80s and 90s kids really got hit in the heart today. RIP Screech 💕❤️

Saved by the Bell would definitely not have been as successful without Dustin.

RIP Screech

Part of my childhood died today when hearing the news. You'll be forever missed Screech!

Nearly teared up at this. Grew up with his comedy. Fantastic comic actor. Brought a lot to this world.

"What is it about?" "It's about half an hour" 😂😂

Argh. So young. What a rip off. He didn't even get a chance to turn his life around. Not fair, so young.

R.I.P Dustin ❤️ Screech was a brilliant character ❤️

Watch “Saved by the Bell” every day growing up. Screech was my favorite. Peace.

I can’t believe, suddenly everybody loves him, I remember watching videos of him last year and the comments were negative, so sad I really hope he’s in a better place next to his mother 🕊

Reporter: So what is the show about? Screech: Its about a half hour

Rest in peace, Dustin Diamond. Nobody could have played Screech better than you.

I grew up watching Saved By The Bell. RIP Screech.

I briefly hung out with Dustin. I'll always remember his kindness, silliness, convincing friends and I to climb up to the roof of my house and for that moment as we all sat (thank God!!) Dustin decided to stand up and perform a comedy routine!!! The backsop, beautiful city lights as the sun was setting and as dark as it was, he was the shining light of evening!!! Because of his schedule, I ended up becoming owner of his dog who he named. That precious little dog passed away in 2013 after a long and very happy life. Dustin, thanks again for being so sweet and kind, especially to my mom who was also at that time suffering with lung cancer made her laugh and who shared your silliness. Now that you're both in Heaven, you can crack each other up!! Rest in peace!!!!!

And yes I believe that the cast of save by the bell, should had called Dustin Diamond aka Screech back to redo the new save by the bell. It was wrong for them not to include him in it. Because without Dustin Diamond aka Screech there's no save by the bell, it's not the same and it will never be the same. There's only one SCREECH and that was DUSTIN DIAMOND. We love u SCREECH❣

So sad 😔 he literrally just found out he even had cancer and weeks later he passed away its just crazy how rapid it passed through his body he didnt even get to understand what was happening cancer is evil and you can go in for a normal check up or something bothering you and by the time you find out its cancer sometimes it to late😢 may my favorite character rest in paradise just so sad💔

Rip Dustin. Thanks for enriching the 90s for all of us

Screeeeech! I’m going to miss you, you were apart of my childhood! 🥺

I can't believe this damn R.I.P Dustin Diamond Saved by the Bell will always be the best teen TV sitcom of all time.

We lost an amazing talent. 44 is too young to leave this earth. Rest in Peace, Screech. We will miss you.

He had a lump in his throat that he was ignoring. His girlfriend had urged him to get it checked out, and that's when it was found out that he had cancer and it had spread extremely rapidly. He didn't even have a chance to fight it!

It's so sad that he gave up his childhood to entertain people but then didn't live a long life with his rewards. Thanks Dustin. You really entertained me growing up and I appreciate all the laughs.

"We saw too much screech in it." There'll never be too much screech in this world

I miss Screech he was many of our all time favorites... I'm so sad.... He was the person who kept the show alive! RIP Screech...

Im so heartbroken over his passing.😢 RIP Dustin Diamond (Screech) 😭😭

Rest In Peace Screech!! Thank you for making my childhood great!! And my adulthood also,since I still watch SBTB till this day! 🙏🏻🕊

RIP Screech.. Never missed an episode of saved by the bell m.You were the life of that sitcom. Sleep In Peace buddy..

Great actor and brilliant show back in the day

one of the originals of pre Saved By the Bell, Good Morning Miss Bliss.

He lived with me the last half of 2020. He was kind, made a joke out of everything. He was singing all hours of the day. He didn’t feel sick until December. But it was Bad when it hit him. RIP my friend

RIP in peace. This man is an icon.

Without screech there would have been no show. I’m so sorry he’s passed away at such a young age. Rip Dustin thank you for the laughs

He still looked like his young persona in his 40s.

I remember that Flea circus bit.... "I love the little guys!" ha ha. He was gold

I grew up watching Saved by the bell and Screech was my favorite. I was heavily abused in school and at home but Dustin always made me feel accepted. Such a talented guy and i absolutely stood in complete shock when the news broke.. i just lost it. yes, he had cancer but I just really believed he would pull through. FUCK CANCER! So sick of death... RIP Dustin. You will be very very missed.

RIP Screech!

God bless you

Gone but definitely not forgotten. He will always be remembered for the light he brought to our TV screens during the late 80's-90's. RIP Screech 😢

For Dustin Diamond aka Samuel "Screech" Powers 😢💔🙏🏼 (1977-2021)

I feel like part of my childhood has died but that feels selfish saying that, r.i.p dude.

Rest in Peace to him. Thanks for all the nice memories from Saved by The Bell.

I grew up in the 90’s and never missed an episode of Saved By the Bell. Dustin was a year older than me, and makes me really appreciate life more than ever. Gone too soon. 🌷💕

WE LOVE YOU DUSTIN

Why is it that we only truly appreciate a person's talents and gifts, AFTER they are gone.......?

🕊 REST IN PEACE DUSTIN 🕊 🔔 “SCREACH" 🔔

RIP Dustin Diamond, I grew up watching Saved By The Bell and Screech was my favourite character, your legacy as Screech will live on forever.

Awww This made me tear up, I watched saved by the bell a lot growing up! His character brought a lot to that show and couldn't imagine it without him... Fly high Dustin, may you rest in peace

That was a powerful moment! Sad he lost his life! To cancer! He will always be everyone screech! Rest on love ❤️

You were a TRUE legend! “Milkshake wishes and cheeseburger dreams”! RIP

Oh wow! I loved this show, great talent lost.RIP Screech.

RIP Screech!!! Thanks for the childhood memories!!!

R.I.P. Dustin A.K.A. "Screech"

This was very well done. The role of Screech was always going to be a weight to bear for whoever played it, and yet it never seemed too heavy for Dustin. If you saw him around he had fun with it and as he said he was proud of it. He was a great guy who deserved more, I thank him for all the laughs when I needed them most and I’ll miss him.

Rest In Peace Dustin I grew up with you we are only a few years apart in age Thanks for all the laughs I had a really bad childhood and watching you got 30mins made me forget my problems

RIP Dustin. I know you thought in the end you lived a life of regret and mistakes and obviously I can't speak for you, but I truly admired your resilience and your character. It takes balls to confront the demons you had to face as a child actor and you did it. You are an inspiration to myself and many, many others. RIP Dustin.

I am sadden and crying at the lost of words. My heart aches. I survived cancer and at 48 still here. Him at 44 and just gone!😭😭😭😭

Rest In Peace Dustin. Thanks for all the laughs you gave us as Screech! God bless your soul.

R.i.p Screech. We were born the same year. Child stardom isn't always that great. Thanks for the wonderful memories of my childhood.

When I heard that he was hospitalized and diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, I couldn't believe it. I immediately felt for him and his family. I had no idea the type or that it was terminal. I grew up watching him and loved Screech. To know that he was so young and to have his life cut so short is just so awful. I pray his family and friends are getting through this loss. RIP Dustin. 🙏🏽🙏🏽💙💜

I will always remember him as young screech, hence the reason it’s so hard. I feel like a teenager died. He was a good actor. In general I never knew him obviously but it is still sad and a tragedy. The heard he was in pain. I hope he didn’t suffer much.

he had a iconic role like erkle they could never break out of that character

Dustin Diamond was an amazing actor and comedian. His natural abilities to make people laugh and smile was endless. Dustin Diamond,(Screech) was the heartbeat that made Saved By The Bell the show it became and was the reason thousands of people tuned in to watch the show. His comic abilities came natural and was one of the funniest actors I have ever watched. We will miss you Dustin Diamond! RIP brother!

RIP Screech Dustin you played the role so well you made being a nerd acceptable you gave us a group cudos my friend cudos

🍃❤️🍃❤️🍃R🕊️P Dustin "Screech"Diamond🍃❤️🍃❤️🍃

I loved this. There is so much out there that only covered the negative in his life when talking about his death. And so many ppl steal commenting horrible things. This...this was what he deserves

Growing up as kid in the late 80s and early 90s I have seen so many childhood actors struggle over the past decades. I feel truly sorry for him. He messed up like so many of us do. It seems like he wanted another chance in life. May he Rip

Grew up watching save by the bell every Saturdays morning...cant believe show ended in '93.... didn't feel that long ago. weird to hear an actor u watched grow up pass so soon...life is precious. RiP Dustin aka screech

I’m heartbroken still after yesterday. 😭

Dustin Neil Diamond is going to be missed by all of us and he was hilarious as Screech and I never forgotten how talented he really was and I never stopped thinking about him and he may rest his talented soul forever and ever since we lost him this year 2021

Rip man.. I would have NEVER thought he'd go this way and this fast.. we love you brother

So crazy, just started watching saved by the bell couple of weeks ago. I had no idea Dustin Diamond was sick. Now I'm going to be watching this series that I used to watch when I got home from school from a different perspective SMH RIP screech

"What is the show about?" "It's about a half an hour."

Can’t believe my homie gone...I remember every morning before school or the weekends watching “saved by the bell” 😢😢😢

RIP Mr. Diamond. 💔

I actually met him in person and he was such a cool down to earth dude! Thanks for the memories!

Wait what... weird how Slater just randomly appears as the interviewer with a notepad right at the moment when Dustin is saying he hasn’t seen most the cast since final episodes on set at 16 years of, meanwhile there’s a grown up cast member across from him shaking his like they’ve never met

RIP Legend

Grew up watching this. Especially early mornings before school. Part of my childhood and glad I could be a part of it! RIP Dustin

⭐️R.I.P. Dustin⭐️ And thanks for my childhood memories! 😊✊👋

Legend 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Wouldn't it be great if they could find a cure for cancer as quick as they made the Covid vaccine? Rip Screech.

He was awesome as Screech

Awwww he was such a cute Kid ..I loved his curly hair and smile . I'm so sad about how hard he had it and how he passed away so young . Rest In Peace Dustin ☮🕊❤ Shine On 💎
