Regrettably, Perry has tragically passed away from an apparent drowning. In the wake of this heartbreaking news, fans of Friends have taken to social media to express their sincere condolences and honor the remarkable impact Perry had on their lives through his comedic brilliance.
Perry was the heart of Friends thanks to his comedic timing
Perry’s character of Chandler was known as a sarcastic, non-serious man who would do anything for his friends with a sassy remark in his back pocket.
Chandler had been Ross Geller's (David Schwimmer) closest companion since their college days. He became an integral part of the group not only because of his friendship with Ross, but also due to his eventual romantic involvement with Ross' sister, Monica (Courteney Cox).
Following the news of Perry's passing, devoted Friends fans have flocked to social media platforms to honor Perry's life and acknowledge the profound influence he had on each of them.
Fans are deeply saddened by the departure of a comedic icon, and we can only trust that these devoted fans will persistently endorse his remarkable talent and enduring legacy for years to come.
