For me it was Cheater Bennington. Linkin Park music helped me through some hard times and I know some of the more impactful lyrics came from him and what he experienced.

Knowing he couldn’t take it anymore definitely hit Me hard particularly as someone I looked up to from young age …

Who was yours ?

This one was one of the 1st celebrity deaths to impact me. The worst part was he was not very well known at the time, so nobody knew who I was talking about when I said stuff like "I can't believe Mitch Hedberg died" which sucked. There was only a couple people I knew that even knew who he was.
