Thanks for this departed listing.

What’s interesting is how famous people you barely know can and do become part of your lives. As for me, three of these people impacted me in a personal way...

Regis: I knew him mainly as a talk-show co-host & a funny likable personality (although he had a long varied career), and everybody loved him. Eddie Van Halen: the thundering guitar god who rocked my world; the very heart of, and genius behind, his namesake band and their success, is silent today. And Sean Connery: who I knew as the classic “James Bond,,” and distinguished lead in other films; I was surprised to feel sadness upon hearing about his recent passing.

RIP Regis, Eddie, Sean, and the others we lost in 2020.

[Gagname]

Thanks for the MHO

[DeeDeeDeVour]

You are welcome.

[Jjpayne]

Wow... It's crazy to think they all past away this year... They will always been in our memories and hearts. Thank you for sharing this and reminding us of what we lost but also had the luxury of experiencing their brief touch in our lives and pop culture

[Jjpayne]

Thank you for the mho! Alex I heard passed away recently too 😞

[DeeDeeDeVour]

You're welcome Jj.
Yes, Mr. Trebek's death made me feel sad. :( I'm a big fan of 'Jeopardy!' & Alex.

[Jjpayne]

Alex did seem like a pretty cool guy...

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Some truly great people that influenced the lives of many and will be missed 🙏🏼🤣

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Ignore the laughing emoji that was a finger slip

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Lol. No problem.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Didn't wanna seen like I was being Disrespectful lol we lost another great musician this year in January 😔 Neil Peart the drummer from Rush here was my hubbies all time favorite Drummer and his role model cuz my hubby was a drummer

[MCheetah]

Damn, Regis died? I didn't even hear that one! Also, you'd need to add an update with Alex Trebek on this list as well.

[IlluminatiExposed0]

I would be presumptuous to add:

Nobby Stiles 18 May 1942 - 30 October 2020

[Virgo31]

2020 took all the good ones. Add Alex from Jeopardy onto the list. 😢

[bluetoblack99]

Sean Connery passing broke my heart. James Bond was a hero of mine. But he was 90 years old and he died peacefully in his sleep.

[TheAfrikan]

may all there souls have a perfect rest in the heavens.

[Rob17792]

you forgot alex trebek and that guy who was on modern family and everybody loves raymond

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I made this myTake before Alex passed away. He will definitely be mentioned on my next tribute (if I make another).

[monkeynutts]

It's sad, I didn't know that half of them were dead.

[smahala1991]

And now Alex Trebek

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Very sad day for me & my dad. :( We've been fans of Alex & 'Jeopardy!' since '84.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

It's hard for me to imagine watching Jeopardy without Alex hosting. Do you? ↗

[Cryptic-Game]

Yes. That's sad. Alex Trebek died also. He was an Ottawa Senators fan.

[Titanic1912]

The one that really hurt me was Eddie Van Halen.

[Grond21]
