Dustin Diamond s death has left his former
Saved By the Bell co-stars devastated. Upon learning the 44-year-old actor passed away from cancer on Monday, February 1,
Mario Lopez and a number of his other colleagues were quick to express their heartbreak over the sudden loss.
Tori did not take long to send her condolences via Instagram. My 1st onscreen love Dustin Diamond got his Angel wings today. Before there was David and Donna there was Screech and Violet. Dustin was my first on-screen kiss. He welcomed me with open arms onto the set of Saved By the Bell , she began her message.
AC Slater actor Mario Lopez shared a photo of the two together on Twitter. Dustin, you will be missed my man, he wrote. The fragility of this life is something never to be taken for granted. Prayers for your family will continue on.
In a separate interview with
Variety, Lopez reflected on his time working with Dustin. He was iconic, he said. In general, his little looks and facial expressions and voice and the way it cracked, it was just the quintessential goofy, lovable fun nerd and it really resonated with the kids. That was all him; he was kind of like Screech in real life.
