Many TV viewers of the shows “Full House,” “Fuller House” and “America’s Funniest Home Videos” are saddened by the news of his unexpected passing, but those who knew him best are experiencing real grief that their friend is gone way too soon.
Candace Cameron Bure played Saget’s daughter on “Full House” and “Fuller House.” She was only 10 years old when she started playing the role of DJ Tanner, the oldest of three daughters on the show. She grew up with Saget making a big influence in her life, and they remained friends through the years.
After learning about Saget’s death, Cameron Bure posted a series of photos on Instagram. In two of them she was hugging Saget. In one of them, he was holding her hand while she wore a wedding dress for an episode of “Fuller House.” She wrote, “I love you sooooo much. I don’t want to say goodbye. 35 years wasn’t long enough.”
