Silvio was a really sweet guy, who broke down barriers and changed the world with his work. https://t.co/MhNzrnLaWS

I am heartbroken. Silvio was one of the sweetest people I’ve ever known. Ugly Betty was a testament to his joy and talent. What a loss. #RIP https://t.co/gIchj2kjqA

Noooooo!!!!!!!! NOOOO! His poor family! Poor him! Ugh! I always felt such kinship with Silvio Horta. A fellow gay Cubanito from Miami who, like me, also went to NYU’s Tisch School Of The Arts. And we were around the same age. This is devastating! https://t.co/udfCfN2gWA

No. This is horrible, horrible news. Silvio was the sweetest guy. So talented and exciting to work with. Our collaboration on the pilot of “Ugly Betty” was one of the most terrific experiences. Devastating. Ugly Betty’ Creator Dies in Suicide – Variety https://t.co/OjwDrKjZpm
