Complications from pneumonia. Link

 

[Gary Mitchell]

Aww man. Rest in peace Mr. Ermey.

 

[Random_Spock]

I remember him as Sarge from the Toy Story movies. RIP sir.

 

[UncleRogi]

Sir, yes Sir!

RIP Mr. Ermey

EDIT: Saving Silverman was hilarious!

 

[EmoBorg]

R.I.P Sarge.

The odd thing is, on Friday NPR ran a story that started with an audio clip from Full Metal Jacket, and I thought "Oh I hope Lee Ermey hasn't died," and then was relieved when it was just part of the story. Then a couple of days later, he has died.

Much of Sgt. Hartman's unforgettable dialogue was made up by Ermey, the screenwriters couldn't come up with anything as good! I went to see FMJ three times the summer before my senior high school year, and my brother and I still quote it highly. Semper Fi Gunnery Sergeant.

 

[Push The Button]

Ermey built a great career out of just being himself.

Rest in peace Gunny, and have a beer with my father and the rest of your brother Marines when you get there.

WHAT IS THIS MICKEY MOUSE S#%T!

Rest in peace Gunny.

The boot camp part of Full Metal Jacket is the only part of the movie I really like. The Vietnam stuff was just ok. Ermey was just awesome. "What is your major malfunction?!?"

 

[drychlick]

enjoy him in Toy Story. R.I.P sir

 

[Tenacity]

Loved his show on the history channel. He knew what he was talking about and when he got the chance to fire a old weapon you could tell he was enjoying himself.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

I'm surprised not to have heard about this, RIP Gunny.

He was in the second X-Men movie. At least his voice was. Love his voice. FMJ was a masterpiece. He was perfect.
