That sucks, he was always my favorite character from that movie. Obesity is a cruel mistress though.

Tipping the scales at 508 pounds, Lester nearly died after having gastric bypass surgery but recovered and lost more than 300 pounds. However, he was not in demand to play the “fat guy” roles after his extreme weight loss. “Surgery saved his life. It also ended his career,” wrote Grantland in a 2014 profile.

2016 is becoming a banner year for celebrity deaths. This one is probably the most notable.

The frick? Sarcasm? David Bowie, Glenn Frey, Merle Haggard, Prince, Muhammad Ali and Alan Rickman are not as notable as the fat kid, whose claim to fame, is "10 a fricking 10".

Damn, so a washed up boxer, a guy from a Chapelle Show skit, and some dude who died in the Alamo are a bigger deal than Billy Bob? Nice try, grandpa.

I loved Billy Bob, don't get me wrong, but David Bowie helped the U.S. keep Texas from Mexico.
