It doesn’t feel right to hit the thumbs up but I want to thank his family for keeping the fans (the little kids inside of us) aware of what’s going on instead of just having him disappear. I always hoped he would visit my school but for a few minutes he would visit our homes. Shout out to you Mr. Hanna.😢

So sorry this had to happen to such a wonderful man..his mind will be missed❤

Jack Hannah chose to live a life that effectively brought so much good into the world. A lot of people cant say they chose that route for their life's mission. Both for animals and humans like. But he did. And he shall be remembered for that. I for one am incredibly grateful for all of the hard work he put in over the years, and for the fact that his legacy will live on not only through his family and everyone's memories, but through the long lasting effects his work with conservation and such has and will continue to have on the world. And how inspiring he is to so many of us, especially the ones who've chosen to follow in his footsteps. His working years may have ended, but his mission should live on for a long long time.

God Bless him and his dear family. ♥️

My prays to jack and his family You made a lot of kids smile and open there eyes to animals and experience wildlife in a fun and exciting way. Thank you Jack H God bless

This _is_ sad. I always loved his show. Back before KZfaq, during a time that I didn't have cable, it was shows like his that I'd have to watch to see animals. I watched him every Saturday morning.

God bless him and his family!!

I grew up watching his animal shows, I keep you in my prayers Jack.

Alzheimer's is very hard to deal with. To anyone out there with a relative with Alzheimer's one of the best things to do is to be completely understanding of their condition. You have to be there for them 100%. Listen to them, talk to them and give them the same level of respect as before. They will have glimpses of cognition and if you are there during those moments it will comfort them. Family is key because they know the life they had so they are better equipped to deal with the situation. The world will be confusing for them, guide them through it with kindness. Go with the flow when talking to them. You have to put yourself aside completely which is hard for a lot of people to do.

I don't wish Alzheimer to my worst enemy. It is a terrible sickness for all relatives who become strangers for the ones affected.

God bless him and his family, and everyone else experiencing this in their lives.

To his Family I'm sorry. I watched him growing up. Loved his show. ❤

Very sad. He was so wonderful with animals. I have watched him for years. Prayers 🙏

He has brought so much joy & learning to our family. Thank you, Jack Hanna. You'll never be forgotten. 🎉

It's so sad that Jack has had such a wonderful life filled with amazing experiences and memories and then losing it all to this terrible disease. My father had Alzheimer's also. I spent a lovely time with him one day visiting our old favorite places and reminiscing. After taking him home, he thanked me for the great time we had and then asked who I was and what my name was.😢

Watched him every Saturday Wow🙏♥️

Saddens me😢 such a beautiful human with so much knowledge to still offer the world.

Sorry for Jack & his close inner circle of family and friends. Sure loved watching him throughout my years growing up. At this stage I wonder if he has even the slightest sense of self left. Doubtful. Love ya Jack.

My mother had it. She got it when she was 38 years old. When we weren't in foster homes we raised her and tried to protect her. I was 5-14 yrs ofy life. I pray for the family and I cry in my heart as I follow his journey and the families. I think the idea to meet with David Letterman is wonderful. God Bless you and thank you for all the wonderful years that you gave me in my life.

Jack is one of my Hero's, watch his program every Saturday. Thoughts and Love to the Hanna family.

Heartbreaking. Jack was one of my greatest childhood memories from the Johnny Carson Show.

Live your life doing good for others because when the time comes you won't have anything left except your dignity if you had any

Man oh man, I'm 66 years old and I honestly don't remember Jack Hanna not being a part of my life. I always loved his messages and learning experiences. He blessed us with so much of his knowledge enriching our lives so greatly because of his teachings. A HUGE loss to all the world s both human and the animal Kingdom.

So sad I know first hand about this ugly disease. Prayers to Jack and his family.

This really gets to my heart. Jack has been such a part of my family’s life… for generations. He is and has always been such an incredibly amazing, beautiful, loving soul. His dedication to our earth’s animals and educating people is more appreciated than he will ever know. Let’s not forget his comical side as well. Jack, you will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, ALWAYS LOVED AND ALWAYS RESPECTED! YOU ARE A GREAT MAN, A EXTRAORDINARY HUMAN BEING. Prayers are with you and your family. 🙏🏻

I pulled my father’s drivers license. As every day, he made clear, concise arguments as to why I was just being mean. I had to instal a lock on his door, to lock him in his bedroom at night, because out of nowhere, he just started sleep walking, an Alzheimer’s side scoop of fun. It was gut wrenching. One night, he got out, and thankfully the dogs barked, because they thought he was going out for a walk without them. I found him about a block away with a flashlight, 1/2 dressed, roaming through people’s yards. He said he had to inspect the “pop me ups” which I eventually figured out were the pop up sprinklers. Every male on his side had been savagely taken by Alzheimer’s, all living extremely longer than the doctors gave them. In my grandfathers case, he lived for more than a year, in a complete vegetative state. He hadn’t shown life in 9 months and his body was equivalent to that of someone who’d spent time in an Natzi prison camp. 10 years earlier, my father had a pig valve installed in his heart, and now it was time for it to be replaced. The doctor was sure the replacement would be successful, but there was something hanging in the air as we spoke. I told him the next day, that we would not be pursuing the replacement, and again, unspoken, hanging in the air, was a sense, that he 100% compassionately agreed. Just as my father began to get confused between me and my siblings, he gave a 45 minute, clear, concise, convincing talk to me, on how my mother, the love of his life, had cheated and cheated on him. The details he spoke, were sooo concise and he said it with so much pain, about how much he still loved and forgave her, for her outright indiscretions. You see, my parents had a fabulous love for each other and my mother never cheated, as my father had adopted, as truth and verbatim, what my Uncle had endured in his marriage… I let my father speak to me like that, simply because in some cruel way, he felt at that moment, we were having a deep, father son moment. I would let any of you kill me in the most cruel way imaginable, rather than sit through that again. My father’s heart valve failed in his sleep a month later. Alzheimer’s is sooo unimaginably cruel. I know what the Hanna’s are going through and I know the memories of the real Jack will carry them through…someday.

God bless Jack Hanna and family. ❤🕊

Oh my dear Jack Hanna. I feel as if I've known you forever. 😢 I'm so sad that you have succumbed to that dreadful, heartbreaking disease. I will forever love & cherish the memories of what a wonderful, kind man & husband you are. I am heartbroken 💔 and can only imagine how your precious wife & family feel. My thoughts go out to you, Suze & the family💔🌻

I so wish a cure would be found. It only seems like the individuals that are being diagnosed are increasing in numbers. So sad. What a wonderful man Jack Hanna is! He educated so many people about animals. I pray that his family is able to find strength during this time.

So very tragic. 😢

What a shame that such a horrible disease is afflicted on a man that gave his heart and soul saving wild animals so that they have a second chance at living. Thoughts and prayers to Jungle Jack Hanna. Your a remarkable man.

so sad i watched a video of him lately and he isnt the same jack at all. his wife is holding out trying to do it all, but he really needs to go into care. he could burn the house down, he just needs more people watching him. i respect her BIG time for wanting to keep him home, but i hope she lets others help. she doesnt need anymore bad memories.

I'm so sorry 😢

🙏 for his family

Jack is one of the genuinely good guys. This horrible disease is taking annother great one from us. Just not fair.

I work in a nursing home with many residents who have dementia and they do have moments of clarity. They DO recognize people, my gosh they recognize me and they have not known me forever like their own families! With dementia it just screws up the thought processes! But even if they look at a loved one with a blank stare believe me deep inside they know who they are, but sadly they can't process it into words of recognition! And I can avow these souls are good, yes some might.physically lash out, but that cones from a place of fear! They know something is not right in their minds and they can't fix it, that's so scary for them! At the nursing home I work at these souls are loved! I give them as much love and respect and compassion as possible, same with our residents who have other disease. But I wish people would look into whether parasites have created brain changes! And B 12 deficiency is real, it causes brain issues and just taking a low dose of vitamin b 13 won't fix it, one has to find a reputable and caring physician who can test them and then figure out the right dosage and how it must be administered ie injections or supplement. There can be a myriad of reasons why a person is exhibiting dementia symptoms! But sadly it's so much easier to just say its Alzheimer's or some other dementia and give them meds, it takes far more work to really look into why the persons brain mind is malfunctioning! Modern medicine relies on an easy diagnosis and meds!

So sad love you jack ❤❤

😔

*Sad News Reporters!8 *Why isn't Jack left in peace and quiet?*

Terribly sad to hear this 😢

Glenn Campbell also..💛

Come on find a cure for this deadly disease. It is so hard to watch a loved one forget who you are.

I just saw a article in the Columbus dispatch he is declining every day

Ouch the end is nigh jack.

Such a sad disease

Just sad love him.

What is life if you cant even remember your life 😢

Jack... Do some pike pushups to roll push ups... Do some dip bar walk and turns... Do some walk on hands... Reverse planks... Like your driving and parking... Do some jumps... using a pole... to get height... Do some practice kicks using a pool ball... Leg in then kick... Jumping... 1 v 1... Do some euro steps and spins and double spins around the corners of the house... Turn the basket... All corner shot... Use the board... Keep it low... 3 moves... Behind the back... Back thru the legs... 1... 2... Cross... 1 v 1... Trick shots... Step back in a corner... Go back up from corner...

According to the Lifestyle section article of People magazine, “We wish we had good news to share, but Jack continues to decline and has all the symptoms one would anticipate with advanced Alzheimer’s,” she adds it doesn't look good. ( Etienne, 2024)

Darn crappy disease but dang he had an amazing life and tons of opportunity and travel?

This is sad.

First bruce willis now him, only solace is knowing it happened late in life then early on.

Now that I with alzeimers am free of that I can remember slowly my writing .,though some words spelled wrong .. and sometimes too many thoughts bring a big crazy unfiltered ramble but who cares some dam English major lol not I So I again three years ago stared off in space couldn’t hold a spoon but now. I live descent without my stifling family who jailed me up .., I am freee enough now to live but when bossed around you see the shouting anger cussing so just fyi I am giving you a clue

😢😢😢😩😢😣😢

Will jack be getting the alzheimer drug. I hope so.❤

Not great content Mark Brown!!🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🥹

He needs to take his Glucosamine and Congointin to fix the problem. I couldn't believe he became a snake oil salesman.

Such a terrible way for the world and his family to lose such a spectacular, important person. Jack Hanna taught me my deep love of everything that's alive, he raised me right. So sad.

All my love goes to Jack and his family and friends but do we need to put this man's private life on the news? Anyone that grew up watching him or felt the impact he had on everything he touched shouldn't "like" this. He IS and always will be a national treasure. Let him be
