Christine Lee

For Dennis Michael "Denny" Barthel · 6d ago

My mom just called me about this, she said he used to fix things for half the street in North Benton and never let anyone pay him. Never met him myself but she was crying a little on the phone.

For Izabella Loving · 23 Sept 2026

My mom called me crying when this hit the local news out here, she couldn't even get the words out at first. Five years old. I keep thinking about the five hours before anyone called for help.

For Steve Luke · 17 Sept 2026

I only spoke with him once, at an Illinois State meet last spring. He was walking a vaulter through her steps on the runway, patient and quick with a joke between attempts. You could tell right away why athletes stayed with him for years.

For Catherine Ringer · 15 Sept 2026

I only knew her music through my parents' records, but when I heard she'd died I felt it. Rest well, Catherine.

For Yves Schlirf · 12 Sept 2026

Mr. Schlirf's editorial vision bridged Franco-Belgian bande dessinée and manga for an entire generation of Francophone readers. A significant loss to European publishing.

For Betye Saar · 30 Aug 2026

Four days shy of 100, and her work will outlive us all. The way she took those racist objects and made them speak back with power and rage and grace - that was something only she could do.

For John Crowley · 28 Aug 2026

His essays on aging changed how I think about time and decline. A rigorous mind, always.

For Chuck Russell · 23 Jul 2026

Dream Warriors when I was twelve changed everything for me about what horror could be. Sophisticated, inventive, genuinely unsettling. A director who never talked down to the audience.

For James Earl Jones · 23 Sept 2025

Mr. Jones's contributions to theatre and cinema are well documented. His perseverance through adversity, particularly his triumph over stuttering, remains an inspiration to many. A remarkable legacy.

For Mario Vargas Llosa · 11 Sept 2025

The obituaries called him the last of the Boom writers. His technique of interlacing narratives influenced generations of novelists worldwide. A significant loss for literature.

So young. Terrible.
