Notable Deaths 2017

[Big-Will]

We've been keeping track of notable deaths here since 2008, and it all started with Heath Ledger. Separate threads began to appear for new deaths, and I decided that they should all go into one thread, to be renewed each New Year's Day, so now we have nine years' worth of obits to look through. Here's Memory Lane.

This past year has been particularly eventful for deaths, more so since I've been seeing F 2016 on FB lately.

The thread is now open!

Y'all let me know if there are duplicate posts - I'll edit those out.
