It is with great heartache and loss I share with you the passing of dear,dear Rene Auberjonois.His last message to me was entitled "Don't forget..." I know that I,Kitty,and all that knew him will never forget.The world seems noticeably emptier now. I loved him.
- Armin Shimerman, "Quark" on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
I love and respect Rene more than I can say right now. This beautiful soul. My heart. Oh
- Nana Visitor, "Kira Nerys" on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
I cannot express how much you meant to me. I will truly miss you my dear colleague, mentor, father figure, friend.
- Terry Farrell, "Jadzia Dax" on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
@reneauberjonois @DS9Doc the universe has one more shining light today. Thank you for casting me as Captain Kassidy Yates. I will think of you always R.I.P.
- Penny Johnson Jerald, "Kasidy Yates" on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Heartbroken. I lost a cherished friend today and the world lost a great artist.
Peace, René.
- Jeffrey Combs, "Brunt" and "Weyoun" in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, "Shran" in Star Trek: Enterprise
Rest in Paradise, @reneauberjonois. You were nothing but kind and loving to myself and everyone you met. You are with the stars now

Rene Auberjonois was a wonderful actor and an even better human being. It was an honor to write for him. A class act in every possible way. I'm heartbroken. "And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest." #DS9 When Rene was cast as Odo, he joked "I hope #DS9 will replace Benson on my tombstone." He will be remembered for both, for Boston Legal, for The Little Mermaid, & so much more. His portrayal of Odo, under all that latex, was subtle, emotional, & astounding. One of the greats.
- Robert Hewitt Wolfe, writer on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
I have just heard about the death of my friend and fellow actor @reneauberjonois. To sum up his life in a tweet is nearly impossible. To Judith, Tessa & Remy I send you my love & strength. I will keep you in my thoughts and remember a wonderful friendship with René.
- William Shatner, "Captain Kirk" on Star Trek
This is a terrible loss. Star Trek fans knew him as Odo from Deep Space Nine. We knew him as René. He was a wonderful, caring, and intelligent man. He shall be missed. When I look out to the stars, I shall think of you, friend.
- George Takei, "Sulu" on Star Trek
May ?@reneauberjonois? RIP he was one our finest actors and an even better man. I always looked up to him and I will continue to.
- Jonathan Frakes, "Will Riker" in Star Trek: The Next Generation
@reneauberjonois You were a spectacular artist from Altman film IMAGES to Star Trek: DS9 and the million performances in between. A devoted family man, a visual artist, and loving and loves le human being. Thanks for showing the world how to do it. #love #admiration
- Gates McFadden, "Dr Crusher" on Star Trek: The Next Generation
Rene was a great artist, a great man, and a great friend. He will be forever missed by all that knew him. Goodnight Sweet Prince.
- Brent Spiner, "Data" on Star Trek: The Next Generation
So sad to read this he was a wonderful man.
- Jonathan Del Arco, "Hugh" in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Picard
I was a great fan of Rene the actor before I got to meet the man and enjoy conversations with him. He was always a gentleman. There wasn't an ounce of phony in him. He was an artist of great integrity. My deepest sympathy to Judith, his children, and all who loved him.
- Robert Beltran, "Chakotay" in Star Trek: Voyager
Stunned to hear of the passing of @reneauberjonois So very sad at this moment #ripRenéAuberjonois #Odo #StarTrekDS9 He was always a class act and a consummate professional. He and his acting talent will be greatly missed.
- Garrett Wang, "Harry Kim" on Star Trek: Voyager
So, so sad.
RIP, Rene. @reneauberjonois

Rene Auberjonois 1940~2019.
A beloved member of our Star Trek family, among so many other decorated achievements on stage and screen. But above all, one of the sweetest humans I have ever met.
May he rest in God’s peace.
#ReneAuberjonois #RIP
- Doug Jones, "Saru" on Star Trek: Discovery
I am very sad to hear of the passing of René Auberjonois. His work on Deep Space Nine was especially inspiring to me as I approached being in a Star Trek show. And I was delighted to get to spend time with him at STLV, where I learned he was a totally delightful human being. RIP
- Anthony Rapp, "Paul Stamets" on Star Trek: Discovery
Thank you for all you gave us, René. What a brilliant talent and beautiful soul. My heart aches over this loss.

- Jayne Brook, "Admiral Cornwell" on Star Trek: Discovery
So so sad to hear of the passing of René Auberjonois. Deep Space 9 was the show that started my love for Star Trek, and that's in no small part due to his wonderful performance as Odo. May he rest in peace. #DS9 #ReneAuberjonois

No words to describe our loss.

Lung cancer...
I just saw it reported on the Star Trek facebook page, and I literally had to scroll back to see if I had read it correctly.
I remember his character in Warehouse 13 best, and it's thanks to that one that I remember that left is loose and right is tight, when turning a screw. "Lefty-loosie and righty-tighty."Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum
