R.I.P. Robin Williams: The world loses one of it's best performers

Yesterday, in the late afternoon, the world lost Robin Williams, one of it's best actors and comedians. Known for his energetic style, many didn't know Williams spent years struggling with alcoholism and drug abuse, which led to bouts of depression. Eventually, this depression and constant battle with alcohol and drugs finally led Williams to commit suicide in his home in Marin County, which is near where I live. This hit hard for me and everyone else, as Williams was a beloved performer and is considered one of the kindest celebrities, as well as one of the most talented. He also, like I said, lived in the area where I live so people I knew (including my dad) had run into him several times over the years and said he was a great guy from the short time they met him. He will be sorely missed and I hope that he's finally found peace.
