Seeing as how the list includes a dog nobody ever heard of, it would probably be a subjective comparison.

Bowie is dead. Prince is dead. Ali is dead, and I even, tonight, I do not feel very well...

 

[orb]

Ron Glass, November (I think the best known by us from Firefly / Serenity).

 

[Mojave]

Christina Grimmie in June.

 

[SolarLiner]

Christina Grimmie in June.

Not to rank, but to me this one has affected me the most, being in the younger end of the spectrum on this forum. Such a voice talent...

 

[ex-orbinaut]

Depressing sort of thread, but I expected someone would start it...

Probably someone who left us very quietly in 2016 but who really should be acknowledged by aviation orientated people...

Eric Brown

Several others here in this list which were surprising.

In there or not, of particular interest to me were these people;

George Kennedy (February), actor from the old "Airport" movies, among others.

Ronnie Corbett (March), of "The Two Ronnies".

Paul Daniels (March), I really used to enjoy his magic show when I lived in England.

Pete Burns (October), of the band "Dead or Alive".

Robert Vaughn (November), actor "The Magnificent Seven"

Andrew Sachs (December), you know, "I come from Barcelona".

There were some others I noted during the year, cannot remember right now, perhaps don't want to...

Edit:

Here they all are. See if you can get through it.
