Massive icons like Aretha Franklin or Donna Summer will certainly continue to get their own threads when they pass, but I figured it might be worth having a place to honor lesser-known celebrities who have left us, especially because we can’t see status updates (which is where a lot of those announcements were made on here previously).
 

But the great actor Ian Holm has died at 88:

Thank you for sharing the obit.

You can tell this isn't one they had prepared for years.

 

Sorry to hear that. I listen to I'm Gonna Make You Mine at least a few times a year.

My late mom had his "Lightnin' Strikes" record. She loved that one.

Anne Burrell's passing has me gutted. She's my favorite from "Worst Cooks in America" series. RIP Anne!

Lynn Hamilton, man 😔. I grew up watching her as Donna “the Barracuda” on Sanford and Son, and I’ve recently begun my very first journey into The Waltons. It’s crazy how both roles were strictly recurring yet still very salient parts of their respective shows. I’m glad she was able to regularly feel the love at the various Waltons fan gatherings.

Not unexpected as his wife had announced several months ago that he was terminal.

From one ex teen idol, to another - rest in peace Bobby Sherman.
This is from his wife, my friend, Brigitte
“It is with the heaviest heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Bobby Sherman.
Bobby left this world holding my hand—just as he held up our life with love, courage, and unwavering grace through all 29 beautiful years of marriage. I was his Cinderella, and he was my prince charming. Even in his final days, he stayed strong for me. That’s who Bobby was—brave, gentle, and full of light.
As he rested, I read him fan letters from all over the world—words of love and gratitude that lifted his spirits and reminded him of how deeply he was cherished. He soaked up every word with that familiar sparkle in his eye. And yes, he still found time to crack well-timed jokes—Bobby had a wonderful, wicked sense of humor. It never left him. He could light up a room with a look, a quip, or one of his classic, one-liners.
Known around the world for his music and acting, he brought joy to millions through songs like “Julie, Do Ya Love Me,” “Easy Come, Easy Go,” and “Little Woman,” and through his beloved role in Here Come the Brides.
But to those who truly knew him, Bobby was something much more. He was a man of service. He traded sold-out concerts and magazine covers for the back of an ambulance, becoming an EMT and a trainer with the LAPD. He saved lives. He showed us what real heroism looks like—quiet, selfless, and deeply human.
Bobby is survived by his two sons, Tyler and Christopher, and six beautiful grandchildren.
He lived with integrity, gave without hesitation, and loved with his whole heart. And though our family feels his loss profoundly, we also feel the warmth of his legacy—his voice, his laughter, his music, his mission.
Thank you to every fan who ever sang along, who ever wrote a letter, who ever sent love his way. He felt it.
Rest gently, my love.
With gratitude and love,
Brigitte Poublon Sherman.”
