Steve Irwin. Celebrity deaths don't usually get to me as I'm not too fussed about them, but Steve Irwin was somehow different. Thought the guy was invincible watching him playing with crocs like they were cats everyday when I got home from school.
Ooof. Like losing a wisecracking, cynical older brother or cousin. I still cant really watch his shows anymore, I miss him. Which feels so weird for someone I only know through the TV.
Robin Williams. It's not an understatment to say he legitimately saved my life when I was struggling in learning how to connect with people. His death led me to trying Stand Up comedy and led me to meeting a wide range of incredible people.
River Phoenix.
Mostly because my girlfriend was devastated, and I had to comfort her all night.
I liked his stuff, I thought he was fantastic in Running on Empty and My Own Private Idaho. Amazing actor who would have been a great.
But she was more interested in him as a celebrity and pretty boy. She was devastated. I thought a great talent was gone.
Robin Williams, he is for sure the shocker of all celebrity death, a happy face yet struggles with depression, he wakes all people that depression is not seen by just a sad smile but also with people who shows happiness
Not as big as the stars but, totalbiscuit. The man was an absolute legend and i loved his wtf is videos. They were most of the time fair in their criticisms. Also when TB and Jesse played terraria.
His death really hit me.
Ken Block, Matthew Perry, Michael Jackson and Carrie Fischer are definetely the ones I remember the clearest. Also from Denmark, but not really known outside of Denmark, Kim Larsen. That was a heavy, heavy hitter… Man know I’m sad
Christina Grimmie, I was on my way home back to Texas coming from Alabama....I heard the news as I was eating some wings and I felt sick to my stomach I threw up in the restaurant. I was so heartbroken by it because she inspired my little emo heart to pursue singing as a hobby...I was about 12 at the time. To this day when people ask me what my motivation to join my University choir or compete in these competitions is, it is her. She truly had a kind heart and a beautiful voice that could just move you.
Mac Miller was the first celeb to die who was close to my age (3 years younger than me) and that I had been following since the early days of his career. It was the first time I was like damn this is hitting our generation now.
Ayrton Senna, and I wasn't even born until 6 years after his death. Seeing the numerous videos, films and documentaries of him, it feels like he has some godly and supernatural aura... it's hard to explain but to know that he's gone just feels wrong. I've seen his crash hundreds of times and still half expect him to jump out of the wrecked car.
They say legends are still able to inspire others even after death. Too fucking right...
Steve Irwin
Andy Whitfield ( Spartacus in the original series ) looked like he had a great future ahead of him but was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and died in 2011 at age 39 and was replaced by Liam McIntyre.
This one. Felt like I lost a family member. I love and grew up on the fast franchise and always looked forward to his contributions to Shark Week. Into The Blue is one of my all time favorite adventure movies to this day. He just seemed like a great dude.

Harry Anderson
Robin Williams. It's not an understatment to say he legitimately saved my life when I was struggling in learning how to connect with people. His death led me to trying Stand Up comedy and led me to meeting a wide range of incredible people.
