Many members of the Glee family have already released touching tributes about Monteith and the positive influence he had on everyone in his life. Former co-star Dianna Agron described Monteith as "generous and kind" with a "smart, curious mind," while Harry Shum Jr. rememebered his friend as "kindhearted. Incredibly funny. Extremely passionate."
