Don Rickles passed away at the Age of 90.
 
Loved Rickles.

You knew you'd made it when he insulted you in some way. There will never be another like him.

Charlie Murphy, actor, comedian, writer, and older brother of Eddie Murphy has passed at the age of 57. He lost a long battle with Leukemia.

Some of his stuff on The Chapelle Show was greatest I've seen.

May I please ask all My fellow FT WILDERNESS FAMILY To remember Delaware State Trooper Cpl. Stephen Ballard and his family Cpl Ballard was executed in the Line Of Duty yesterday 26 April 2017
 
Most definitely Mike. In my mind it's more import to remember folks like CPL Ballard then many of the other "Stars" who often get the limelight. May he rest in peace and may his family find solace to ease their loss.

Prayers to the family and friends.
 
I always hold in the highest respect those men and women who are killed in the line of duty, especially law enforcement.
 
Today the 8th of May was once commonly remembered as VE DAY For all those of The Greatest Generation who gave so much for us I stand and salute you all

Christopher Boykin aka "Big Black" from Rob & Big.

Unless you have a teen boy or were a teen boy in the last decade, you probably don't know Big Black. His death is a shock at 45. He was a very large and funny guy. Sidekick to Rob Dyrdek, a pro skateboarder that turned his celebrity into an MTV multimedia series of shows.

My DS is not usually emotional, but he was stunned and headed straight to his room last night when I told him.

I am certainly not (nor was I) a teen boy during that time frame and I don't have any teen boys in the house. It is, however, very sad to see anyone die at such a young age. The article suggests that it was a heart attack. Not that I want anyone to suffer that way, I just hope it wasn't a result of the over/miss use of "Other" substances.

I would be very surprised to hear that. BB was a Navy veteran and has always had a public persona of being pretty straight. On the shows, he was the voice of reason to the completely "out there" Dyrdek. He was a VERY large guy and I suspect, at 45, was starting to deal with some of the health impacts of being that big. You never know what someone's personal life is really like, though.

Not sure how reliable THIS report is, but it speaks to him being hospitalized for "serious" heart issues, had an AICD (implanted defibrillator) and was told he would eventually need a heart transplant.

Sad.
