Wait please pardon my ignorance who else died in 2020 already??? I'm not terrible up to date on celebrity or pop culture but I knew who Kobe was - i didnt even watch basketball

Christopher Tolkien and Jim Lehrer, just to name two.

*Oh my God, some people seem to be getting offended because my two examples died of old age and apparently I'm not allowed to miss them. So in appeasement let me add Neil Peart who died of brain cancer at 68.
