Top 10 Deceased Walking Dead Characters

The Top Ten
  1. Hershel Greene

    Hershel Greene is a fictional character in The Walking Dead franchise. He appears in the comic book series, the television series where he is portrayed by Scott Wilson, and the video game series. In the TV show, he is a veterinarian and a deeply principled man who becomes a key moral figure for the group... read more

    Took some time to figure out the world he was living in wasn't the one he thought it was. Became a strong member of the crew. Had it not been wrong place wrong time (governor) would still be a contributing character. Dale without the bull.

    Still to this day, even after the 4 seasons he’s been dead, he’s still my favourite character! He was the grandfather of the group, and the closest thing to a doctor at the time. He was such an important person for the whole series, and his heroic, gruesome, devasting death will always be remembered.

    He reminds me of my grandfather, so in a way it hit close to home when he died. Ironically, my grandfather died a month after Hershel did.

  2. Beth Greene

    Beth Greene is a fictional character from the American horror drama television series The Walking Dead. She was created by season two showrunner Glen Mazzara and portrayed by actress Emily Kinney. Beth is introduced as the younger half-sister of Maggie Greene and becomes a central character during the... read more

    She should have died because daryl cared so much about him

    One of the most pointless but hardhitting deaths of the series so far

  3. Shane Walsh

    Shane Walsh is a fictional character from the comic book series The Walking Dead and is portrayed by Jon Bernthal in the American television series of the same name. In the story, Shane is a former police officer and Rick Grimes' best friend, who becomes a central antagonist in the early seasons. His... read more

    In a Zombie apocalypse situation, or any apocalypse situation for that matter. You cannot just immediately help others and bring in random people into your living spaces. Shane was the type of person you would need to get things done. Loyal, stoic. What he did for his people, others will never come close. Someone with determination and will power will survive. Unless you get shot by your best friend who you put your life on the line for several times and his child.

    In a world filled with distrust, looting, killing, savagery. You need people to protect you. A leader. Shane was both a Leader, and a savage for his own people. RIP Shane Walsh.

  4. Glenn Rhee

    Glenn Rhee is a fictional character from the comic book series The Walking Dead and is portrayed by Steven Yeun in the AMC television series of the same name.

    I wanted to cry... me and my mom wanted to cry... He was one of my favorite characters ever... And they killed him off... It was tragic and sad and I hated that episode...

    Glenn's death was absolutely tragic and I wish it never happened, but for the time he had in the show, he did more than enough to impress TWD viewers

    He was my favourite character and I wish his tragic and gruesome death never happened in that way.

  5. Merle Dixon

    Dale had this energy about his character that I really enjoyed, really tried to keep the group together no matter what.

    Dale was the most level headed I felt. When he died, the group lost a huge asset and an intelligent person. Plus, that Daleface though.

    As of the season 6 finale, His death is the only one I've cried on.

    Theodore "T-Dog" Douglas is a fictional character from the horror drama television series The Walking Dead, which airs on AMC in the United States. The series is based on the comic book of the same name. T-Dog was portrayed by actor IronE Singleton.

    The decent everyman of the group alongside Glenn, he deserved way better.

    One true dog, forever alive in our hearts.

    She got a bum rap.. Also a nice bum. Wish she turned out more like Comic Andrea.

    I hated her with all my heart when she died I was so happy

    Andrea has been my favorite since the S2 finale.

  18. Glenn

    He is my number 1 most favorite character he is the person who got me into the show. I was playing black ops 1 and in went into the kitchen to get something to drink and I saw my dad was watching something I asked him what he was watching and he said he was watching the walking dead. the first thing I heard when I sat down was "hey you jackass in the tank" RIP glenn

    He's the character who got me into the show. Nothing will be the same without him.

    He is alive even if he was dead(Will never happen) than he would be #1 we can all agree on that

    One single scene and he stood out.

  21. Tabitha

    Before the events of the first game, Lee murdered a state senator who was sleeping with his wife. The details of who this senator is are... read more

    I find it funny that this list is for the show and yet Lee still lives on (you know what I mean). Lee is definitely the best character out of the ENTIRE Walking Dead franchise. He holds the record for the saddest video game death certainly. I have never met my father, but if I was to have a dad, I'd want him to be a guy like Lee

    This guy fought through a hoard of walkers with one arm and a knife. He also protected Clementine until he died. Heck, he taught a little girl how to use a pistol.

    Lee is honestly one of the best characters I've ever seen, I mean, he got through a herd of walkers like it was nothing, that's just...WOW
