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 ?

I don't see him on here, but Trevor Moore hit me super hard. I grew up watching WKUK, and was a big fan. He was only a couple years older than me, and what really resonated with me was that he had a son the same age as mine. It just got me thinking about my own mortality and what grief I would put my wife and son through if I'd passed away, and really put me in a dark place for a while. R.I.P. Trevor.

WKUK was making a comeback during COVID with lots of small videos and I really enjoyed them.

Yeah, and I was watching them starting to get back into them and the news hit. Super sad.
