As each passing year brings new memories and milestones, each also unfortunately signals a time to mourn some of our beloved family, friends, and figures.
Among that number are stars of the screen, stage, and airwaves, activists, sports stars, and media personalities, and beyond – notable figures who blaze trails for our people or leave an undeniable impact on our communities.
In this space, we commemorate the lives of those we lost this year. May their lights forever shine as their impact continues to be felt for generations.
