"This breaks my heart to read," Newsday digital news manager Kimberly Yeun wrote. "I remember having lunch w/ Sunny Garcia few years ago to work on a story with @dave_reardon. He was very friendly and very open about his battle with depression. He coped by working out and being with family. Praying for a speedy recovery, Sunny."

"Sunny Garcia was a legend when I was in high school," another fan wrote. "I always looked up to him. He embodied Hawaiian surf culture. He made a lot of good noise. I hope he pulls through."

You’re in all of our thoughts @sunnygarcia. When I took this picture I remember joking that this was your Phleps face- you were so focused. A moment later a friend walked by and your face burst into a smile. Looking forward to that smile. https://t.co/mdNvXW9w7d pic.twitter.com/5XjNiwYUYN
