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 ?

Robin Williams, on my birthday. Great guy, a gamer, and knew his way around computers. It might not have hit as hard if it hadn't been my birthday.
