Saddest Deaths of 2019

1. Cameron Boyce

   

   Cameron Boyce (May 28, 1999 to July 6, 2019) was an American actor known for his roles in films such as Mirrors, Eagle Eye, Descendants, Grown Ups, and Grown Ups 2. He also starred as Luke Ross on the Disney Channel series Jessie and as Conor on the Disney XD series Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything... read more

   Cameron Boyce is two years younger than me, and he passed away, which was both sad and shocking. Cameron didn't deserve to suffer from a medical condition and die from it at the age of 20. He had a whole life ahead of him, from starring in more of his iconic acting roles to being more involved in the Thirst Project, helping less fortunate countries with no clean water.

   Cameron was a very bright, happy, compassionate, smart, and creatively artistic celebrity. Cameron Boyce was a very beautiful person on the inside as well as on the outside. I loved Cameron's acting career in the Descendants franchise movie as Carlos De Vil, which is my favorite. I'm very sorry to hear about the tragic death of Cameron Boyce! 1999-2019.

2. Mean Gene Okerlund

   

   By far, the best announcer and interviewer the WWE has ever had. He was their voice and the voice of many wrestlers back then. Rest in peace.

3. Luke Perry

   

   I never really knew who Luke Perry was until I started watching Riverdale. But I instantly thought he was one of the most amazing actors ever.

   Why are there no comments about Luke Perry? So sad. R.I.P Lucas Perry, you will be missed.

4. Ashley Massaro

   So sad. Looking at him, it was clear he loved life. He was always smiling. Rest in peace.

6. Russi Taylor

   

   Russi Taylor was an American voice actress born on May 4, 1944. She was best known for voicing Minnie Mouse for over three decades. Taylor also voiced characters in The Simpsons and other animated series before her death on July 26, 2019.

   How ironic is it that her husband voiced Mickey Mouse for some time as well? Now they will be with each other again.

   Russi Taylor voiced Minnie Mouse for 30 years. She also voiced Martin Prince in The Simpsons. She passed away on July 26th, 2019, ten years after her husband, who also voiced Mickey Mouse, Wayne Allwine, passed away in 2009.

She rose to fame in 2012 and became a cultural icon featured in merchandise, books, and a television movie. Grumpy Cat died in May 2019, but her image remains widely recognized in memes... read more

   I'll never forget when I woke up one morning to the radio saying how Grumpy Cat had died, and I felt like bursting into tears. No pet will ever be as cute, irreplaceable, and most of all, grumpy. R.I.P.

   R.I.P Tardar Sauce, mother of modern memes. We loved you, you hated it, but we loved you anyway. I'd bring you back if I could, you and your meme's popularity.

   When I found out, I cried for an hour (which is probably more than I should have, to be honest). WE MISS YOU!

   A legendary cat. Hopefully, it had a long and amazing life.

13. Carol Channing

    

    She was 97. She lived a very long life.

14. John Singleton

    

    Truly a great man who shaped many lives. He had amazing talent at the age of 23 with his directorial debut of Boyz n the Hood. Too bad that he barely lived over halfway through his life.

    Rest in peace, John Singleton.

15. King Kong Bundy

17. Etika

    

    Etika was my favorite YouTuber. For years, this man entertained and inspired me. He was enthusiastic about the things he enjoyed, and in general, he spread a ton of positivity to every one of his viewers.

    I was absolutely heartbroken to hear the news about his passing. It just goes to show that mental illness can happen to anyone. Suicide can happen to anyone. You don't know about a person's internal battles just from looking at them.

    So please, if someone says they're suicidal, TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY. So many people wrote off Etika's breakdowns as a joke, and now it's too late. Please, talk to your friends and let them know that you love them. I will gladly talk to any of you if you need someone to vent to. My DMs are always open.

    The world will not be the same without Desmond "Etika" Amofah, and I am so happy to have lived in the same time as him. RIP. #JOYCONBOYZFOREVER

    He produced one of my favorite albums. I never listened to his music, but RIP.

21. Caroll Spinney

    

    Bro, I loved him so much. He was so inspiring. At least he didn't blow up in the atmosphere.

    He voiced Big Bird and Oscar for 50 years. Good thing he retired before he died.

    He voiced two amazing characters in Sesame Street. Can't believe he's so low.

22. Daniel Johnston

    

    R.I.P. Daniel. May your music live on forever.

He was a rapper, singer, and songwriter known for his influence on the emo-rap and SoundCloud rap scenes, which gained popularity in the mid-to-late 2010s. His stage name came... read more

    A pretty sad death. He knew that if he kept doing drugs, he would die, but he felt that if he stopped, he would die as well. He was in such a tight spot, and he will be remembered.

    Actually, I think he died exactly one year ago. That's sad.

    One of the best rappers of the new era with huge potential. He should've been able to make bangers for years to come, but instead, he's dead after just one year in the mainstream.

27. John Witherspoon

    

    This man was naturally funny. Just opening his mouth and saying almost whatever was hilarious! His best role was Granddad (Robert Freeman) on The Boondocks.

    He is missed.
