Have you ever cried over a celebrity or complete strangers death, why?

I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride, but something touched me deep inside.

Mr Rogers. Was like a light went out in the world.
Robin Williams came close. Each a symbol of joy and kindness.

George Carlin was the only one I ever felt attached enough to, to have really felt a sense of loss by his passing.

No I haven’t

My second year of University a guy fell off the roof and didn't make it. Everyone was sent home while they cleaned everything up. That was the first time I cried for someone I didn't know.

Was teary all day at work when Terry Pratchett died

[rhynoplaz@lemmy.world]

The day the music died.

[dumbass@leminal.space]

Robin Williams, I legit cried for a day and couldn't think or hear his name for a long time without getting upset again.

Still sad that he's gone.

[benignintervention@lemmy.world]

Yes, hardcore for Steve Irwin. His shows taught me what love is, since I never really saw it at home

When Akira Toriyama died I had to take some time off in the middle of work and go to the bathroom to cry. I think the reasons are obvious if you know who the man was. Here in Latin America Dragon Ball is almost a religion, you see the Z warriors wherever you look. Akira's pen drew the childhood of millions around the world for several generations, it is difficult to find someone here who has not been marked by his work. Even now my heart still crumples a little at the memory of him.

May you rest in peace, Master. As long as your memory lives on, you will remain immortal.

Technoblade.

I’d watched him with my kids for years. He’s an amazing player and a really smart guy. I got my kid a leather bound copy of “The Art of War” because of the Potato Wars. Our shared love of video games, especially Minecraft, kept me involved with them during a pretty bad divorce.

So when they came to me, tears in their eyes, I wept as well. Because he was a connection to my children. And I wept for Technodad, as any other father would.

Congrats on 20 mill, Techno. May you never die.

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

No. I didn't know them and have had too many friends and family members die to care that much about a celebrity.

Kentarou Miura. Berserk is my favorite manga, I discovered it while going through a really tough time, and it helped me a lot. I read it a couple times over and over, and I impatiently waited for new chapters.

A couple years later, Miura-sensei died of heart issues, aged 54. Felt like a slap on the face, after all those jokes about how he was never going to finish Berserk because he was playing too much idol master. I still cry about it from time to time, when I have a bad day.

Rest in peace.

[thejoker954@lemmy.world]

It's still hard for me to watch movies he's in. Just reminds me he's no longer around.

[thejoker954@lemmy.world]

GNU Terry Pretchett

[naught101@lemmy.world]

Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett. Because or seemed like they still had more to contribute

[i_fart_glitter@lemmy.world]

I don’t even like his music all that much, but Avicii. Learning of the circumstances- he knew his mental health was not in a place where he could tour. He told his managers. They said “lol, sorry, tix are sold, no backing out now.” He died on the tour.

His music is so hopeful and encouraging and beautiful, it breaks my heart when any of his songs come on.

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.

[s_h_k@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I cried for Ronnie James Dio I wanted to meet him so hard. Fuck cancer...

[laintrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

You see a lot of "Z warriors" in Russia too, but much less Dragon Ball sadly
