[OBIT] 2026 Gone But Not Forgotten thread

So there were quite a few notable deaths today beyond the NBA ones. I don't feel like doing all the obits, but we also lost Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds (Donald Gibbons), film critic (and maybe he was a trashy gossipy one, but that's ok) Rex Reed, Barry Blaustein who gave us Beyond the Mat, actor Jack Taylor (Conan the Barbarian) and former 49er and NFL hall of fame Charle Young.

Damn. RIP fellas.
 
Clarence Carter - soul and bluesman, 90

If you don't know Strokin' you have missed out.

Stacey was on the heavier side and considering that he fell in his home, this may be cardiac arrest. unfortunate to pass at such an age, condolences to all who knew him
 
Former 49ers Pro Bowl DE Aldon Smith died today at the age of 36. A great player who never managed to conquer his demons. I’m sad for him, sad for his family, and sad for all the potential, all the joy, and all the lives destroyed by addiction.
 
addiction seems to be taking way too many athletes & entertainers in general early in life. goes to show all the money to take care of yourself isn't a given to contentment in real life. money management should be introduced to every athlete as soon as they get drafted, maybe even at the college level.
