So of all the people who passed away in 2018, who will you miss the most?

[CTyankee]

I really was grief stricken with Aretha's passing. Don't know exactly why, but she was such a great singer and a great presence, I felt her loss the most. I grieved for her longer than I thought I would.

[fierywoman]

1. Anthony Bourdain

[global1]

2. +1

[CTyankee]

3. His death by suicide was just awful. Why on earth would he do it?

[Brainstormy]

4. +1

[applegrove]

16. Yes that was the most shocking. And sad.

[Rocky888]

27. Anthony bordain was an amazing diplomat. The best.

[dhol82]

28. And an amazing human being.

[Rocky888]

35. His suicide makes the future less interesting, kind and charitable.

[dhol82]

38. True.

[Brainstormy]

5. and Carrie Fisher.

who was such a one-of-a-kind. And her writing talent were under-appreciated.

[CTyankee]

10. Actually, she died in 2016. It was very sad. Her mother, actress Debby Reynolds, died the day after.

She was grief stricken and died, essentially, of a broken heart...

[50 Shades Of Blue]

6. A dear friend :(

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. Jazz trumpeter Tomasz Stanko. One of my favorite musicians

[hlthe2b]

8. She leaves quite the hole, that's for sure.

Penny Marshall and David Ogden Stiers (MASH) really saddened me too. There were a lot this year. But, yes, I think Aretha's loss leaves the biggest hole.

9. Steven Bochco, writer and producer

His work on Columbo, Hill Street Blues, LA Law and NYPD Blue earned him 71 Emmys.

[CTyankee]

11. I had a friend who was married to him brief and he was a real shit. Not an OK guy but his talent was

undeniable.

[Va Lefty]

17. Sorry to hear that. Sorry your friend had to endure that. Life is much too short

[Srkdqltr]

12. My daughter in law

She left an 8year old daughter and a loving husband. Mother father siblings and all of us who loved her and who miss her.

[CTyankee]

13. So sorry for your loss. It must be so hard on you and her family...

[Gidney N Cloyd]

14. Burt Reynolds and Stan Lee were my two big 'wow, end of an era' passings.

I agree.

[Donkees]

18. Stephen Hawking

It has been a tough 6 months. I know it will be better next Christmas, I won't be so weepy. All of his family misses him very much.

[AJT]

21. No words neccessary, I can feel your hug from here.

[Bayard]

And Stephen Hawking.

I had not realized Margot Kidder had died.

[Eko]

[dameatball]

31. The biggest hole in my heart that passed in 2018 was not a human and I will just leave it at that.

No disrespect intended to anyone else. God bless them all and let us move forward with appreciation for how we were touched.

[CTyankee]

34. Yea. Years ago I had to put down and wonderful dog.

I loved my Marvy Dog. She was the best. It was a dreadful experience. No more dogs for me.

[appalachiablue]

36. Aretha, same as you. (Bourdain, what a tragic shock).

[Kaleva]

37. My rescue dog that had to be put down this past spring. I miss him the most.

Can't honestly say I'll miss any people who passed away this year.

[DFW]

39. Stan Lee

Both as an entertainment icon and as a friend. He was one of a kind.

[sl8]

40. Not a person, but the loss of 'Sudan' is noteworthy.
