Anthony Bourdain murdering himself absolutely enraged me. I wanted to go kick his corpse and yell at him. Such a stupid loss that will always hurt me.
I mean, mental illness sucks. Just speaking as one who's dealt with bipolar disorder and anxiety for the majority of my 35 years on this planet. 
I get being mad at the guy, grieving.  But it's a horrible place to be in, in that space between our ears. 

I think I can relate to the anger one might feel; I was an admirer and disappointed by ANTHONY BOURDAIN, but perhaps more shocked.  Sheet, the guy loved Punk Rock!  How was this possible? 
If you want to view paradise . . . simply look around and view it!

I can't speak for him personally. 

Me, I grew up a fan of punk rock, horror films, and comic books.  I was popular kid who was also 'distant.'  School counselor said he noticed signs of 'manic depression' and anxiety.  Accurate.  Instead of seeking help then, my 20's featured alcoholism, drug addiction, sex addiction and a variety of jobs and stuff.  Much like, apparently, Bourdain.  I self-medicated until I had a legit breakdown and sought help and 2 certified doctors gave me medication. 

Shockingly survived a few suicide attempts myself. 

He had access to money and help I could only dream of, but I understand the side of it where you don't want to face that side of yourself or admit, yes, you need help. 

I also was saddened by Robin Williams death.  While not a huge fan of his, I got the 'make everyone else laugh when that's what you really need to do" aspect of his life.

ROBIN WILLIAMS died the same day as my Gayle.  It took me a couple of years to feel bad about him.

Another completely needless death that robbed the world of a great and rare talent was the loss of Amy Winehouse. Her death upset me but I overreacted a little and couldn't figure out why it made me so down. Turns out, as I'd soon learn, I was pregnant again the summer after I'd just had my son in May, and my hormones were firing on all cylinders. Oy!  :cheers:
What does not kill me makes me stranger.

Gabriel Knight

Another death that made me really sad was of Norberto Napolitano, better known as Pappo, a guitar player from Argentina. What really bugged me was the fact that I was just starting to really enjoy his music when it happened, and never had the chance to see him play on stage. He died in 2005 in a motorcycle accident... at least he went doing what he loved!

He was incredibly relevant to the musical scene in Argentina, and made heavy metal popular. He was considered the best guitar player of his country, and B. B. King actually considered him the best of all times. Here's a video of them playing together:
