It was my birthday when I found out about Pelé’s death. We were eating lunch at a restaurant when I noticed an image on a TV of Christ The Redeemer lit up all green and yellow. Below, it showed that the soccer legend had died
Sad to see Mike Leach not included.
May they all rest in peace — including my brother, who died on December 13, 2022.
This year was absolutely awful in this field. May y'all R.I.P., especially Ray Liotta (Tommy Vercetti).
Rest in peace of so many people who passed away in 2022 and the list was very long last year . I hope the list of people who pass away in 2023 will be a short list
I add my mom to this list. From Oct 1940 to Dec 2022. I reflect on all the history she saw and participated in. So many changes in such a short time.
So many special people was lost in the past 12 months 😢
A lot of young people died, it`s a shame.
We are ALL getting out of here. Keep that in mind. RIP to all of them. ♥️
When relating such heartbreaking news, it. takes a special kind of person to do it with dignity and a soft tone. You two have it. Thank you for being different and warm during a difficult time.-karen
Seattle radio host Dori Monson passed away on December 31 in a Seattle hospital at the age of 61. He worked in the Seattle radio/TV market beginning in 1982 up until a couple of weeks ago.
Thank you Legacy! ❤ You guys rock! It took me a couple of days to watch the whole thing with so many interruptions. 😊
Well, it's nice that Andy Fletcher from Depeche Mode was not missing from this list, but the vocalist Maxi Jazz from the band Faithless was missing, who died on the night of 23/24 December. 🎵🎶🎵🕯🎤
R.I.P.💐🌹🌺 2022 IT'S REALLY BEEN A SAD YEAR.🌷🌸
