The Memorial Thread (of those who have passed on.)

Can't believe this. Just found out about it.

His death is so unusual to me, because I've always felt Bowie a legend... a living legend--someone who's music we're blessed to enjoy and know he's still around and shares a place on this earth. I never took David for granted. This man is larger than life.

Now he's gone.

...and now Alan Rickman as well





What the hell, I think 69 is still way too early to go.

Rest well, Alan Rickman.

My wife's sister and brothers close friend Cooper Nemeth was murdered a few days ago. He was only 17.

That's awful Max, really sorry to hear that and thoughts are with you guys.  I didn't think that kind of thing happened in Canada.

I actually live in the murder capital of Canada. Thank you for your words.

When I was in Ottawa in high school, some guy in my school murdered his mom during the lunch break. Some people are messed up.

It's sad to see that the murder was drug related. That's my main concern with the marijuana laws in Canada - teens get involved with criminals and there's no rules in the drug game. People get robbed, beaten, and sometimes murdered. It's so uncivilized

I just heard about this. It's like the Michael Jackson week all over again.

When I was 20 or 21 I got held up at knife point over some beer and pot... Not very fun lol.

R.I.P. Muhammad Ali one of the greatest prize fighters of all time. Float like a butterfly sting like a bee.

A legend in Sport, Faith and Humanity...
Rest in Peace...

Very sad to hear about Mr. Ali.  He was very inspiring in my opinion not because of the religious choices - but because he revolutionised boxing based on his personal approach, and I love that he achieved that with all the charisma to boot.  So I like to remember who he was in his own person, not who he was as a symbol for something we like.  It seems a little unfair to his memory to use him as a statement, to me.
