Tom Petty for me. Never realized what a constant his music was in my life until he passed. RIP Tom Petty.

Phil Hartman was the first celeb death to catch me in the feels.

One hurt most of all...

---

My tribute to CHRIS BENOIT!!!!! I know that wresling is fake
but lets just give it a take,
this guy was really small but he stood above most all
if anyone had any grit
you were the one who had it.
we only know you from TV
but you did as much as you could be
from a father,husband,or just a man
you did the all that you can
you had blue eyes,and this is true
but there is no man you would not go through
you were the best I have ever seen
BECAUSE YOU ARE THE RABID WOLVERINE!!!!!!!! RIP, CHRIS!!!!!!!!! bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

John Candy.

He and my late father had several of the same mannerisms and facial expressions… every once in a while I can almost get a glimpse of dad watch a Candy movie.

Ronald Reagan, a national treasure, yet reviled by the left and the media. He was so likable that you could tell even his enemies secretly admired him.

Kobe “Beef” Bryant felt pretty depressing, to me. A little like the end of an era, plus 8 others died as well, his 13 yr daughter included. Yeah thinking back that one slowed my role for a few days no doubt. Still quite heavy. It may be top 10 worst things I’ve ever heard in my life. It’s gonna be a short life though because I can’t remember past 2 weeks ago at any given time.. YOLO I guess.

Steve Irwin cuz I’d literally just booked a trip to the Gold Coast less than a week before that happened. It was unnerving for a lot of reasons, but I could very much feel the sensitive nature of my mortality. Like if this LEGEND/Expert just got killed doing the bare minimum (Relative to his normal adventures) in the wilds of Australia, WTF do I think would happen to me once I “test those waters.”

Heath Ledger disturbed me as well, cuz we all knew TDK was coming out and he was all over the media doing his rounds for that. That one was pretty unexpected and stuck with me. And Kidd Kraddic shocked the shite out of me as well. That one makes you fear for your own life, a relatively young/healthy guy just up and dies for no obvious reason.


And then Kobe was prob the one where I had the most shock/hardest time processing, considering he wasn’t like a close family member or friend. But it very much felt like I knew him or grew up with him.

Stevie Ray Vaughn. Saw him at Jazz Fest a couple of months before his helicopter crash. No telling what he would have been able to do musically had his life not been snuffed out at such a young age.
