— Don Van Natta Jr. (@DVNJr) February 13, 2015 Within minutes after the news broke, an outpouring of love, shock and pain deluged Twitter and Facebook as Carr’s colleagues at The New York Times as well as other members of the media, celebrities and fans expressed their deep respect for a man known for his talent and his integrity, his humility and his poise.
@carr2n was media. He was propping up the whole rickety stage. Now what? I feel like it's over.

David @carr2n understood deeply that nothing was simple, no one was just a hero or villain, we were our foibles and our acts of courage.

Disproving daily charges journalism has become merely regurgitation of trivia, @Carr2n was always creative, original and incisive.

As I left for home from the newsroom tonight, I waved goodbye to David Carr. Had no idea it would be the last time. What a loss

Tonight I will play for David Carr. Some of the most exciting/inspiring talks & dinners I have ever had were with him. I am heartbroken.

David Carr was equal parts sweetheart, truth-teller and ass-kicker. And such a great colleague/journalist. I can't believe this.

The only person who could adequately express how we all feel is David Carr.

David Carr collapsed in the newsroom he loved, doing what he loved, surrounded by those who loved him. RIP http://ift.tt/1CmZY5d

David Carr stood out because at a time when the news industry is struggling for its soul, he exemplified both soul and integrity. RIP

Watching all this grief for @carr2n pour forth and testimonials, it's a good reminder of what matters: Be good. Be kind. Be generous.

David Carr is one of the finest journalists and one of the best human beings I've ever known.

He told me the NYT would lift you up on its big shoulders and make you shine until you could shine on your own.

Outside of my family, handful of people I'd crawl through shards of glass to help. David was one of them. And i was 1 of thousands for him.

David Carr was so vivid, so vital, so smart, so funny, so no-bullshit, so essential, so one-of-a-kind. What a terrible thing.

Can't possibly find words. David Carr was brilliant, funny, generous. My heart breaks for his family+his legion of friends. Proud to be 1.

Hard to think of a journalist who wedded the old world with the new — and with as much humility and determination — as well as David Carr.

No one was a better critic of and believer in the fundamental goodness of the business of journalism. No one.
