For Mushtaq Khan · 24 Sept 2026
My uncle died of liver cancer three years ago, fifteen days in the hospital too, and reading this took the wind out of me a little. Never met Mushtaq Khan, only knew him from Welcome, he made that whole movie funnier just by being in it. 56 is nothing.
For Sergey Sosedov · 23 Sept 2026
my roommate in grad school was really into Russian pop and she'd play me clips of him on Superstar, subtitles half broken, and he still made me laugh at some kid butchering a note. 58. that's no age at all.
For Jeffery Lee · 17 Sept 2026
I watched a true crime special on this case with my sister back in the 2000s and it stuck with me ever since, that jury said life and a judge overrode it anyway. 49 years old. Hard to know what to feel today.

He believed things could change if people sat down and thought them through together. So many of us need that kind of hope right now. Rest well, sir.
For Len Brown · 7 Sept 2026
I grew up collecting those cards he dreamed up at Topps. He understood what we wanted to see, what made us excited. Such a gift to give kids that kind of joy. Rest well, Len.
For He Yong · 3 Sept 2026
We were born the same year. I saw him once on a documentary about Beijing rock in the 90s and never forgot that voice, the raw honesty of it. He asked if there was hope and made you feel like the question mattered. Rest well.
For Garry Sobers · 19 Jul 2026
I remember watching him bat on television when I was young. There was something about the way he moved that made you believe anything was possible. Rest easy, Sir Garry.
For Robert Skidelsky · 20 Apr 2026
Such an elegant mind. He argued about what matters most: whether we have enough, whether we treat people fairly. Economics shouldn't be cold, and he never let it be.
For Elizabeth Taylor · 9 Aug 2025
She stood up when politicians wouldn't. She opened doors for AIDS patients and funding when it wasn't popular. That takes more than beauty. That takes real strength.
