Goodbye, Wallace. Thank you for making my childhood fun and adventurous, I hope you've gone somewhere where there's cheese.

Terribly sad news, but at least he lived to a grand old age.

Rest in peace, man. Thanks for the amazing childhood memories.

I saw some of the Wallace and Gromit movies on Cartoon Network, in my high school years when it was still good and I liked them.


Would it be fair to compare this to when Charles Schultz died?

So sad. Those Wallace & Gromit features were fantastic!

i can't say i feel much for this in particular just because i'm not especially familiar with Wallace & Grommit (not that i haven't watched them, mind you), but i imagine many are feeling toward this like i was when Ernest Borgnine (Mermaid Man) or Arthur Anderson (Eustace Bagge) passed away. all of them were well-loved and lived good, long lives.

TV Batman actor Adam West dies at 88.

No, not Adam West.....

Rest in Peace Adam West, I got into the 66 batman series a bit later then most, but I really enjoyed them. Especially the revival comic series they did (I have two trades of it so far) He was a great Batman, and I'll miss him.

Rest in peace Adam West.

Goodbye, old chum. :'(

Requiescas in pace, William West Anderson. You deserved better than what you got, but we loved you all the same, and you will be missed.

America's Got Talent contestant, Dr. Brandon Rogers, has died in a car accident at the age of 29.

So young and we only got a small taste of what could have been...

A friend of a friend went missing Sunday night. They found her car earlier today with her dead in it. Apparently she went off the road. She is my Aunt's husbands step daughter.

She was 22 and full of life. Awful....

Oh my God... too young. Far too young. You also have my sincere condolences.

Thank you so much everyone. TBH I'm not even sure I met her. (We went to different schools and she never showed up to the same family events I did).

But it's terrible for the family and friends around me. Rip

Still not sure if this was a mistake, drunk drive or suicide.

I had one of my friends die when I was 21 via drug overdose so I have some idea of what you're going through. I'm really sorry for your loss.

Rest In Peace to my Grandma, she lived a long life and passed away early this morning at the age of 90. I'm glad she's no longer suffering in the hospital like she had been these past few weeks, but she's been with me my whole life, and it's going to be hard without her.
