2019 was an exceptionally tragic year for the world of music with the sudden
passing even if C Hustle followed by juice world just before the end of the
year now these were some of the most impactful departures for us here on this
channel and there were more from the world of television this includes Luke
Perry John Witherspoon Beth Chapman and Cameron Boyce know lots of these were
highly publicized by the media but there were a ton of others who you may be
surprised to find out that they've passed on
for example Peter Mayhew of Star Wars fame he played Chewbacca now the YouTube
community also faced its own catastrophic loss with the charismatic
creator of Etica also known as Desmond a MOFA well he decided to take his own
life that we never made a video on Anakin that before or after his passing
but as the year and this decade come to a close what we think it's only fitting
that we pay our respects for over five years now I've been documenting the
lives of those who have left us in various variations of our gone series
now the purpose of these is to reflect on these amazing and talented
celebrities and we hope to pay tribute to how each of them change the world in
some way shape or form now please keep it classy in the
comments down below and please feel free to leave your condolences for the
departed my name is Michael cretin and let's jump into In Memoriam for 2019
kicking things off with the world of music Keith Flint the lead singer of the
influential British dance and electronic band The Prodigy well he was found dead
on March 4th at his home near London no keith was 49 years old at the time of
his passing and sadly he had taken his own life at the time he was also on a
heavy combination of substances now the band they reached mainstream success in
1996 when tracks breathe and firestarter but they continued to release music - a
massive cult following for over three decades now I'm actually a huge fan of
the album invaders must die at his funeral while there was a procession 1.5
miles long obviously this this man had a huge impact on a lot of people
come on grammy-nominated artist Nipsey Hussle he was shot and killed outside
his own clothing store in South Los Angeles on March 31st and a gruesome
attack that took his life now he was only 33 years old we've paid tribute to
him in a video we titled calm but not forgotten so let's roll a clip from that
now outside of music nipsey he had made big moves to give back to the community
that he came from history we're brand and his store the marathon clothing
smart star was opened in 2017 located on Slauson Avenue in the same area he grew
up in there was a funeral procession that was over 25 miles long that went
through the streets of South LA including the area he grew up in no
tributes they poured in from all corners of the world including the letter from
former President Barack Obama now this was read at his funeral sent in
regarding the life and celebration of Nipsey Hussle there were over 50 murals
they were painted all over Los Angeles to tribute and well this was one that
was felt the world over and the world the hip-hop it just didn't need another
stupid gun violent act like this kpop star sullied the South Korean pop star
and actress she died at the age of 25 on October 14th that she was discovered
dead at her home she had been performing since the fourth grade as a member of a
girl group she was a solo artist an actress and an all-around star
she was also vocal about the continuous strain she felt from kpop fandom and
cyberbullying and in the end she - she took her own life another passing a
juice world it came as a complete shock to everyone in the world of
entertainment the world of hip-hop they just couldn't bear to face another loss
this young man he was so young and one of the most promising up-and-coming
artists of his generation now he did a video on him so let's roll clip from
that I witnessed this man's career from start to finish and could truly say he
was a one-of-a-kind now he wasn't in the SoundCloud freshman
class but he came up a few years later and there were a ton of things that
separated him from his counterparts now for one the music he was emo and he grew
up on rock and he showed a great appreciation for a wide variety of
genres and he was a self-described old soul now he also rapped about depression
addiction and heartbreak which are themes often overlooked in hip hop on
top of all this well he was world famous but had decided to lock it down in a
committed relationship now our prayers they go into his girlfriend and his
family another dude was an all-around lovable guy at 21 years of age he lived
more than most of us ever will now with that said he also had a long history of
drug use I would tell myself to stay as far away from drugs as possible it was
an accidental overdose that resulted in his unexpected passing now this one it
actually hit me hard the fact that me and him had a few interactions via
social media it just it takes things to another level I I truly can't believe it
for real okay so let's take a look at the world of television and film okay
there's a quite a few stars who I didn't get to make it before they were gone
video on but a lot of you guys were very vocal that you wanted us to do it I'm
sorry sometimes we just we're not hear that it's just not right for the show
but there was actor Cameron Boyce he was known for his role in the Disney Channel
series Jesse and the franchise descendants and the Adam Sandler films
grownups now he died on July 6th at his home in Los Angeles a statement from his
family says he passed away in his sleep due to his seizure which was the result
of an ongoing medical condition no he was only 20 years old and this one hit
hard for a younger generation of fans the morning was shared across social
media at an unprecedented level it's very sad it's just terrible to see
someone go so young beginnings so much ahead of us know on the flip side we had
an OG who to many was their TV dad his nickname was pops I'm talking about John
Witherspoon from Friday Fame now the comedian and actor he died at the age of
77 on October 29th now I've met with his son JD so again this one felt a little
close to home we actually made a video in regards to John Withers
so let's roll clip from that there was television and film career it's been 5
decades he was 77 years old at the time of his passing and he leaves behind his
wife and his two sons that's a lot of money that's pretty good Beth Chapman
the wife and the co-star of Dog the Bounty Hunter she died on June 26 after
an almost two-year battle with cancer she was 51 years old an obviously dog
well he's been left devastated I'm just done beep you know it's trying to trying
to man up has there been anything that you've been doing that has helped a
little bit the day-to-day music I think and being not alone with friends and
family helps a lot Rip Torn the veteran actor perhaps best known for his role as
Ed and men in black or patches o'houlihan at dodgeball well he died
peacefully at his home in Lakeville Connecticut in July now he was 88 years
old this man had a career show business that spanned back to the 50s what a
legend no actor Luke Perry he died on March 4th at the age of 52 now when I
was growing up Luke Perry he was all over my sister's bedroom wall like not
literally him they were posters of him from like nano2 a know he was the teen
idol of a generation just above me I don't know who I would compare that to
maybe like david dobrik the guy was huge no he kept busy in Hollywood and his
final role was an appearance in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in
Hollywood but sadly he died on March 4th just before the movie came out now this
was due to a massive stroke he suffered a week before the man was only 52 years
old at the time On January 2nd of this year Super Dave
Osborne or Bob Einstein he passed away at the age of 76 after a lengthy battle
with leukemia now I grew up with Super Dave Osborne he was like my late-night
TV show hosts a child and from what I can remember he died on that show like
every day unfortunately this time it's for
and don't do anything until I say go what they're gonna try to do is crush me
with an 11 tonne metal
Chuy Bravo the lung type Chelsea Lately sidekick he died on December 15th at the
age of 63 after being hospitalized at Mexico City for stomach ailments now
Chelsea she paid a touching tribute to Instagram where she posted I love this
nugget in a big way and I took great pleasure in how many people loved him as
much as I did and do Chuy Bravo gave us so much laughter and I'll never forget
the sound of his laughter coming from his office into mine or his business
calls with his business manager or shoe rack with all his children size shoes

everyone now Peter Mayhew the man who portrayed the legendary Star Wars
character of Chewbacca now he he was in the original and the new trilogy but
sadly he passed away on April 30th 2019 at the age of 74 now I recently came
across some footage of Peter in character where he would actually speak
with Harrison Ford I thought this was really interesting so take a look at oh

up that old man who would have thought you Baca was British I actually knew
that but anyway another passing you may not have heard of was my Alyssia Naylor

died at 16 after collapsing never cause of death it was unknown but we later
found out that she was being stressed out with school she got grounded by her
parents she told them she wanted to die and then her death it was labeled a
misadventure means she accidentally commits suicide
other icons include Elsa Patton who you may not know by name but I got a feeling

of Miami alongside her daughter who died at the age of 84 that's according to a
statement released by her family on May 12

now finally we have Etica now he wasn't the biggest youtuber in the world
he wasn't globally known but he did have a huge impact on the community and he
was well known for his undeniable talent now in a strange series of events that
involved police raids mentions of suicide and a whacky appearance on
dramaalert well he admitted to being mentally ill and suicidal now he posted
the video to YouTube titled I'm sorry which the description would later be
deemed to suicide now now he took his own life on the Manhattan Bridge fans
later erected a memorial on his behalf on the pedestrian walkway of the
Manhattan Bridge now a fund raiser was also held in his name which raised over
$11,000 to go towards mental illness noetic and also asked to be buried at
YouTube headquarters I don't think that happened but damn this man he really
loved this platform to its core now I feel Atika he would have wanted me to

finish we just found the situation too much to grasp at the time and it was an
all-around tragedy and well at least we're making mention of him today and
showcasing some of his talent alright guys my apologies to anyone we missed
