UPDATED: This updated memoriam for 2015 includes several more celebrities, as well as their ages and some corrections. This revision also includes sound clips for some of the celebrities that I think you will find interesting. In the coming weeks, I plan to update a few more videos that I hope you will enjoy. Thank you to everyone for your support and kind words for this labor of love.
In 2015 we lost some great names in the worlds of music, television, film, politics and more as well as some infamous figures. A few of the souls we lost this year included: Mario Cuomo, Gary Owens, Lesley Gore, Leonard Nimoy, Ben E. King, Christopher Lee, Omar Sharif, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, Wes Craven, Yogi Berra, and Maureen O’Hara, to name a few. This video is dedicated to all of them who left a positive impact on the world. May they rest in peace.

@ericmangels4917 he predicted that he wouldn't make the age of 65, and he was right. He died at the age of 61

@SuperMhinton that's very sad ! 😔 especially since thre are legends that are still alive and up in age too ! I guess it all depends how long they put those steroids,etc in their bodies,and when they finally quit.Regardless I was a huge fan of Piper !

The one I most remember from this year was Lynn Anderson. That one came out of nowhere - dead at 67 from a heart attack. I listened to her music as a kid and teenager, back in the '70s and '80s. Her rich legacy will live on.

What surprised me the most about 2015 was the amount of television stars that had passed away. I knew many of them growing up, but I didn’t realize all of them left us in 2015. Many others as well. Seems like an awful lot.😢 Great video very well done, thank you for these memories.❤

I remember the year before i finally fulfilled a lifetime dream to see prog rock legends Yes in concert. Their music is something I remember from my childhood and they played the two albums with the exact songs in the exact sequence, that is of course “Fragile” and “Close to the Edge” The most notable band member of course instrumental to their music was Chris Squire. Half a year later I was in shock of the news of his passing. Long live his legacy, the greatest bass guitarist in prog rock history.

Yvonne Craig will always be Batgirl, Judy Carne was actually tormented on the TV program Laugh In Sock It To Me and they actually socked it to her. Patrick McNee was the narrator, the Cylon imperial leader, and also Count Iblis in Battleship Galactica. I didn't know that Meadowlark Lemon, Martin Milner, Yogi Berra, Gary Owens, Al Molinaro, Cory Wells, Vera from Alice all died in 2015.

Ha! My father earned $65 a week. He also had to pay the government and, as the sole wage earner of the family, pay the mortgage and provide for his wife and six kids.
