Celebrity Deaths That Will Impact You The Most

How about a bit of morbidity today? Death comes for us all, but today I'm wondering: what celebrity deaths will impact you the most? I'm thinking specifically of people who you're sure will die in your lifetime, or those who already have the stink of the grave about them. I have three that come to mind immediately:
Neil Young (turning 70 later this year--motherfucker had an brain aneurysm a decade ago and is still going strong)
Tom Waits (only 65, thought he was older)
"Mean" Gene Okerlund (72 years young)

It kinda depends how they die obviously. I was never a Robin Williams fan, but hearing how he died and struggled with depression left me incredibly sad for a couple of days.

Robin Williams' was a year ago. That one was so sudden & unexpected; it stung more than I would have thought some random celeb death.
Obviously Vedder on this board would be a big one. Give me a few minutes to think on this one.

Exactly. Celebrity deaths in general don't really bother me. Tragedy bothers me.

Gandolfini's was from out of no where but given the circumstance it still didn't compare to Robin William's.

Leonard Cohen will be kinda sad, and it's gotta be relatively soon.

I don't typically get that upset over celeb deaths, but two that still bum me out are MCA and Sean Taylor.
For the non-football fans, this was the late great ST:
For the future, I'll be pretty down with Howard Stern kicks the bucket.

I think really what will bother me more than anything is seeing the people I grew up with die (Bret Hart, Eddie Vedder... etc) But that's more about the creeping sense of mortality than anything else.

Yeah its all self serving for me. I was sad when Philip Seymour Hoffman died because I wouldn't get any more movies from him.
