Which Celebrity or Athletes passing shocked/saddened you?

For me Celebrity wise it was Whitney Houston. She is one of my favorite musicians and I have liked her music since I was young. Her voice was amazing and the Star Spangled Banner rendition during the Superbowl between Buffalo/NYG was epic.

When it pertains to Athletes Derrick Thomas' death was painful. At that time he was my favorite football player. I used to wear his Jersey frequently. Him and Brees' Jersey are the only ones I've ever owned.
