The series only lasted four seasons, but it is certainly one of the most cult of the 1990s.

Saved by the Bell on

Monday lost one of its main actors, Justin Diamond, who died at the age of 44 from the effects of throat cancer.

He played Screech, a goofy and awkward young geek, Zack's best friend and head over heels in love with Lisa Turtle.

Mark-Paul Gosselaar, who played Zack, praised Dustin Diamond's “comedic genius”.

Endearing character, Screech has made a deep impression on fans of the series.

Some recognized themselves in him, his clumsiness, his geek side.

Others mostly remember his wacky potential.

When the actor's death was announced, many of you paid tribute to him.

We've picked a few from the video above.
