Chris Evan’s tribute to Jimmy Rich and Robert Downey Jr.’s friendship was only a glimpse into their relationship.
As Downey Jr. pointed out in his tribute to Rich, the Marvel crew member was more of a “brother” to him.
So for Downey Jr., the loss of his right-hand man was like losing an important piece in his puzzle.
Serving as his children’s “uncle” and personal assistant for over two decades, Rich became a member of RDJ’s family and an important player in the actor’s continuing sobriety.
