Glee stars pay tribute to Corey Monteith on anniversary of his death

Yesterday marked three years since Corey Monteith, the Canadian actor most famous for his role in TV’s Glee, was found dead in his hotel room in Vancouver.

The 31-year-old’s death shocked the world, and today Monteith’s co-stars have been sharing their memories of the Calgary-born star on social media.

The tributes were led by his former partner Lea Michelle, while other cast members, including Matthew Morrison, Harry Shum Jr., Heather Morris, Jenna Ushkowitz, Kevin McHale, and Naya Rivera, also posted using the hashtag #3yearswithoutcory.

A literal giant with a giant heart. A goofball who had two goofy feet. He always took the time to listen to others problems even when he had many of his own. I’ll never forget how comfortable you made me feel my first day on set. Miss you, my giant friend. #3yearswithoutcory

Three years ago my best friend wasabout to get married, I was 7 months pregnant and was delivered the news that Cory had passed I was weary to get too emotional in fear that I would go into labor too early. Not only was cory the most genuine, always the guy to stop and say hi to fans, but he made everyone around him laugh….obv this photo is proof. He was our family. We miss u bud. #3yearswithoutcory
