“This one cuts deep. Johnny Hardwick was a national treasure and his portrayal of Dale Gribble is one of the finest performances in a show stacked with incredible characters. He helped make King of the Hill so timeless,” Justin Case.

“Gutted to hear about the passing of Johnny Hardwick. Dale Gribble absolutely stole any scene on KOTH that he was the focus of. Undeniably he was the funniest character on the show, and part of that came from Hardwick’s voice performance. He will be missed,” a fan wrote.

“RIP Johnny Hardwick. King of the Hill is a beautiful show. It portrays deeply flawed characters who nonetheless are capable of great humanity. Dale’s eccentricities and foibles were always matched against the immense unconditional love he had for his family,” another fan wrote.

“Johnny Hardwick was one of my biggest supporters when we put out our ‘King of the Hill’ merch and I’m forever grateful for his kindness. The show means a lot to me and losing Johnny is devastating. We love you Johnny!” Rockin Pins.

“Rest easy Johnny Hardwick. Thanks for all the laughs, especially this one. Dale Gribble will live on forever, because death is merely a conspiracy propagated by the government,” a fan shared.
