The two that come to mind are George Harrison and Tom Magliozzi.

I'm not even really sure why but for some reason, Alan Rickman hit me pretty hard.
I had to read too far for this.
Yeah I think it was just the sort of huge mass way the HP community reacted, it was very wholesome. All Rickman ever wanted to be was an actor and he made it late in life then died.
A huge part of Facebook was covered with:
Yeah. While I rarely work on the road these days I am a critical care paramedic by trade.
....and tbh, I did cry about some patients. ....the old nana who accidentally set herself ablaze a day before Christmas. ... The young lad who died a very gruesome death despite the efforts of over 50 rescuers. ... The 1 year old who died because the psychotic dad had stuffed his crib with blankets. (And dad was "clear" in the head when we arrived....imagine the pain he felt) ... And over the same dad when he hanged himself 6 months later.
There are a few more,worse ones, that I don't want to think back to
Freddie Mercury.
Diana Spencer.
Robin Williams.
Carrie Fisher really hit me hard. I don't know why. I guess she's always just has a soft spot in my heart.
Sure. Sometimes things touch your soul when you're open to it or vulnerable.
No. I didn't know them and have had too many friends and family members die to care that much about a celebrity.
Kevin Conroy died in 2022. I'm not over it.
Robin Williams, Norm Macdonald, and if David Attenborough ever dies, that's pretty much all the light gone out of my life.
Nah, fuck em rich narcissistic bastards
But if it has to be someone, I'd probably pay respects to Carl Sagan when he died if I was alive then.
I didn't cry, but was pretty sad when Mitch Hedberg passed. And earlier, when I learned my childhood fave Harry Chaplin had been gone for a few years.
Marie Fredriksson of Roxette, especially with the circumstance of her illness.
It was just a kind of perfect music.
I did when Mac Miller ODed, actually. Another friend of mine had also ODed somewhat recently and I was a huge fan of Mac's music.
Roberto Gómez Bolaños, El Chavo and Chapolin are a big deal here in Brazil and crossed 2 generations, we spent our entire childhood watching both of them everyday on tv, his death was huge blow.
Nope. I have never cried over a celebrity or a stranger. It's strange to see so many people who have. Isn't that a parasocial connection? The person you cried for never even knew you existed. You're hurting for no good reason.
