You forgot Imgur's sense of humor...

omglandshark

Oh, you can still find it if you know where to look.

Mcknizzle

Elie wiesel too.

JacobCarasso

Yah forgot about him dieing untill my mom mentioned it to me.

NotYourFuckingKhakis

We started the year losing Ziggy. Ended it losing Leia. It's been a bad year for space.

TosokTheRodentHunter

we still have 3 days to go :/

zekeiso420

Live on starman

phillies13

You forgot the greatest hockey player of all time, Gordie Howe (June 10)

RabidDiabeetus

Gary Shandling died this year. You might not know his name but he's made all you fuckers laugh.

832

cluckythehorse

Wtf? it gets worse!

TheFischerking4

He sucked ass....hail hydra!

IgnatiusJReilly2601

As an Australian, I remember Garry Shandling but I've never heard of most of the people on this list.

BoldTurkey

I'm thinking this was very UK-centric; in NA we'd probably include basketball sideline reporter Craig Sager before a footballer for Wolves

Oneness

Rick Harris from Everybody Hates Chris died too :( on Monday.

tylerdurden777

Yeah, how the fuck do you leave him out?

axrexedrexelex

thank you

ButYouAintGotNoLegs

Voice for Heat Miser died too.

George S Irving. Sorry, couldn't remember his name.

SirDistic

Also Kevin Meaney died too.

jarmon505

How dare he forget Gary Shandling. The Gary Shandling show and Larry Sanders helped mold my sense of humor.

DidItForScience

Yeah and nobody ever spells his first name, Garry right!

Jinuyr

Hail Hydra...

MyLifeisaComplicatedDrinkingGame

No Lemmy either.

gerontophilia

You say Lemmy like you was besties yet you can't be arsed to remember when he died. Tut tut.

Lemmy was December last year.

Woops. Thanks for clarifying.

Christina Grimmie, 22 - June 10, 2016

krispibooga

Everyone forgets about her on these lists :'( she was one of my favorites.

cowlick33

This hit me the hardest. I've been following her for her whole career. Now I can't listen to her songs without feeling sad. RIP Christina

SnugPugInARug

Me too. When I listen to the radio I always hear songs she covered. I'm the same age as she was so it hit hard. Listened to her for years.

it happened less than a mile from where I live. been to that venue a few times. i would have gone to see her if I knew she was in town.

beaglemom4life

Your John Berry is the wrong guy!

xxmuse

I was gunna say.. pretty sure that's the country singer.. not the Beastie boys.

modman

lol - yeah that dude isn't a beastie boy. MCA died a few years ago

giantuselessdreamer

The dude from everybody hates Chris ..Ricky harris

Ireallydonthaveanyideawhattonamemyself

We need to make a memorial for all Imgurians and loved ones that have passed this year. My wife passed away too at the age of 37.

ashmenon

SidneyHarbor

I'm sorry for your loss. Know that there are many more who care for you than you'll ever know, most just don't know what to say.

QuixoticelixirMama

I'm so sorry for your loss.

happyworm

Sorry,

Caffein8me

That breaks my heart. So sorry for your loss.

WhenNothingGoesRightGoLeft

May I ask her name? I would like to create some sort of memorial, and I would like to start with her name.

http://www.wilkersonfuneral.com/obituaries/Heather-Evans-2/?redirected=1

Heather

Thank you for sharing her name.

BaronessVonMlem

Actor Abe Vigoda, voice actor George S. Irving (Mr. HeatMiser), director Gordon Hunt, and author Richard Adams (Watership Down).

Texantioch

I fucking thought Vigoda died years ago. He was old when The Godfather came out.

pandagrrl

Watership Down is such an awesome novel!!

muricanroma

You should try Shardik and Maia. They are Epic in the truest sense of the word.

Will check them out, thanks!

Iamthedanis

Not the HeatMiser!!

Iwillnotfearfearisthemindkiller

Also Sharon Jones, Paul Kantner, Signe Anderson, Buckwheat Zydeco, and Henry Heimlich (inventor of a well-known maneuver).

HomelingRazor

I came here to check if anyone would call out Sharon Jones. That one got me as badly as Carrie Fisher.

Same. Such a badass woman

Hohohosantascomingnaked

You are missing Vera Rubin, she discovered the dark matter.

John Glenn - First *American* to orbit...

Lemmy Kilmister died on the 28th of December 2015. Before it was cool to be famous and die. His last words were "F*** It im going to sleep"

431

IRideThisMotherfuckingBeatLikeATraktor

Yeah, I've been saying it started with Lemmy.

kiwiflavored

That's the right attitude. He approached his death like a gorilla:

DickieMayCry

I'd be down for a koko dump if anyone wanted to provide one

TheWheelIsSpinningButTheMouseIsDead

I was thinking the same thing - I always thought of Lemmy's death as 2016's sneak attack before we realized what was happening...

TVDinner6969

ALSO ANOTHER METAL GOD, FUXKING JEFF HANNEMAN FROM FUCKING SLAYER!!!

natethegreat2556

Born to lose,Live to win.

Instagriff

I was about to get all righteous that Lemmy wasn't in the list. Thanks for reminding me he died at the end of 2015.

Jathantaylor

Fuck I didn't know Nick Menza died. I just figured Dave did his usual hire/fire routine when Chris Adler joined.

Slelfanie

I tore my ACL at Glasto 2015 and had to listen to Motorhead from a Hut to the right of the pyramid stage which had beds and showers (1/2)

Mainly for drunks and injured people. I had been so excited to see them but rocked out by myself. I wish I could of seen them!

JebediahJones

Well that's the way he liked it baby, he didn't wanna live forever

Seriously! How can hey miss Mr Hockey!! #sticksoutforgordie

DoYouLikePinaColada

Also Paul Fusco, a.k.a. Alf.

letmeupvoteyou

Ed Snider too! Hockey us always getting forgotten

CMcAwesomeville

Even I, a beginner when it comes to hockey, knew the impact Mr. Hockey has/had. He should've been in the list

This list has a strong English bias. OP could probably name 1000 soccer players, but has never heard of Gordie Howe.

I don't think he could name 1000 soccer players.

hoboranger

well hes probably in the ground mate

onesonofdiaster

And Jose Fernandez! That was huge in the baseball world. :(

WallpaperProblems

Howe died??? Ohh boy am I sad now

CanadaEhBuddy

Only took like 4 strokes to kill him, tough old bastard

AgentOrangeJuice

He doesn't get any respect because he was a Redwing, and any time a Detroit player dies, the world cheers.

durotard

Also missed Jose Fernandez

BigErnsDaycare

Him and a bunch of other sports heroes.... Craig Sager is the first that comes to mind along with Jose

As a Canadian, I'm upset he was excluded. Sorry.

As a Detroit Native, I'm hurt that he was excluded.

Then why are you not outraged by the exclusion of Stevie Smith also?!

Imsomewherewhereidontknowwhereiam

DaSandwich22

Before Gretzky came along he was definitely the best hockey player to live. RIP Gordon

Gretzky considers Gordie to be the best player of all time, as does Bobby Orr. Gordie disagreed with both of them.

CaptCanada

CAUSE HE WAS A HUMBLE BASTARD....BLESS HIS HEART

electronickss

> because he was Canadian. Ftfy

that is an american stereotype, canadains are the most jaded, self serving people on earth except old gordie...man was a gem

We went to a garage sale and found a picture of gretzky sitting on howe's lap, signed by them both. We got it for $2.

Well fuck it must be true. Cause nobody has the balls to even joke about dying in 2016.

badgerofhonour

I think this list is pretty British, I can't imagine many Americans knowing who Paul Daniels was, although it's your loss as he was awesome!

Bisright

Specifically the OP is from the midlands, what with the football players that are included.

lookoutlarkintime

Or who Terry Wogan was (as an American I had to use Google to find out who he was.)

He was a British national treasure. Even though he was Irish.

SinisterIcyBlackHandOfDeath

John Glenn, hero for sure. just not the first human to orbit the earth.

Alaska9O7

But maybe Uranus......

Frostknight04

He was the first American to orbit the Earth. Yuri Gagarin was the first person to orbit the Earth.

Camelspotting

RIP both of them. True heroes to humanity.

oldest man to go into space too. the guy was literally Captain America in a real way

sirbartonslady

Also, Alan Young was the voice of Scrooge McDuck, for those who watched DuckTales.

SixHundredThousandBees

Fidel Castro (Nov 25)

misohorney

Fuck that asshole. May he burn in eternal hellfire.

Liam Neeson has to play him on a biopic the resemblance is uncanny

Dsoir

May he rot in Hell. Downvote me if you want, but most of you dont know what it is like to live under his government. I grew up in Cuba.

Flyndaran

He was a dictator for life. They're not known for being good people.

Costan7a

José Fernández

JBerg003

Some of these people I've never even heard of but Jose was the most Elite pitcher of his time life ended way too soon :(

IAimToMisbehaveLikeALeafOnTheWind

Can't believe how far I had to scroll to see someone mention him. Esp since Imgur loves the "did you catch that" gif so much. RIP. Too young

themercwithamouthdeadpool

John Glenn was the first American to orbit not the first person

roguechikken

You forgot Ralph Stanley :( June 3rd

Excellent musician.

misskrumpet

My dad. Captain, Royal Navy. December 11th.

Hang in there, sorry for your loss :-(

lovethepool

So sorry for your loss.

shinyhappyabby

What about Vera Rubin? The astronomer who confirmed the existence of dark matter in the 1970s, she died christmas day.

onrop

Unfortunately, people are just looking at celebs, rather than scientists or... everyone who died in battle... This is what makes 2016 suck.

MadScientistHououinKyouma

Well, when you click on something specifically about celebrities don't be surprised when someone who's not a celeb isn't named.

"A glance back at everyone 2016 has taken from us so far" ... I guess you are right.

You know damn well what was meant. You're just trying to make an argument by grasping at straws.

Why would I want straws?

TornadoKiller

she showed that galaxies spin at the same rate at large distances, thus leading to the postulation of dark matter.

AlkeneThiol

She didn't exactly confirm the existence of dark matter. We haven't even really confirmed the existence of dark matter as of today

browsib

With Emerson & Lake dead, if I were Palmer, I'd lock myself in a bunker with plenty of food and water for the rest of the year.

NachoIskerka

He's probably hiding out in Asia.

kattomaltes

Dammit, I didn't know that Lake died this month... Such a great voice (when young, on KC) #

Spentendo64

The grim reaper took Arnold Palmer instead (there was a mix up in the afterlife apparently)

DickGazinyas

John Berry is not dead, nor is he part of the Beastie Boys! Please change the pic.

NoahTheCat

Thank you for noticing that. I commented then scrolled down to see your comment.

AsinusAdLyram

Same name, different dude. John Berry the member of the early Beastie Boys=dead. John Berry the country singer=peachy keen jellybean

Yeah that's true.

WhateverWhateverIDoWhatIWant

My husband's grandpa too. Only 30 days longer and he would have seen it. :(

Mine died at the end of August. It was tough.

bizon1829

Honestly, I feel like the toughest is Yelich. Only 27. At least most of the others had lived a decently long life.

1998

RelaxedGrandfather

Yelich? Lol

raidleadergutts

I think people think you're laughing at his death.

MadamLadyBoner

Seeing Anton's name on this list breaks my heart

elleinadjw

Jose Fernandez. :(

stackoverflo

I agree. At least the rest had enough time to live. He had only just started with his life

DarthReznor

I was about to say. The idea of dying that young and that senselessly. It's unmanageable

KrifPomPomKrif

But he's up there with Stormy now.

ConvenientTruth

In a freak mailbox accident too- it's a terrible way to go

lettuceleavesblowinginthewind

The average age was 73-74, I did the math.

tanadarko

I didn't know about that one until this post! I just looked up his death and it's just crazy.

boarneges

That and the plane crash involving the Chapecoense squad. A whole group of mostly young athletes gone in an instant.

IMO, the saddest is Christina Grimmie. 22, shot and killed in front of her family, died in her brothers arms at her own concert.

governmentgavemeagun

Trapped and crushed by his car, died alone, was found by cast mates? That's also sad. They're both sad. It's not a contest.

flippywizgig

Didn't know about that one until I watched Trollhunters on Netflix and looked up the voice cast.

battery1979

Newest member of the 27 club.

YourMOMzZbushWAKR

I just watched Green Room with him the other day and it made me so sad. First saw him in Alpha Dog and thought he was great

SarahKercz

He was killed by faulty brakes that the car company took too long to recall

Tokzki

Very few celeb death made me sad -- Anton Yelchin was one. Chekov: Wrawo, Wictor, Wictor.

iamlurkerllama

His was the hardest because he was so talented and had so much ahead of him :(

wolfonline

I came down here to comment the same thing, death is always sad but seeing his young face in this list just made my chest go tight :(

shinagami091

Yeah and his career was just getting started. He could have went on to make some great movies. And such a freak accident

Vrayl

How did he die?

Jeep had a recall on it and he hadn't been able to take it in yet. Parking break didn't engage and it crushed him against a wall.

Youpassthebutter

Indeed. He looks kinda like NPH.. I got scared for a second.

yourfavoritepeanutbutterlady

Still can't believe he's gone. :(

bobyran

as a 48 year old.. SHUT UP! anything less than 70 is not enough! :)

OSCgal

For me, it's anybody short of 80. Death is sad in any case, but if you didn't make it to 80, it's too soon.

I know that I will be trying to choke death even if he comes for me when I'm 103.

BillHaleyandHisBANNEDComments2

This will need to be edited by saturday.... i'm talking about you Bieber....

Vyrro

He was great in alpha dog

capughe

I didn't know he was gone! :(

IFindYourLackOfACreativeUsernameDisturbing

My thoughts exactly, his death hit me pretty hard.

Erteboellen

Yeah. As a non-american I don't know many of these people, but when I came to Yelchin I uttered a very sad sigh. He was far to young 1/2

To make this list 2/2

killlatwix

Fucking Jeeps.

paddythelion

Always engage the hand brake. I always do because we have lots of kids on our street.

A commenter mentioned there was a poor design that wouldn't let the brake engage unless transmission in Park, but difficult to put into Park

Exactly. You literally cannot use the e brake if it's not in park on that model.

Snarkywisecrack

The transmission is different and confusing. Why do that to consumers?

Yeah, I have that same Jeep. I honestly cannot tell what they did after the recall "fix".

967

FlamParadiddlediddle

Shit I forgot about that. So awful

SarahButNotImgurSarah

Ah I nearly forgot about Christina Grimmie. I remember watching her Skyrim bard covers on YouTube ages ago. Yeah, that was horrible. :(

204

VikingForHire

I didn't think they where half bad.

CorgiFloofs

I am angry yet laughing at what you just said. +1

Ordessa

Why the fuck did anyone have a motive to kill her? I didn't like her music much but her skyrim covers were beautiful, she had clear talent.

120

Beat me to it. :( That was definitely the saddest of all. Too young and no wrongdoing of her own. Most of these had a mostly full life.

That was only in June. When you said her name I was thinking sometime in 2015. Damn what a long year it's been.

I don't know who that is, but 22 is a baby!

MagicSquid

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCUlTkj85VA Christina Grimmie covering Katy Perry's E.T. from a few years ago.

I hadn't heard that one.

spiffybritches

How did I not know about her sooner? :(

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA4fdiOqNMw

Counterfit

Well, it was less than 72 hours before the Pulse club shooting. That was a very bad week for Orlando.

That makes me so sad. She had so much of a life to live for!

lmHalJordan

Yelich had a pretty messed up death. Being crushed by his car getting the mail. Suffered alot probably be he died

theleftandcentrebiscuit

They think he died within 60 seconds of the car hitting him.

Just last week I exited my car without putting in park & got jammed between the door & the car & almost got my leg broken & neck snapped, 1

that shit hurt & even then mine wasn't too serious. It must've been an agonizing death if he actually felt anything. I hope he didn't. 2

skittleKun

Why isn't she on the list?

Maybe not as well known, especially internationally? I didn't know of her, but damn that's also tragic.

turdpanther

Right?!

Vatricidal

While you're not wrong, the cause might be most people making celeb status 30+ years ago. Past sexism, not present.

Bootsy81

Need to make sure more famous women die in 2017 to get that gender balance right. Right?

NotThatDaneither

Its really not though

Samaedag

I had no idea he was a member of the 27 club.

Yep, and it wasn't even the typical reason. A recall was out on his vehicle and he hadn't taken it in yet.

The recall had only been out for a few weeks and almost no dealers had the parts to fix it. I literally just got mine fixed last month.

hellomagic

Heart breaking.

RockKickass

Loved him in everything, even Odd Thomas

Have you seen Like Crazy? The one with him and Felicity Jones. That movie breaks my heart everytime I watch it, especially after his death.

StroneDog

*Especially Odd Thomas

LanaDelReyy

Odd Thomas was amazing.

tangledreece

And it's so infuriating how he went. That guy deserved so many more wonderful years

I agree.

ZoidbergIsGreat

Fucking Jeep... he was such a fantastic Chekov

GreedyJungle

How'd he die?

InnocentReever8

The break failed in his Jeep and rolled backward pinning him between the vehicle and a wall or his mailbox. Terrible. Heartbreaking

superatheist

The brake didn't fail, he put it in neutral not park. It was recalled because some people found the shifter confusing

MexicaninQatar

That's what the telegraph site says. So, brake failure or he put it in neutral? a tragedy anyway but I wonder

HouseOfEvil

He ran himself over with his own car.

Although that is accurate-ish, you are probably getting downvotes because your phrasing makes it sound deliberate, or at least negligent.

It's just a bad joke. All this sadness makes me lash out with dark humor.

IfTheresTwoThingsIKnowInLifeItsHowToUnderDeliver

Parked his Jeep, faulty transmission didn't engage park. Got out and went down his sloped driveway for mail or something. Pinned against 1/2

his gate when the Jeep rolled down and crushed him. No one found him until it was too late.

Xenia625

He left his car in neutral and it crushed him when he got out to do something downhill from the car.

zingwing1

The bodachs got him.

His Jeep rolled over and pinned him to a wall or fence or something. There had been a recall and he hadn't had a chance to take it in yet

sideswipeBL

I AM NEVER FUCKING BUYING A JEEP EVER

Mine was the worst car I ever owned by far... Their electronics are crap.

OhLongJohnson

Yeah apparently Jeep made it really hard to distinguish between Park and Neutral on the gear selector.

Well that fucking blows. Terrible way to go too.

ExpectedDickbuttGotDickbutt

Holy fuckballs. But the biggest and greatest of them all was my dad.

Michael Jackson died the same summer as my mom, and I always feel like this when people bring up his death. I'm sorry, it really sucks.

MJ died the same week as my mom's boyfriend too.

tenebrisangelus

He died on my birthday. I'm sorry you lost your mother.

YourMumKnowsMe

But your mother wasn't a pedophile like MJ, was she?

Why am I getting downvoted, MJ was found to have pedophilia content in his house, not to mention the lawsuits?

No she was guilty of being a damn good cook.

Mum's usually are the best. Except for maybe grandma.

synysterlove

Both my grandparents died this year too :/

hadtochangemyusernamesomyhusbandwouldntfigureitout

Same. It feels really strange. They were the last two. And they were my favorites. Sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss. I know that feel. Lost my grandparents within 4 months of each other, back in 2011-2012

*fuck

See, I got downvoted for that. Why worry bout what's happening to gorrilas when there's terrible shit humans are experiencing and go through

PeteTusk

Because that kind of apathy leads to extinctions, and also extinctions of other species may lead to our own extinction.
