I’ve had quite a few celebrity deaths hit me hard over the years because I was big fans of theirs and they died way too young: Kurt Cobain, Chris Farley, River Phoenix, John Candy, and Phil Hartman to name a few.
Obviously, I didn’t know these people personally, but you grow up watching people on TV and in movies and listening to their music and when they die suddenly, it affects you.
A Twitter user posted this question and it got people talking.

3. This was a really sad one.
He brought people together.
Anthony Bourdain. He gave us view of other countries through food, culture and conversation. He humanized people from countries that are looked upon as our enemies.
