Anthony Bourdain. I don’t know why it affects me so deeply but it hurts to think of him. When he died I just decided to stop watching television altogether. I’m not sure if I was protesting or what...but I still haven’t gone back to it.

I was shocked and saddened by some of the premature deaths, but only wept when RBG died.

^^^ adding Steve Irwin, Kate Spade (both shocking for different reasons)
Alex Trebek
Princess Diana

Kobe Bryant hit me the hardest...I think because of his daughter and the other families on the helicopter as well.

Anthony Bourdain is a close 2nd.

JFK Jr has always stuck with me.

Bill Paxton
Chadwick Boseman

None of the above.

They're public figures, not people I'm emotionally invested in.

Kind of random but
Prince
Ethel from I Love Lucy
River Phoenix
David Bloom
Brandon Lee
Princess Diana

These. It was like the death of my childhood, launching me to adulthood, whether I wanted it or not.

Princess Diana
Ronald Reagan
Michael Jackson
Robin Williams
Tim Russert

And in retrospect, Freddie Mercury.

If his AIDS diagnosis had been 5 years later, there’s a good chance Freddie would still be alive.

Anthony Bourdain for me. I felt incredibly sad when I learned about his death and the nature of it.

John Kennedy Jr.'s death upset me because it had the uneasy "not again" feeling of Kennedy family deaths.
