Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul - They were the backbone of Pantera and I won't be told otherwise. We're nearing 20 years since we've lost Dimebag and 5 years since we've lost Vinnie Paul.

Terry Pratchett. I'm grateful for the books he wrote and the impact he had on my life, but I feel we lost a champion for wit and empathy when he died.

I'm with you on this one. GNU PTerry

Came here to answer PTerry too. I cherish his books (going to re-read them all again soon). I love the way he gave the fantasy genre an unadulterated joy. His books are the only ones that can make me cry with laughter, even on trains where I try to behave 😀 Also, he’s the only author who made me want to read footnotes 😂

The world got a little darker when he died.
