Top 10 Saddest Deaths of 2020

This is by far the saddest death of 2020. He died in a helicopter crash with his 13-year-old daughter by his side. Could you imagine the fear going through him and Gianna? The tight hug between them? The times they said their last I love you to each other? The thousands of tears flowing down both of their faces?
Why did it have to be them? They didn't deserve this. Not right now. R.I.P. Kobe and Gianna. We all love you and you will forever be remembered. Sorry for your loss to the rest of their family.
It's so sad that you and your daughter, holding hands, had to experience falling from the sky and dying. It's the saddest thing I've ever heard on the news. Why did it have to be him? Just seeing the tears on your face, knowing you're going to crash and it will be the end of your life.

This news was such a shock to me this morning. I will always be listening to you, your band, and the first album I heard, 2112.
We will remember you through your music.
Maybe one of the best and most influential musicians ever.
He died at the age of 67 after a long battle with brain cancer.
The drummer of one of my favorite bands died. No words. Rest in peace.
Your music will live forever.

I'm at a loss for words. This man changed guitar and inspired millions of young guitar players dreaming of being the next big name in the music world. He made the guitar sing like no other could.
He revolutionized tapping and brought power and energy to every song he played. He was a giant amongst musicians and a true hard worker. Rest in peace to the GOAT.
Legendary guitarist Eddie Van Halen, the founder of Van Halen, passed away after a long battle with throat cancer. According to medical reports, he had a history of substance abuse. He was among the kings of guitar music and inspired countless others.
He was 65. Never forget such a guitar pioneer. Gone in the face of 2020. R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen 1955-2020.

Easily the saddest. He was so young when he left us, and he was a great role model for Black people. He would only play roles of Black people or activists in movies, and he kept his cancer a secret, I believe. Our hearts will be with you for all eternity.
Chadwick Boseman was a treasure to movies and representation in Hollywood. His film Black Panther became Oscar-nominated and broke many box office records. It is truly a tragedy that he had to lose his life.
This just proves how bad the American health system has gotten thanks to COVID-19. Sure, Chadwick wasn't going to survive cancer, but they could have at least treated him to slow it down.

An extremely tragic loss for not only game shows but the television and general world as well. Pretty much up there with Kobe Bryant, along with his daughter Gianna, and Chadwick Boseman (the Black Panther).
He was the host of Jeopardy and lost his battle to Stage IV pancreatic cancer on November 8th, 18 months after diagnosis. The greatest game show host on television and perhaps the last trusted and loved star ever. He was 80. His last episode will air on Christmas Day. R.I.P. Alex Trebek - 1940-2020.
This is so sad. He will be greatly missed. Jeopardy will not be the same without him hosting.

The legendary actor, Kirk Douglas, passed away on February 5th at age 103. He was known for classic films such as Spartacus and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. His cause of death is kept private by his family. He was one of the last surviving actors of the Golden Era.
Douglas was one of the best actors ever. He lived to the ripe age of 103.
RIP.

This is so sad. He truly loved his family, and he made sure they secured his son first.
R.I.P. Shad. You will truly be missed.

I just heard about Sean Connery's death. No words. James Bond, The Rock, The Highlander, Indiana Jones, The Name of the Rose are among my favorite movies since my childhood.
Rest in peace, Sir Sean Connery. 1930-2020.
I was shocked when I heard about Sean Connery's death. This man was an iconic actor.
My favorite Bond actor, he played in my favorite Bond movie, Goldfinger. RIP Sean Connery.
Known for playing James Bond in seven Bond films, Sean Connery died at his home in Nassau, Bahamas, on October 31 at the age of 90.
RIP Sean Connery 1930-2020.

The son of J.R.R. Tolkien passed away at 95.
R.I.P. 1925-2020.
I've never read The Hobbit, but my friends were all sad when this happened.

Kirby Morrow was a voice actor known for roles such as Cyclops in X-Men Evolution and Cole in Lego Ninjago, among others.
I couldn't believe this. It hit me so hard.
I'm both very sad and sorry to hear that he died! My favorite role of Kirby Morrow is Josh from Team Galaxy!
Very heartbreaking to Ninjago fans.
The Newcomers




Known for over a whopping 60 years, Kenny Rogers was one of the greatest country artists who ever lived. He inspired so many other country artists with his masterpiece of music and impacted the music industry in unreal ways.
He battled an illness of natural causes until his death on March 20th/21st at 81. R.I.P. to such a humble legend. 1939-2020.

That had to be one of the most disgusting things I had ever seen by any officer. George's death was tragic, and the fact that the other three officers didn't intervene is fitting. They got cut loose.
This ignited the Minnesota riots to go as viral as they have. People are angry because they want justice for Floyd now, instead of playing the waiting game like with the pandemic.
The fact that some officers could take away the life of someone like George Floyd in the most disgusting way possible is absolutely unforgivable. His death also caused riots, which aim to seek justice for George Floyd, when in reality, it only causes more damage to society. R.I.P. George Floyd.

The actor who played the beloved villain Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy passed away due to a brief illness on November 29th at the age of 85. Definitely the saddest Star Wars actor death after Carrie Fisher's.
Just like her death (along with those of Kobe Bryant, Gianna Bryant, Chadwick Boseman, and Diego Maradona), it's a tragedy that will go down in history forever. The year 2020 is truly a disastrous one, not only for our world but also for the Star Wars and entertainment worlds. R.I.P. Dave Prowse 1935-2020.

The former Supreme Court Justice of the U.S., Ruth Bader Ginsburg, passed away after a battle with cancer at 87. She was also known for her succinct career advice. A national loss for the U.S. R.I.P. Ruth.
The best Supreme Court justice and a model for people around the country. No one will ever take her place.
RIP.

Gigi, Kobe's daughter, was on the helicopter with him. She was only 13 years old and had just as much passion for the game as her father did. She had her eyes set on playing for UConn. It's just awful that she died so young.

Thank you for the music.
R.I.P., big man, Little Richard.


A writer and a director who was nominated for two Oscars died at the age of 89 because of a heart attack.

The Black championship wrestler, Rocky Johnson, who won WWE and was the father of Dwayne Johnson, helped his son follow in his footsteps. His cause of death is currently unknown, but he was 75. R.I.P. Rocky.

Known for playing Boba Fett in the original Star Wars Trilogy, Jeremy Bulloch passed away due to Parkinson's Disease at age 75. This one hurts me a lot because he portrayed my favorite Star Wars character of all time.

He was an underrated rapper who rapped about things in unique ways. He even had his own food-themed album. Rest in peace, Doom.


The basketball-loving lawyer, David Stern, who took the NBA around the world during his 30 years as its longest-serving commissioner, died at the age of 77 because of a brain hemorrhage.
