October 28, 2024, marked a year since the world lost Matthew Perry, the beloved actor best known for his role as Chandler Bing on Friends. The anniversary stirred heartfelt tributes from his co-stars, who shared nostalgic photos and memories to honor his memory and legacy. Perry’s sudden passing in 2023 left a lasting impact on fans worldwide, who remember him as both a talented actor and a caring individual.

Jennifer Aniston led the remembrances, sharing a series of vintage photos from their days filming Friends. Her post, captioned with a simple “1 year ???🩹🕊?,” resonated with fans who poured out messages of love and support. Comments flooded in with messages like, “He is so deeply missed. Forever with us,” and “We’ll never stop missing him.” Aniston’s tribute struck a chord, with fans expressing how Perry’s humor and warmth had left a mark on their lives.

Perry’s death last year came as a shock to fans and co-stars alike. At the age of 54, he was found unresponsive in his Los Angeles home. The toxicology reports later revealed that he had suffered acute ketamine effects, along with drowning and coronary artery disease. Following this, the Los Angeles Police Department and the DEA launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his passing. This led to several arrests, including that of his assistant and a drug supplier, shedding light on Perry’s long battle with substance struggles.

Friends, which remains one of the most celebrated sitcoms of all time, catapulted Perry and his co-stars to global stardom. His witty, sarcastic portrayal of Chandler Bing became a fan favorite, making Perry a household name. Today, as his co-stars remember him, fans continue to watch Friends with nostalgia, grateful for the joy and laughter Perry brought.
