Candace Cameron Bure, who played Danny’s eldest daughter DJ, tweeted about Saget and called him “one of the best human beings” she’d ever met. Dave Coulier, the man Uncle Joey, simply shared his love and referred to Saget as his “forever brother.”
“I don’t know what to say,” Bure wrote in the tweet. “I have no words. Bob was one of the best human beings I’ve ever known in my life. I loved him so much.”
“My heart is broken,” Coulier wrote. “I love you, Bob. Your forever brother, Dave.”
DJ and Joey weren’t the only members of the Full House family to share their love for Saget on Sunday night. John Stamos, who played Uncle Joey on the series, also posted some thoughts about the loss of his good friend.
“I am broken. I am gutted,” said Stamos. “I am in complete and utter shock. I will never ever have another friend like him. I love you so much Bobby.”
Full House was a smash hit for ABC in the late ’80s and early ’90s, telling the story of a widowed father of three (Saget) in San Francisco, who enlisted the help of his brother-in-law (Stamos) and best friend (Coulier) to help raise his family. The series ran for eight seasons from 1987 to 1995, airing a total of 192 episodes.
In 2016, Netflix brought the Tanner family back to television with the premiere of Fuller House, a sequel to the original series. This new show followed a now-adult DJ Tanner-Fuller, who brought her sister and best friend to live with her in the same San Francisco house after the death of her husband. While Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and Andrew Barber starred in Fuller House, the trio of Saget, Stamos, and Coulier still showed up from time to time. Saget appeared in 15 episodes of the sequel series.
