Perry portrayed Fred Andrews, father to Archie Andrews, on the CW/Netflix show since it debuted in 2016.
Production on the set of Riverdale was suspended yesterday, after news of Perry's death was announced. Production remained shut down as of this morning, as well.
A number of his castmates sent messages of support to the actor after he suffered a massive stroke last week. Since his passing, many others have shared memorials via social media.
See some of the Riverdale cast and crew's tributes below.
I'm finding it hard to grasp that he will no longer be around to give long hugs and share his wisdom and kindness with all of us.

I'm thinking of his family. His children.
I pray for them to heal and find peace in this devastating loss.
My heart is broken. I will miss you so much Luke Perry. Sending all my love to your family. ❤️ #LukePerry

Every moment must count. Our sweet and dear friend Luke has passed. Words can't even... I love you so much brother. God Bless you and I can't wait to see you again down the road.

I'm totally heartbroken. Luke took me under his wing the day I was cast and made me feel like I belonged. He was the most generous, wise soul with unmatched kindness. He treated everyone with love and joy. We had so much fun. Praying for his family.

So heartbroken about Luke. He was a father, brother, friend, and mentor. Each night before he had to shoot a scene, he'd call me and we'd talk about...everything. I will miss those calls. And my heart goes out to all his family and friends. 💔 pic.twitter.com/2GaFkV2mI7
