RIP Chuck Norris (1940 — 2026)

[MrBirdman]

Family has announced he passed away yesterday.

While I was never really a fan of his genre, one cannot deny his prominence in popular culture. Growing up, Norris made frequent appearances in our teenage jokes and banter. His politics were not mine and rather “eccentric” at times; however, in contrast to his martial persona on screen, he was by all accounts a gentle, kind, and charitable man.

Rest in Peace Chuck.

RIP Chuck

RIP Chuck, was a big fan of all of the cheesy Chuck Norris jokes. Always made me smile if not laugh out loud. Maybe this will start another round of Heaven and Hell themed Chuck Norris jokes.

They rushed him in for emergency surgery, but the scalpel couldn't pierce his skin. RIP to a legend.

The doctors were clearly too afraid to handle him. RIP. I've already downloaded a bunch of cheesy 80s movies ready to relive.

He only allowed death to win. R.I.P.

He made the cover of Cigar Aficionado. I bought 50 copies. The only man ever to be able to slam a revolving door. We should never ever forget above all things. The quickest way to a man's heart is with Chuck Norris's fist. May the Cuban Cigar Gods welcome him with open arms and love.

For me, one of the greatest Americans. Same league as John Wayne. A true national treasure and icon. RIP.

Chuck Norris’ tears could have cured cancer. Too bad he never cried.

He once roundhouse kicked a coal mine and it became a diamond mine...

He makes onions cry.

He walked into the Pearly gates only to tell God he was sitting in his seat.

He will be missed. I met him once in person at a local shooting range where I know the owner. They had closed the range for the day to do a video of Chuck shooting a .500 S&W that was going to be used as part of a charity event. My son and I stood off to the side to watch the filming. He was nothing but polite to all those involved with the taping. When it was done, Chuck looked around, saw us standing there, and walked over to introduce himself to the two of us. We talked for a bit about the filming and his various charitable endeavors and then he asked my son if he would like to take a picture together. My son of course was thrilled. Just a class act.

Cigar Aficionado has honoured Chuck Norris' passing by releasing that mid-1998 article online today. The link to it can be found below:

This is certainly the funniest memorial thread I can remember. A fitting tribute for the only man to start a fire with an ice cube.

Every night, the Boogeyman checked his closet for Chuck Norris.

Nice. I thought you were Chuck until I enlarged the picture lol.

He only agreed to pass on so that he could roundhouse kick Satan in the face.

Chuck Norris hits you so fast you think you're surrounded.

RIP Chuck, a true American Icon!

125 Lonsdales AND Bobby Bonilla? CA was a beast.

He actually died 10 years ago. It's just taken Death this long to get up the courage to tell him.
