Im none of them really.
But ill say Ledger simply because i often think about the stuff we missed out on. I think about what the 3rd Dark Knight trilogy movie could have been...

I get that, most don't register with me but his did. I guess growing up when he first came out and seeing him through all the years is why for RW.

Dolores O'riordan. The Cranberries were a huge part of my formative years.

It's always musicians dying that bums me out for awhile. Stevie Ray Vaughn, Dimebag Darrell, Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington. Janie Lane from Warrant. Neil Peart was probably the one that bothered me the most.

Prince and George Michael, on the music side. As someone said earlier, the What Ifs of what they could've accomplished will drive you crazy.
Heath Ledger is an outstanding example, for movies. He was gone before we had an opportunity to appreciate what he gave us in The Dark Knight.

I was around 8 at the time, but I'd have to go with John Wayne.

Tom Petty for me...grew up with his music.

Jimmy Stewart, Bob Hope, Neil Peart

Robin Williams or Phil Hartman - too close to call.
Robin Williams of greater overall stature (but he was older, so that softens it some).
Phil Hartman was my favorite actor on my favorite show that was airing at the time he was killed and I had been a huge fan of his work on SNL.
The only thing close to those 2 was Elvis, but I was pretty young at the time, and Chris Cornell more recently.

I do t get too much from it. I get much less upset when they are old and die a normal old person death.
The suicides are sad but also make me angry because of what it does to their families.
Kobe was one for me that had me feeling pretty sad for a couple days

Yeah I don’t really let a celebrity death impact me in any real way, but this one hit at a point where I was in my college years and felt young enough for it to really hit home since I had been watching him for so long.
It sucked because to this day I can watch every single scene or sketch he’s done and still always be overcome with laughter or just good vibes. He always brought that out no matter how terrible the movie or skit may have been. Just such a positive aura about him and really seemed to bring out the fun in everyone around him.
Also, not a celebrity really, but seeing Macaulay Culkin, a kid who was my age at the time, die in My Girl legit fricked me up.
I still have a phobia of bees to this day.
I’d rather face off with home intruders any day over a swarm of bees if that’s what takes out Kevin fricking McAllister

Only one where I sat back and said "Damn, that sucks" and hit me was Steve Irwin.
Mostly because I have fond memories of my Dad and I watching The Crocodile Hunter together.
