Lori Loughlin, who played Rebecca "Aunt Becky" Donaldson in both Full House and Fuller House, told ET that "words cannot begin to express how devastated I am." She continued, "Rest well, my dear friend. I have no doubt you are making everyone in Heaven laugh until their cheeks hurt, just as you did here on Earth." Keep scrolling to see the sweet ways Saget’s former costars have honored his death. The producers' first choice to play the character of Danny Tanner was Bob Saget.

For the most part, Mary-Kate and Ashley stay away from the spotlight, unless it involves fashion-related events.

Over time, the three men, as well as the girls, bond and become closer to one another. Full House is an American television sitcom created by Jeff Franklin for ABC. The show is about widowed father Danny Tanner who enlists his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis and childhood best friend Joey Gladstone to help raise his three daughters, eldest Donna Jo Margaret (D.J. for short), middle child Stephanie and youngest Michelle in his San Francisco home. It aired from September 22, 1987 to May 23, 1995, broadcasting eight seasons and 192 episodes. "We've always been so deeply connected since the day we met when I was 10 years old," she wrote, in part.

He famously voiced the namesake character in Disney's Aladdin, reprising the role multiple times over the years for supplemental videos and games. Weinger also cameoed in What I Like About You, Scrubs and Walker, Texas Ranger before signing on for Fuller House. Loughlin became a maternal figure on Full House, playing Rebecca Donaldson, later Rebecca Katsopolis after she married Uncle Jesse. She got to know the family as Danny's co-host on Wake Up, San Francisco, later marrying and welcoming twins with Jesse. Sweetin charmed audiences as middle child Stephanie Tanner, the snarky daughter who loved to kick it with Mr. Bear and was a lovable annoyance to D.J.

In October 2023, Stamos released his memoir, "If You Would Have Told Me," which chronicled his rise to fame, his time on "Full House," and the sexual abuse he experienced as a child. In 2014, he wed Melissa Bring, with his Full House costars at his side. The twin sisters went on to release a number of successful straight-to-video movies (Passport to Paris, anyone?), star in two more TV shows and launch their own company, Dualstar, which they took over as joint CEOs in 2004. Gradually, they both exited the acting world — Ashley hasn't had a real role in more than a decade, while Mary-Kate held on a little longer with stints in shows like Weeds. Now, they head up two fashion brands, The Row, a couture line, and the ready-to-wear label Elizabeth and James. The actress has stayed busy in made-for-TV holiday movies, too, and serves as chief creative officer for the Great American Family network.

Following his split from the screenwriter, 65, the Raising Dad alum went on to wed Kelly Rizzo in 2018 in California. The series experienced heavy turnover with its writing staff throughout its run. The first season in particular had at least three writing staff changes, with Lenny Ripps (who remained with the show until the early part of the fourth season, by then serving as a creative consultant) and Russell Marcus being the only writers surviving the changes through the entire season. Show creator and executive producer Jeff Franklin was the only writer to remain with the series throughout its entire eight-season run (Franklin also wrote and directed several episodes during the first five seasons).

The actress concluded her statement about Saget's death by dusting off her catchphrase from "Full House." "There aren’t enough words to express what I’m feeling today. Nor are they big enough to capture even a slice of who he was," Sweetin began her statement on Instagram. The Uncle Jesse performer signed the scribe with the names of his fellow co-stars, "John, Dave, Candace, Jodie, Lori, Andrea, Scott, Jeff, Ashley and Mary-Kate." The service, which was attended by at least 300 people according to TMZ, was held at Mt. Sinai Memorial Park Cemetery in the Hollywood Hills.

Coulier has been married to photographer and producer Melissa Bring since 2014. He has a son named Luc Coulier from his past marriage to Jayne Modean. In January 2023, People magazine reported that Ashley married artist Louis Eisner in late December in a private ceremony that took place in Bel-Air. She competed on season 22 of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" and got eliminated shortly before the semifinals.

Jodie Sweetin, who played daughter Stephanie Tanner, wrote an emotional tribute on Instagram Monday. The family asked for privacy during this time but invited fans to "join us in remembering the love and laughter that Bob brought to the world." Another of Saget's "Full House" costars, John Stamos, tweeted that he was "broken," "gutted," and "in complete and utter shock" over the news.

Stephanie Tanner was portrayed by Jodie Sweetin.

"It brought them so much joy during the darkness of the pandemic. Within minutes I received this video." Actor Josh Gad took to Instagram to share a video of Saget sending his two daughters, Ava and Isabella, a sweet message in late 2020. "I’m endlessly grateful that HIMYM brought Bob Saget into my life. I’ll hear his voice in my head for the rest of my days," he concluded his thread, with a photo of the two smiling together. "There are people who leave the earth and you’re haunted by all the things you didn’t tell them, all the love that was unexpressed," Radnor continued. "Luckily that wasn’t the case with Bob. We adored each other and we told each other."

Although the series was set in San Francisco, the sitcom itself was taped at the Warner Bros. Outside of certain excerpts in the opening title sequences, including Alamo Square Park's Painted Ladies, the only episode to have actually been taped in San Francisco was the first episode of season eight, "Comet's Excellent Adventure". There were also a few episodes which were filmed on-location elsewhere, most notably Hawaii in the season three premiere "Tanner's Island", and at Walt Disney World for the two-part sixth-season finale "The House Meets the Mouse". Saget is survived by his wife, Kelly Rizzo, and his three daughters — Aubrey, 34, Lara, 32, and Jennifer, 29 — with whom he shares with ex-wife Sherri Kramer.

"What a wonderful guy. He always went out of his way to make me comfortable and talked nonstop about his kids. Such a loss." "If you saw any of the many thoughts from people who knew him personally a word that came up a lot was 'the sweetest,' Kimmel said, choking back tears. "Bob was the sweetest. Jimmy Kimmel took the time to acknowledge Saget's impact in a tearful opening monologue ahead on Monday's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live." "I feel vulnerable, I feel less protected without him in the world," Ross said. "Bob's effusive and repeated expression of love is the greatest gift that he left people because all we have is the pain of his going," Mayer said. "The affairs are in order in terms of not having to wonder how Bob felt about us."

Saget led the beloved show as father and local news broadcaster Danny Tanner, raising his three daughters alone after his wife Pam died in a car accident. "Whether playing a loving father on 'Full House' or hosting the early years of 'America’s Funniest Home Videos' with his signature wit and charm, Bob always knew how to connect with families through heart and humor," the statement continued. "Our thoughts are with his family as we mourn the passing of such an incredibly gifted comedian and talent."
