The man that paved the way for African descents into acting on films & TV shows. He lived a great life. He will never be forgotten. R.I.P. to the Martin Luther King of modern entertainment (1927-2022).
RIP saddest. Even though she is the oldest she was the last supercentenarian I had a huge interest in. Too bad we can't see those funny videos where she lives in the moment and steals a chocolate from a chocolate box again. But the worst part is, she was so close to reaching her goal of 120, and died at 119. RIP
She was the oldest living verified person until she died this year.

He led the anti-apartheid movement in England in the two decades before it and will be remembered for his contributions to racial peace in South Africa.
1 of the keyboardists of Depeche Mode passed away suddenly at only 60. This has hit the music industry really hard. R.I.P. to a 1 of a kind producer.

The iconic director died the same day as Poitier.

Foo Fighters is one of the best modern rock bands ever and thanks to him and Dave Grohl. We miss you.
This is very sad that I just heard it an hour ago about his death. Love Nirvana and the Foo Fighters. R.I.P., good friend. I think he is meeting Kurt Cobain in Heaven now.
I have never heard of him before this, even though I like the Foo Fighters. But this was really sad. He was only 50.
R.I.P. Taylor Hawkins (1972 - 2022).
Rest in peace, Taylor Hawkins. You will still be remembered as one of the greatest drummers of all time.

The son of the popular unverified TikTok creator Ophelia Nichols was shot less than 1 day before his 19th birthday. An example of mentally ill & messed up people taking away innocent lives with guns. Gun violence has seriously become out of hand. No peace in America. R.I.P. (2003-2022).
Even though I don't pay attention to sports, his death was definitely the saddest. The Ivorian footballer was poisoned by his cousin over the holidays. He was just 32.
R.I.P. to an iconic voice acting legend. He inspired many childhoods & made people laugh as well. The Charlie Brown & Peanuts community will never be the same. Suicide is very serious & it's unbelievable he did that on January 18th. R.I.P.
The original voice of Charlie Brown.

The legendary Steelers quarterback was struck by a dump truck on April 9th at only 24. This was an absolute loss for sports & Russia continues to mess with Ukraine at the same time.

Dwayne Haskins, a full life ahead gone too soon. 1998-2022.
She saved more babies than anybody else in history. This should be in the top 3. We lost the mother of all orphans on April 15th. R.I.P. to the G.O.A.T. baby lifesaver (1947-2022).
