"He's dead, Jim" - The 20XX Death Thread

[dabrockster]

It sounds like it was unexpected and sudden. I was also sad to hear of his passing and was shocked by how old he was in comparison to his appearance. He looked much younger. It also bring to my mind how quickly death can come and my Mom being 82 years old has me worried with her age. Called her and she was out and about visiting my nephew. Fiancés family for a Bridal shower. Happy to hear she is still active.

I then think of Clint Eastwood who is still kicking it and living his best life still.

Anthony Head, who played Rupert on the first three seasons of Ted Lasso. Apparently it was a few months ago. There must be a nasty strain of pneumonia in British Commonwealth countries gong around.

Probably died waiting to see an NHS doctor.

Try to get in to see a specialist where I live. Knock it off.

Dolly Parton, at 80. She seemed like a genuinely good person.

Wow, two things. She seemed so vibrant still. I wonder if she was sick? Second, I thought she was older than 80.

Dolly is an American treasure. She always struck me as a genuinely humble, kind, and sincere person. Sad.

A moment so significant, that Coach broke character.

Ira Fulton died a few days ago. Namesake of two colleges of engineering, broker of a sweetheart deal to keep the LDS Institute building at ASU near campus, and the financier behind thousands of scholarships for LDS students at ASU. My understanding is that BYU didn’ t get all the money initially pledged, but the dude definitely knew how to distribute funds.

Oh wow. Yeah, I met him several times. Fun guy to be around.

Was just thinking about him a couple days ago. Mrs. Diddley says he's been sick for a while.

IIRC he had a stroke a few years ago that left him in a wheel chair
