The political and media worlds are mourning the loss of David Gergen, who died on Friday at the age of 83 due to Lewy body dementia. 

Gergen, who served in various capacities during both Republican and Democratic administrations between the 1970s and 1990s, was more well-known for his role in TV punditry, especially at CNN, where he was the network’s senior political analyst.

The two-time Peabody Award winner offered sharp political analysis and was a frequent guest on CNN programming, including Anderson Cooper 360 and Erin Burnett OutFront, and was part of the network’s election team.

“David Gergen was a beloved member of the CNN family—always happy to share his wisdom and his spotlight with others,” the network said in a statement. “A political scholar who served four presidents of both parties, an adoring father and dedicated husband, a senior statesman in every sense of the word, and a tireless educator. But above all else, David was a relentlessly kind and warm person. David brought the same level of excellence and care to his role at CNN that he did to all aspects of his life. Our staff, contributors, and audiences are better informed because of his towering influence. We will never forget the lessons in compassion and humility that he taught us. Our thoughts are with David’s wife, Anne, and his children, Katherine and Christopher.”

Newsers from within CNN and outside mourned and celebrated Gregen’s passing with on-air and social media tributes.
