! and yet he would react with aggressiveness, and anger. Fuck him, all drugies should help themselves, they're not fuckin 10 years old. same with that other rocker that died, bunch of idiots.

  • @MyDeArmAsTeR1 dude...

  • @SoJustCool lol i only got one response and you only said "dude," why? because most ppl dont disagree with me, otherwise they would be raging.

  • descansa en paz, jeff. lean nuestra nota de homenaje en nuestro sitio en español

  • El fue que era el malo en spiderman 1 ?????????

    r.ip

  • @Sebastianracingclub no, era el de la pelicula "Grease". he did the role of Kenickie.

  • So he didn't die from an illegal substance? So much for the government protecting us from ourselves huh?

    CIgarettes/alcohol/cough syrup/oxycontin/xanax/barbitua­tes/benzodiazapines/bacon cheeseburgers/shotguns/chainsa­ws etc. = LEGAL

    Marijuana= illegal.

    If Jeff Conaway had stuck to smoking pot, and stayed away from all the legal crap, he'd be alive today.

  • R.I.P.

  • I remember the first time I saw Jeff Conaway on the screen in Grease. It was love at first sight! When I saw he was in the show Taxi, it was love all over again. He even put out an album at the height of his career, which at the time I thought was pretty good. It's such a shame to see this wonderful, talented, handsome man fall prey to a dead end road like drugs, and alcohol addiction. The sad part is, is the outcome is always the same. Their life gets taken away way too soon. Miss you Jeff!

  • He Also played ZACK ALLEN in Bbaylon 5 his last big series he was in and that's what i remember him from. YES I seen Grease the day it came out who didnt and TAXI yes also But Many of us remember him from Babylon 5.

  • love ya man, see you in the afterlife. stay kool baby & long live NY!

  • Leave it to the carebears to care for irrelevance.

  • @Vleesball Carebear on youtube? how does that work...thats a gaming term lol
