Harris and Mac Miller both hit me hard and I still think about them pretty regularly

 

I listen to the two episodes Harris did on You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes quite a bit. He was such a funny guy who really had some demons to battle. Hearing him open up about it all will forever break my heart.

 

Oh yea Harris hit me hard since it was not long after hearing his appearance on You Made It Weird

 

His sister wrote a couple pieces posted on her Medium that made me ugly cry at work

 

The end of the Parks & Rec finale wrecked me

 

Harris and Mitch Hedberg for me. Just two completely unique talents and voices that can never be replaced.

 

James Gandolfini was hard for me. Not only because of my love of Sopranos but all the interviews I had seen him in he just seemed like such a down to earth and genuinely good guy. Also did some fantastic movies. He struggled with substance abuse which I have as well. The fact that he died in front of his 13 year old son with a heart attack breaks my heart. I lost my father a few years ago to a heart attack, I could not imagine having to witness him actually having the heart attack though.

 

I...completely forgot Gandolfini passed.

 

I know, I watch Sopranos so much that he still seems alive to me then I will always remember it while watching. From what i've read it seems like fame just was hard for him. He didn't want the spotlight but stole the show on Sopranos so quick that he became an overnight sensation. He didn't want it. Just a sad sad story.

 

I don't think I ever fully recovered from losing Steve Irwin. Was my absolute biggest influence as a kid, I wanted to be him when I grew up.

 

Such a legend

 

At least it's really cool how his kids are keeping his legacy well alive.

 

Yeah, his kids are so rad. Robert is like a spitting image of his dad. Both in looks and personality

 

I never liked Steve Irwin when I was a kid so I wasn’t hurt by his death at the time, but now that I’ve learned more about everything he did as an adult I’ve mourned the loss way after the fact. It really is wonderful to see what his kids have done for the legacy.

 

His wife, Terri, is fucking awesome too. That whole family is just amazing lol

 

ok I think it's time we stop bumping this thread and giving people heart attacks for a while haha

 

truly the GOAT.

 

Huge loss. SO many of his films are incredible. Just rewatched The Stepford Wives a few weeks ago. Really wish I could watch All the President’s Men in his honor, that’s probably my favorite, but I can’t bring myself to see Dustin Hoffman anymore.

 

Aw, man. He was the best.

 

Angelica Cob-Baehler, Veteran Music Industry Executive, Dies at 47

 

Damn, big loss for me as Don't Look Now is easily one of my top five favourite films of all time. RIP.

Director Nicolas Roeg dies aged 90

 

This is a big one. We’ve lost some real legends the past few weeks.

 

Magician and actor Ricky Jay. I know him best from PTA movies

I do wonder a lot how the internet will react when Polanski and Woody Allen finally die
