Remembrances from colleagues on Twitter


Armin Shimerman
I have lost a great friend and the world has lost a great heart @AronEisenberg He was a man of conviction and enormous sensitivity and the best of humanity. Kitty and I grieve for Aron, his boys, and Malissa. Flights of angels my friend...you will be missed. There are no words...

Kitty Swink
As we got out of the car tonight, Armin looked up and saw a meteor streaking through the sky. I believe it was Aron lighting the world one more time.

Robert Hewitt Wolfe
Heartbreaking news. #DS9’s @AronEisenberg has passed away. Aron delt with health issues his whole life but never let that stop him from living it to the fullest. He was a talented actor and a wonderful person. He will be greatly missed.

Nana Visitor
This sweet spirit. I knew all this to be absolutely true. One of the bravest people I knew. I am devastated. Sending love to everyone who loved him and his family.

Penny Johnson Jerald
deafened by sobs. It’s Sunday morning and you are no longer on earth but in the heavens @AronEisenberg #DS9

Jeffrey Combs
My friend, my pal, Aron Eisenberg, has left us. Over the years it was always, always a joy to be in his company, to work with him, to play with him, to laugh with him. I admired his courage as he dealt with his lifelong health issues. He was a man filled with passion and love.

Chase Masterson
We are aching and sorry more than words can ever say. Rest In Peace, @AronEisenberg. We will always love you and Nog

We love you, Malissa. You are family, and you always will be

Ira Steven Behr
@AronEisenberg was a friend of mine. Tonight it’s hard to think of anything else except maybe to be reminded that all we have is each other to hold on to, to see us through, to give meaning to our lives. It’s going to be a long night.

David Zappone
Aron was perhaps the most compelling presence in our film, and I am proud to have had the opportunity to work with him, and more importantly, to have been his friend.

Kai de Mello-Folsom
I didn’t know @AronEisenberg nearly long enough, but immediately found a reliable and honest friend in him. He was a man of integrity, humor and so, so much caring for others. I will deeply miss my friend but will try to cherish the memories & times he made me smile... like this.

New reactions from Dax:

Nicole de Boer
today I shed so many tears for a friend who always made me smile. Our #startrekfamily has lost a bright light. Aron, you touched the hearts of so many with your warmth, talent, humor & incredible spirit. I will carry the smiles & laughs with me always. Safe journey, my friend

Terry Farrell
Dear Aaron, I will miss our playful spirited bantering and I will miss our deep conversations. I will miss your kind and loving self, thank you for our friendship. RIP.

Jonathan Frakes
Bless his sweet soul.

More from Kai de Mello-Folsom
Aron had one of the biggest hearts of anyone I knew & wasn’t afraid to wear it proudly. That, coupled w/ his honesty, energy & humor, made him an often eye-roll inducing, but totally irreplaceable friend.

R.I.P. Aron Eisenberg
Really sad day :-(
I would like to offer my deepest condolences to his friends and family.
 
Heartbreaking news. Nog was one of my favorite characters on the show and a lot of that came down to Aron's rich and nuanced performance of a person trying to find his way in life contrary to his own world's culture.

Rest in peace, Aron. Thank you for the memories.
 
Aron Eisenberg, you will be sadly missed by all of us here. A great talent has been lost. :(

Rest in peace. My thoughts are with his friends and family at this time.
 
Yeah, this is terrible. Aron didn't have the best health of course, but out of all the potential next passings from the main or semi-main cast, he was near the bottom of who I expected.

It's heartbreaking in general to hear of the passing of anyone, particularly someone still relatively young. But as a fan, it's also a sad because in recent videos it was clear he was getting exited that with a return to the 24th century he would possibly have a chance to reprise his character in some small way.
 
Wow, this is almost a little creepy, because I actually just watched It's Only A Paper Moon as part of my DS9 rewatch this morning.
Very sad to hear about this, I always really liked Nog and Eisenberg did a great job.
