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:

I still remember that morning, getting dressed to attend my morning classes where I was earning my undergrad degree at the time, and Mama Khan coming in my room to tell me that someone had flown a plane into the WTC and that "the guy who played Frasier" was among those killed.  (Of course, she misheard that last part.  It wasn't Kelsey Grammer who was killed but one of his show's co-creators and EP's, David Angell).

She was a good person. She taught music at a primary school hundreds of miles away from London in the city of Hull, in secret, for 13 years, going by the name Mrs. Kent - only the headmaster knew who she was. 

When she retired from active royal duties, she launched a charity, Future Talent, that is still going strong nearly 25 years later, which funds music education for children who cannot afford access to it.

She loved all kinds of music, from classical to pop to Dido, to Eminem and Ice Cube. 

And of course, nobody who enjoys tennis will forget her kindness to players at Wimbledon:

I remember being a child and just coming home from the cinema with my older cousin(I am not from the USA) What was happening was on the television and my kid mind thought it was a movie. I never knew it was real till time passed.

Update:

The suspect is now in Custody. My condolences goes to Charlie Kirk's Wife and his 2 children.

Time flies.

 

Thanks @jam6242 I had no idea he co-wrote the DAYS theme, or that he co-wrote so many of the best pop songs of the '60s. "Hurt So Bad" alone is a masterpiece.

Eerie this is right around the premiere of The Monkees.
