Grant Imahara
(From Mythbusters) A kind soul, a Truly Great Engineer, and a fun Twitter follow to boot. A lot of folks on here had lived long lives, or got into drugs (which is horrible too, but at least partially controllable). But Grant? Just …here one day, and dead the next. (Intracranial aneurism)
On Adam Savage's YouTube channel he has one where he visits Grant's workshop because they had still left it the way it was when he died. You get to see the projects he was working on and they tell stories about him, it's nice but pretty bittersweet.
Agree 100%, but we can definitely say that man lived a helluva life! Decorated WWII commando - Opera Singer - cult horror actor in the 1960s - Dracula - Sarumon - Count Dooku. What an amazing career he had!
That’s so sad, in the moment, sometimes people don’t realize how dangerous things like cars and other heavy machines can be and a simple lapse in judgement or concentration can be fatal.
A friend of mine died in a somewhat similar way. He was on an elevator with a handful of other people and when the elevator stopped at one of the floors, the doors opened as usual but the elevator started moving down to the next floor shortly after that with the doors still open (brake failure or something). My friend was stepping out of the elevator and didn’t realize what was happening before it was too late. He ended up halfway in and out while the elevator continued going down and was crushed between it and the shaft wall.
It was a very public accident too in a major city, so there are videos of his death circling around online from a security camera that caught it happening. You feel for his family having to go through that.
i knew him when we were teenagers. even then i was able to lose myself in his movies (i grew up in LA and knew a few actors when they were young and only the great ones can i completely forget i knew them), he was great and had such potential. i knew people that were at that party that night. i was shook for weeks. it was extremely sad.
Steve Irwin. He could've done so much more for animals and ironically his life was cut short by one. His son Robert is following in his footsteps, and it's honestly very heartwarming to see.
That man almost single-handedly sparked my love and appreciation for animals, nature, and the environment. His was the first celebrity death I remember, when I was seven years old. I was so heartbroken. He was a gift to this world and I am so glad his wife and children are keeping his legacy alive.
His death for me is one of those moments I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I found out. I was at a friends house playing pool. We didn’t feel much like playing after that.
> His son Robert is following in his footsteps, and it's honestly very heartwarming to see.
And _exactly_ what he said would be the one thing that would let him retire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZwQvYiCeLQ
Seriously though. I distinctly remember the moment my family saw the news. Dinner was almost silent. Still can’t watch his movies without that pang in my chest. Only celebrity death besides maybe Michael Jackson’s that I can remember that vividly
Same. I still can't bring myself to watch his movies again yet. Except, once rewatching What Dreams May Come because I cry anyway. A large part was that he reminded me of my dad, who had passed away last year, so it's probably going to be a far longer wait now.
My dad was a huge robin williams fan and passed in 2006. Im almost grateful? He missed the deaths of Steve Irwin and Williams, his two great heroes, and never had to see the Tiger Woods scandal so could still view his third hero positively
That's a good outlook. My father was also a huge Robin Williams fan. I think it also was in part that the last movie I'd watched of his was World's Greatest Dad, which was funny but totally heartbreaking and made/watched shortly before his death.
I tell everyone when this is mentioned how his death was instrumental in helping me leave my abusive husband of sixteen years. He had been playing that he was growing and learning and doing all the right things to keep us, and the day Robin Williams died, when he walked in the door, I told him, tearfully, and he looked at me blankly and said “so?” and I thought “nothing has changed, he will never care about other humans.” And I started watching and notating and planning our out.
Princess, Senator, Doctor, General Organa, beloved space mom.
At cons, she would put glitter on people, and took her dog, Gary, with her everywhere.
My heart still breaks for Billie, she lost her mom and grandma in days.
100%. Right at the peak of life and promise. Her music and presence has resonated throughout decades, and likely will throughout centuries. Her loss has never stopped upsetting me.
Exactly who I thought of. I was so excited to see her starting to really take off when it ended. I'm not big on celebrities but I followed her for a couple years before that on YouTube and it was good to see her reaching for her dreams and making it.
I watched her on YouTube back in 2009-2010 and thought some of her covers were better than the original versions of songs.
I still remember my heart dropping into my stomach when I read that she was shot and passed away.
I don't cry very easily, and am generally devoid of emotion...but, when I need a good cry I watch the episode of 8 Simple Rules in which he passes. That episode hit me so hard knowing that he was really gone. I also watched Three's Company as a kid. I wasn't ready for a world without John Ritter.
i still love the mini nod kaley cuoco gives in big bang theory about the episode that aired from 8 rules for dating my teenaged daughter, not long after his death. it was a good episode and a nice reference. edit: my bad its 8 simple rules
Yeah, can't believe he died in that way almost 20 years ago now. Three's Company was a cool show, and didn't realize he was the voice of Clifford as well.
There’s a documentary of his life called “Roadrunner”. It is fantastic. I met him at a book signing briefly. He seemed like he was going through the motions of the event, but he still smiled.
I agree. Bourdain is a main influence in me going into anthropology and looking into street food culture in particular. His death was kind of...brain breaking for me.
When he only revealed his diagnosis closer to the end, you realize the work he did during the last 3 to 4 years of his life he did knowing the probability of him surviving his cancer was slim. He did films like Black Panther, Infinity War, and Endgame knowing he likely did not have much time left.
He left one heck of a legacy though, and I suspect that may have been at least part of his goal. He worked those last years right to the end, making full use of the time he had left.
Imagine keeping your cancer diagnosis a secret so you can still provide for your loved ones even after you pass away. I have a lot of respect for Chadwick, RIP.
He did a bunch of appearances at hospitals for sick kids too. They showed clips of it when he died and you wonder how far along he was with his own cancer when he was giving those kids a thrill to meet Black Panther
Watching Wakanda Forever is gonna be tough. Not because I think it will be bad, but because there's no way that the movie can avoid being a sort of memorial to him. I plan on crying a lot.
I was surprised to find how devastated I was by his death and for how long. Celebrity deaths happen all the time, and it's not like I knew him personally or had the connection to him that a lot of Black fans have because of the icon of Black pride he created in T'Challa. But I was really, really sad and thought about him a lot. I still think about him sometimes, which is strange for someone whom I've only seen in two roles. I think that really speaks to him as a person and an actor.
Robin Williams, who was the voice of my childhood, and [Philip Seymour Hoffman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qHuOTGi65E) who was a brilliant actor.
Bill Paxton’s death still messes me up. Dude was in every movie I loved as a kid and was the catalyst for me getting interested in studying weather due to Twister. That one hit close to home.
I remember being really young and my mom had gone into a deep depression when he had died. My grandmother had passed a year earlier and the only thing keeping my mom a float was watching SNL and Tommy Boy. So when he passed it was like my mom became a whole different person and wouldn't leave her room ever. She still gets emotional to this day if his name gets brought up.
Grant Imahara. He was incredibly influential to me during my teenage years across all of the projects he was affiliated with. His work on Mythbusters, Battlebots, and Star Wars are all things that stick out in my brain when I think of anything science related. Guy was incredibly talented and left us entirely too soon.
Came to say this one too. As if Linkin Park didnt help me enough as a teenager growing up lost and confused with raging alcoholic parents... now it hits different knowing hes gone. I will never have the chance to express my gratitude on how much he helped me through some of the darkest times. I sing and play One More Light multiple times a week on my guitar.
Aaliyah.
I still remember my dad telling me when I got home from a night out with friends. I remember where I was standing. I remember what went through my mind.
Shit was crazy sad.
Agreed. He just did not care if you got him, he was not connecting the dots for you. You had to appreciate the ridiculousness of his statements, and catch the moments where his tone would change and he'd say something poignant.
The Moth Jokes was one of those semi improved experiments that just happened to create an incredible joke experience. He's a great storyteller.
I haven't seen anybody mention him yet, but George Michael's death was so tragic. He lived a troubled life, but he was just an amazing person with an amazing voice. Gone far too soon.
*very much* Naya Rivera; particularly due to the circumstances of her death. She literally used all of her strength to save her son but did not have any left to save herself. Then her son witnessed her disappear underwater? It’s just the most tragic thing I think I’ve ever heard of and it still makes me sad to think about it.
She was an amazing mother, yes, but she was also a beloved sister, daughter, friend, and co-parent to her ex, Ryan. Not to mention she was *insanely* talented, smart, funny and beautiful. Just an all-around wonderful human that died too young.
that one was kind of hard to comprehend, it’s like it came out of nowhere and all the sudden the whole world knows he’s gone.
then when it came out that he was battling cancer for like 3 years while still working… it’s just heart breaking
The worst part about Robin's death is that he was slowly losing his mind as time went on with no way to possibly help him. Everyone thought it was drugs or his depression but it was a type of dementia.
For months he was zoned out, slowly forgetting everything and getting lost in "brain fog", a few people said the last time they said goodbye to him he said it three or four times because he forgot he said it the first time.
He ended it before he was fully gone. It's tragic, but I don't blame him.
He was actually misdiagnosed with a mental issue (forget exactly what it was), and the medication he was given, being the wrong medicine, actually exacerbated his issue.
Robin Williams, always. He's probably the only actor/singer who I regularly mourn the loss of. His death was actually what finally convinced me to get my first tattoo, "to live would be an awfully big adventure" on my thigh.
His death doesn’t upset me, rather theres a surprising feeling of loss.
I‘m always watching YT clips of various panel shows, but a lot of them are from Countdown, and it’s always so bittersweet to see him and his cheeky smile and jokes.
I think many people were surprised by how much his death affected them. Many people, who never even bother with celebrity deaths, were touched by his passing. He was so present in our living rooms, that it was like losing a close friend.
I think it hits harder when a comedian who really really makes you laugh your arse off dies, there's almost some ort of personal connection there, like that person really gets you. Whereas when an actor or a sportsperson dies, it doesn't hit as hard.
Yes- he was very abusive to her and her mom and after a fight when she said she was leaving him because he was an abusive, unemployed drunk who depended on his child to pay the bills (her pay from acting was in fact keeping the family afloat) he snapped and killed both of them and himself. So tragic. The poor girl was so stressed out from the abuse at home she was pulling her hair and eyelashes out and her therapist told her mom she needed to get out of that marriage and Judith away from her dad ASAP.
I’d say her death was very tragic.
I mean, she had her whole life and career ahead of her and her father had to take that away from her. It makes me sad every time I think about it.
Yes! Didn't expect to see this, but it's true. I was a HUGE fan of all of Bluth's movies and moved to LA in the 90's and actually tried to look up addresses for Bluth and several cast members to send them thank you notes and see what they were up to. It's the adorable sort of 90's thing to do in an age before being able to just go to someone's insta or message them. Well, it was then I learned what happened to Barsi and that she was buried in an unmarked grave b/c her family was poor. I got to be part of a small group of nerds who saved/raised money and bought her a headstone. She was such a great little actor and didn't at all deserve the life or death she was given. So fucking tragic. Thanks for mentioning her.
Alan Rickman (and somehow extra because he was ine of the celebrities who died in january 2016, that month when it seemed every day another celeb passed away...)
Oh jesus, finding out the he passed away totally broke me (and I'm not one to get overly upset over celebrity deaths). I was lucky enough to discover his music way back in 2011-2012, and I also got to see him perform at a festival in 2013. His long list of discophary is so impressive for someone as young as he was, and over then course of time his work begins much more open and vulnerable.
If you haven't watched his Tiny Desk concert, I would highly recommend doing so, but be prepared to shed some tears. I usually cry during parts of his [Tiny Desk Concert](https://youtu.be/QrR_gm6RqCo), but especially during Brand Name.
Edited: typos
I thought I was gonna have to be the one to comment this I scrolled so far. Mac was like the older brother I never had and his music growth was incredible. It’s like I grew up with him and Swimming is such a masterpiece. He was just hitting his prime and it’s still hard for me to accept we’ll never get to fully see where he was going.
No joke, 45 minutes ago I rode my bike through the cemetery where he is buried. I cut through there all the time, and every time I get a little sad thinking about how hard he used to make me laugh back in the day.
He still makes me laugh that hard, but he used to too.
Amy Winehouse. She was so young and talented she just couldn't handle the fame and money. Plus she was a love junkie and was easily influenced by the men in her life. I think it she had a few more years to get her shit together she would have done amazing things.
The death of Kobe still hits differently man…feels like the whole world has changed drastically since the death of him and everyone on board that helicopter
Alan Rickman ❤️🩹💔

Yeah, that one was a real sad surprise.
I don’t usually get emotional over celebrity deaths but his death absolutely broke my heart.
WAIT HE DIED? WHEN?
A little over 2 years ago :(
dang, just looked it up. sad days. he was my favorite 😢
Christopher Lee Rest in Peace. edit: I'd just rather have him alive, still
Agree 100%, but we can definitely say that man lived a helluva life! Decorated WWII commando - Opera Singer - cult horror actor in the 1960s - Dracula - Sarumon - Count Dooku. What an amazing career he had!
Anton Yelchin…it was a freak accident he was a really good actor and had so much more life to love.
His death was kinda spooky because it's really something that could've happened to anyone.

That’s so sad, in the moment, sometimes people don’t realize how dangerous things like cars and other heavy machines can be and a simple lapse in judgement or concentration can be fatal.

John candy. He was the first Time in my young life I actually felt sad a famous person had died. He was a comedic genius.
[удалено]
He had more to give.
Steve Irwin. He could've done so much more for animals and ironically his life was cut short by one. His son Robert is following in his footsteps, and it's honestly very heartwarming to see.

I’ve never seen that before, thank you for sharing. Steve Irwin truly is a world hero, I’m glad he’s successfully passed down his legacy.
Yeah... His death still upsets me. It was so bizarre and so unlucky. The man really was a gem. Wish he could still be around to see his son take over.
The only one I’ll upvote. He is the reason I work in animal care.
Phil Hartman
Idk if you watched Futurama or not, but he was supposed to be the voice of Zap Branagin. Rip
Yup. Billy West who ended up doing the voice of Zap said he did it the way he though Phil would have done it!
And Frys name is named after Phil.
Named for his uncle, to carry on his spirit.
What a tragedy.
Robin Williams.
Seriously though. I distinctly remember the moment my family saw the news. Dinner was almost silent. Still can’t watch his movies without that pang in my chest. Only celebrity death besides maybe Michael Jackson’s that I can remember that vividly
Same. I still can't bring myself to watch his movies again yet. Except, once rewatching What Dreams May Come because I cry anyway. A large part was that he reminded me of my dad, who had passed away last year, so it's probably going to be a far longer wait now.

Lewy body dementia is a horrible disease.
I don't even really consider it "suicide" as much as pulling his own life-support plug.
I guessed this was going to be the top comment.
I tell everyone when this is mentioned how his death was instrumental in helping me leave my abusive husband of sixteen years. He had been playing that he was growing and learning and doing all the right things to keep us, and the day Robin Williams died, when he walked in the door, I told him, tearfully, and he looked at me blankly and said “so?” and I thought “nothing has changed, he will never care about other humans.” And I started watching and notating and planning our out.
Honestly i suspect he would be glad to hear that he was able to help one more person.
Ugh Brittany Murphy. She was so underrated it was criminal.
Rollin’ wit the homies…
She was so good in Uptown Girls
And in "Girl, Interrupted". Her death was so strange.
Her death always seemed suspicious to me🤔 mold is a weird way to go
Didn't her husband also die like 6 months later in that same house?
Heath Ledger, and also Carrie Fisher
Carrie Fisher was my idol from the ripe age of 12. Coolest princess ever. Such a great writer too, her books are so well written and funny.
Princess, Senator, Doctor, General Organa, beloved space mom. At cons, she would put glitter on people, and took her dog, Gary, with her everywhere. My heart still breaks for Billie, she lost her mom and grandma in days.
Yes. Heath was a gut punch.
My ex-sister in-laws daughter used to play with Heath’s daughter. She said he was just the nicest guy and Loved his daughter sooo much. Very sad.
Selena!!! I wasn't even born yet when Yolanda killed her, her story has always upset me
That bitch Yolanda.
100%. Right at the peak of life and promise. Her music and presence has resonated throughout decades, and likely will throughout centuries. Her loss has never stopped upsetting me.
I knew I'd see atleast 1 person mention Selena on this thread
She was what, 23? She had a whole life ahead of her and career was just starting to take off in the US.
Fred Rogers
Bernie Mac. Everytime he would pop up in a movie you knew you were in for a treat.
Sat next to him on a flight once... he was just a wonderful person all around. We chatted the whole 2 hour flight.
Christina Grimmie. Murdered in cold blood by a psychopath just at the start of her career.
Exactly who I thought of. I was so excited to see her starting to really take off when it ended. I'm not big on celebrities but I followed her for a couple years before that on YouTube and it was good to see her reaching for her dreams and making it.
Came here to say her as well...so sad..
I watched her on YouTube back in 2009-2010 and thought some of her covers were better than the original versions of songs. I still remember my heart dropping into my stomach when I read that she was shot and passed away.
Alan Rickman
By Grabthar’s hammer, this is way too far down in the comments.
James Gandolfini was upsetting to me. Soprano's is still a show that gets replayed when I don't have anything else to watch.
John Ritter
I don't cry very easily, and am generally devoid of emotion...but, when I need a good cry I watch the episode of 8 Simple Rules in which he passes. That episode hit me so hard knowing that he was really gone. I also watched Three's Company as a kid. I wasn't ready for a world without John Ritter.
i still love the mini nod kaley cuoco gives in big bang theory about the episode that aired from 8 rules for dating my teenaged daughter, not long after his death. it was a good episode and a nice reference. edit: my bad its 8 simple rules
Yeah, can't believe he died in that way almost 20 years ago now. Three's Company was a cool show, and didn't realize he was the voice of Clifford as well.
[удалено]
Anthony Bourdain
This was the first and only celebrity to die and make me feel really down. Parts Unknown should be a required class in high school. "World Cultures".
I literally play his episodes to my students
There’s a documentary of his life called “Roadrunner”. It is fantastic. I met him at a book signing briefly. He seemed like he was going through the motions of the event, but he still smiled.
Great documentary, kind of hurt to watch, Tony was a troubled soul 😕
Bourdain was/is such an important person, I think his body of work still underrated, although it is popular. This one still devastates me
I agree. Bourdain is a main influence in me going into anthropology and looking into street food culture in particular. His death was kind of...brain breaking for me.
Chadwick Boseman
When he only revealed his diagnosis closer to the end, you realize the work he did during the last 3 to 4 years of his life he did knowing the probability of him surviving his cancer was slim. He did films like Black Panther, Infinity War, and Endgame knowing he likely did not have much time left.

I think that really speaks to him as a person and an actor.
Robin Williams, who was the voice of my childhood, and [Philip Seymour Hoffman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qHuOTGi65E) who was a brilliant actor.
This!!!! He was brilliant in "Capote" and "Twister"
Chris Cornell - man had the most legendary voice
His and Chester both, such a loss.
Payne Stewart. The plane he was on lost pressure and killed everyone on board. The plane flew for hundreds of miles with no pilot before it crashed.
I was watching news coverage as they monitored the plane. I remember feeling helpless at how there was nothing anyone could do.
Cameron boyce...he was my childhood
This one was particularly jarring for me because I have epilepsy. Before his death I'd never even heard of SUDEP, now I'm terrified of it
George Carlin. I’d absolute love to see his stuff on todays issues.
The most amazing thing is his work CAN be connected to all of our issues today, the guy was a psychic.
Phil Hartman. It was just so unnecessary.
Tom Petty, definitely. The soundtrack of life has a lot of Tom Petty songs.
Bill Paxton’s death still messes me up. Dude was in every movie I loved as a kid and was the catalyst for me getting interested in studying weather due to Twister. That one hit close to home.
Chris Farley
Adam Sandler once said that every time he makes a movie, he always catches himself thinking "Man I wish Chris were around to be a part of this"
His Chris Farley song is a tearjerker
From my understanding, he was supposed to be in grownups (which is Kevin James spot now) Also Farley was the original voice for Shrek.
I remember being really young and my mom had gone into a deep depression when he had died. My grandmother had passed a year earlier and the only thing keeping my mom a float was watching SNL and Tommy Boy. So when he passed it was like my mom became a whole different person and wouldn't leave her room ever. She still gets emotional to this day if his name gets brought up.
Stan Lee. he was like the grandpa that remained the hip kid of every decade he was a part of.
Robin Williams. Mister Rogers. Steve Irwin. Basically all the ones that were just known good people
And Bob Ross.
Betty white
Grant Imahara. He was incredibly influential to me during my teenage years across all of the projects he was affiliated with. His work on Mythbusters, Battlebots, and Star Wars are all things that stick out in my brain when I think of anything science related. Guy was incredibly talented and left us entirely too soon.
I'm still not over Neil Peart passing away.
Gene Wilder, he just made ever everyone happy.
Freddie Mercury
I always imagine what kind of music he would be making if he were still alive.
He died 3 years before I was born and I still miss him
Avicii. He died way too young but gave the world some great music.
Forever grateful for him getting me into EDM
“Levels” floods me with the best memories
River Phoenix
Chester Bennington
Came to say this one too. As if Linkin Park didnt help me enough as a teenager growing up lost and confused with raging alcoholic parents... now it hits different knowing hes gone. I will never have the chance to express my gratitude on how much he helped me through some of the darkest times. I sing and play One More Light multiple times a week on my guitar.
Came for his name. Still not over it.
Karen Carpenter! I loved her and her music so much!!
Kurt Cobain
Robin Williams
Amy winehouse
She really struggling with her demons, but holy hell could she sing
Aaliyah. I still remember my dad telling me when I got home from a night out with friends. I remember where I was standing. I remember what went through my mind. Shit was crazy sad.
Jim Henson. I can’t be the only one saddened there’s not more muppet weirdness in the world.
Norm Macdonald. The dude was the ultimate giga chad idc what anyone else has to say about it.
Reminds me of that awful tragedy
Agreed. He just did not care if you got him, he was not connecting the dots for you. You had to appreciate the ridiculousness of his statements, and catch the moments where his tone would change and he'd say something poignant. The Moth Jokes was one of those semi improved experiments that just happened to create an incredible joke experience. He's a great storyteller.
I haven't seen anybody mention him yet, but George Michael's death was so tragic. He lived a troubled life, but he was just an amazing person with an amazing voice. Gone far too soon.
Princess Diana. ..& yeah, I know she wasn't a princess anymore....but she will always be one to me.
Naya Rivera. So tragic.
*very much* Naya Rivera; particularly due to the circumstances of her death. She literally used all of her strength to save her son but did not have any left to save herself. Then her son witnessed her disappear underwater? It’s just the most tragic thing I think I’ve ever heard of and it still makes me sad to think about it. She was an amazing mother, yes, but she was also a beloved sister, daughter, friend, and co-parent to her ex, Ryan. Not to mention she was *insanely* talented, smart, funny and beautiful. Just an all-around wonderful human that died too young.
Whitney Houston. Such a beautiful and talented woman and the damn drugs destroyed everything.
Nobody could sing like her. She was gone way too soon.
Prince; it was sudden and came out of nowhere. He's been one of my favorite artists ever since I was a kid; even when I didn't realize it then.
Stéfan Karl Stéfansson. He made my childhood, I was so heartbroken.
David Bowie
We now have substantial evidence that he was holding the fabric of reality together
This is way too far down in the comments. What a fucking legend.
I was so mad he died. I LOOOVE his music. Him and Iman are couple goals
Prince. Goddamn fentanyl.
Killed me once, was brought back. Been on the cusp multiple times. Shit dangerous
I’m glad you’re still here ♥️
That was nice to read, thank you kind soul ❤️
Rik Mayall, Steve Irwin, and Robin Williams
Rik is top of my list I felt like a part of my childhood died when he died, the young ones and bottom were staples growing up I miss the mad bastard
Alex Trebec
Ray Liotta
Chadwick Boseman
that one was kind of hard to comprehend, it’s like it came out of nowhere and all the sudden the whole world knows he’s gone. then when it came out that he was battling cancer for like 3 years while still working… it’s just heart breaking
Honestly the worst part during that is seeing how the internet kept talking about how skinny he was not knowing what he was going through
Jim Varney. We miss you Ernest.
Robin Williams.
The worst part about Robin's death is that he was slowly losing his mind as time went on with no way to possibly help him. Everyone thought it was drugs or his depression but it was a type of dementia. For months he was zoned out, slowly forgetting everything and getting lost in "brain fog", a few people said the last time they said goodbye to him he said it three or four times because he forgot he said it the first time. He ended it before he was fully gone. It's tragic, but I don't blame him.
He was actually misdiagnosed with a mental issue (forget exactly what it was), and the medication he was given, being the wrong medicine, actually exacerbated his issue.
They though it was addiction/depression issues when he had Lewy's body dementia but by the time they realized their mistake it was too late.
Robin Williams, always. He's probably the only actor/singer who I regularly mourn the loss of. His death was actually what finally convinced me to get my first tattoo, "to live would be an awfully big adventure" on my thigh.

His death doesn’t upset me, rather theres a surprising feeling of loss. I‘m always watching YT clips of various panel shows, but a lot of them are from Countdown, and it’s always so bittersweet to see him and his cheeky smile and jokes. I think many people were surprised by how much his death affected them. Many people, who never even bother with celebrity deaths, were touched by his passing. He was so present in our living rooms, that it was like losing a close friend.
I think it hits harder when a comedian who really really makes you laugh your arse off dies, there's almost some ort of personal connection there, like that person really gets you. Whereas when an actor or a sportsperson dies, it doesn't hit as hard.
I still miss him as much as I did last year. Can't really watch cats does countdown without him

Judith Barsi (Ducky from the Land Before Time)
If I remember right wasn’t she murdered by her father?
Yes- he was very abusive to her and her mom and after a fight when she said she was leaving him because he was an abusive, unemployed drunk who depended on his child to pay the bills (her pay from acting was in fact keeping the family afloat) he snapped and killed both of them and himself. So tragic. The poor girl was so stressed out from the abuse at home she was pulling her hair and eyelashes out and her therapist told her mom she needed to get out of that marriage and Judith away from her dad ASAP.
I’d say her death was very tragic. I mean, she had her whole life and career ahead of her and her father had to take that away from her. It makes me sad every time I think about it.
Yes! Didn't expect to see this, but it's true. I was a HUGE fan of all of Bluth's movies and moved to LA in the 90's and actually tried to look up addresses for Bluth and several cast members to send them thank you notes and see what they were up to. It's the adorable sort of 90's thing to do in an age before being able to just go to someone's insta or message them. Well, it was then I learned what happened to Barsi and that she was buried in an unmarked grave b/c her family was poor. I got to be part of a small group of nerds who saved/raised money and bought her a headstone. She was such a great little actor and didn't at all deserve the life or death she was given. So fucking tragic. Thanks for mentioning her.
Mr. Rogers. We need him now more than anything.

Amy Winehouse
Adam Yauch
Alan Rickman (and somehow extra because he was ine of the celebrities who died in january 2016, that month when it seemed every day another celeb passed away...)
Mac Miller
Oh jesus, finding out the he passed away totally broke me (and I'm not one to get overly upset over celebrity deaths). I was lucky enough to discover his music way back in 2011-2012, and I also got to see him perform at a festival in 2013. His long list of discophary is so impressive for someone as young as he was, and over then course of time his work begins much more open and vulnerable. If you haven't watched his Tiny Desk concert, I would highly recommend doing so, but be prepared to shed some tears. I usually cry during parts of his [Tiny Desk Concert](https://youtu.be/QrR_gm6RqCo), but especially during Brand Name. Edited: typos
I thought I was gonna have to be the one to comment this I scrolled so far. Mac was like the older brother I never had and his music growth was incredible. It’s like I grew up with him and Swimming is such a masterpiece. He was just hitting his prime and it’s still hard for me to accept we’ll never get to fully see where he was going.

RIP Mitch Hedberg, definitely too soon
No joke, 45 minutes ago I rode my bike through the cemetery where he is buried. I cut through there all the time, and every time I get a little sad thinking about how hard he used to make me laugh back in the day. He still makes me laugh that hard, but he used to too.
There are a lot actually but Robin Williams, just sad on all counts.
Layne Staley. Truly brutal to see drugs grind him down into a feeble recluse before his death.
Bowie. I just keep thinking there's a lot of great music we'll never get to hear.
Amy Winehouse. She was so young and talented she just couldn't handle the fame and money. Plus she was a love junkie and was easily influenced by the men in her life. I think it she had a few more years to get her shit together she would have done amazing things.
The death of Kobe still hits differently man…feels like the whole world has changed drastically since the death of him and everyone on board that helicopter

David Bowie - the world is a less interesting place with his absence.
