Finally, CelebMagnet is happy to report some news about Gary Coleman that doesn’t break my heart. His former agent, Victor Perillo, is making sure Gary will be properly honored after his death by planning a memorial in honor of his former client. Perillo tells RadarOnline.com: “I’m planning a proper memorial for the industry to say goodbye to one of the greatest child actors ever; I’m planning it with NBC and Norman Lear and it will be something for everyone.” He explains, “Gary Coleman was an international star and he should be celebrated as such both in life and death.” 


In the meantime, plans to cremate Coleman are still underway. Perillo adds, “From what I understand the cremation was supposed to happen sometime last night after Anna Gray, named executor in Coleman’s 2005 will, viewed the body.” Coleman’s body has been awaiting cremation at the Lake Hills Memorial Mortuary & Cemetery in Sandy, Utah. Update: Per ET Coleman’s body was just cremated.  
 


Gary Coleman, Dead At 42

BREAKING NEWS.
  Gary Coleman has died as the result of a brain hemorrhage he suffered after a fall earlier this week. Gary’s wife, Shannon, made the decision to pull life support earlier this morning. Gary is best known for his role as Arnold Coleman in the popular 80’s sitcom, Diff’rent Strokes. There will be a press conference at the hospital at 3:00 PM PT. Gary was 42.

I like to remember Gary by mentioning a quote from Diff’rent Strokes:
Arnold Jackson: “Be careful with my goldfish. His name’s Abraham.”
Philip Drummond (Adoptive dad): “I’ve never seen a black goldfish before.”
Arnold Jackson: “That’s okay. He never saw a rich white man before either.”

If Gary is new to you, or if you just want to remember Gary, here is a video of his best work:
