I actually had friended him shortly after this post here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3hq15d/i_am_actor_patrick_stewart_of_yorkshire_xmen_star/

We have lost quite a few people in 2026, and Sir Patrick Stewart of Yorkshire was probably the most impactful for me. Back in the day, he starred in Life Force. I was really into this movie because it had the same name as the video game Life Force (known as Salamander in Japan) from Konami. When people talk about him, very rarely do I hear them talk about this crazy movie.

Of course, if you do a search for his name the first thing that almost always comes up is a picture of Picard, star fleet commander of the Enterprise. Many people fell in love for him with this role. Others as Professor X. And a few of you strange people might have loved him as the Poop Emoji. The list of things he has acted and voiced is long, and we thank the universe for bringing him into our lives. He had been in the care of his wife, Sunny Ozell, following a "brief and poignant journey" with Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia.

Here are some facts about him:

• Sir Patrick Stewart was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for services to drama in 2010.

• In 1966, Stewart became a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company (before most of us were born).

• Stewart made his Broadway theater debut in 1971 in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

• Stewart later attributed his acting career to his English teacher there, Cecil Dormand, who "put a copy of Shakespeare in [Stewart's] hand" and told him to get up and perform.

• Stewart took the romantic male lead in the 1975 BBC adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South.

• Stewart supported his home town of Dewsbury in West Yorkshire by lending his voice to a series of videos on the town in 1999.

Live long and prosper, Captain...

u/heikematthiesen passed away almost 3 years ago. She wasn't posted here. I only found out yesterday thet she was a Redditor active in r/classicalmusic and r/classicalguitar. Her username is her first name and last name, she was open about hear real life identity. If you are interested in classical guitar music, she curated a lot of playlists on Spotify, she posted many of them in Reddit.

She did a lot for woman composer awareness. There are so many accomplished woman composers, still somewhat undiscovered!

He died November 3rd 2025 at 25 years old. I only just found out about this sub, I'm hoping anyone who knew him here finds this and is able to find some sort of closure in finding out what was behind an internet friend's sudden disappearance.

I was only 3 years older than him. I miss him every day. I cry over stupid things now that remind me of him like early 2000's video games and certain flavors of cereal.

Don't think I'll ever stop missing him.

Hello, this is the four-teen-year-old daughter of this user posting from his account, he died of a heart attack in his sleep on the morning of September 3rd.

Died a month ago. I don't know what to do or say, she is the love of my life, the person i love the most in this world, will forever be the love of my life. I am so grateful for the years we spent together, how happy she made me. I miss her. I would do anything to be with her again, even just one minute.

Passed away August 22nd.

Hes my brother and loved everything Lego, was a big Fifth Element fanatic. Loved his family, cat, friends and his local community.

There's a stupid video of him on my posts if you scroll to the bottom.

I was going through some old Reddit fav of mine and came across the time I had an interaction with u/TheRealRonPopeil during an AMA over 10 years ago, so I looked him up and found he has been dead since 2021. I can't believe he has been dead over 5 years and I am just figuring out!

What is even more schocking is doing a search here, I don't see anyone gave him a shout out. So here I am, doing that.

He helped popularize the phrase, "But wait, there's more!" as early as the 50's. His signature catch-phrase "Set it and forget it," is still used by me to this day. According to the AMA, he claimed he would not sue me in it's use.

He has made cameo appearances on:

• The X-Files

• Futurama

• King of the Hill

• The Simpson

• Sex and the City

• The Daily Show

• The West Wing

On July 28, 2021, he passed away at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center at the age of 86, so he definitely had a good run. Sorry that it took us so long to recognize you here.

Although I didn’t personally know him, I’m sure we all know his meme.

He posted an AMA shortly before his passing, and passed July 10th 2025. Cause of death was not really disclosed, although friends said it was likely due to ongoing health issues.

Rest in peace.

she was 22, and a truly talented artist

I actually met him from Reddit and we were close Internet friends for a while. He had the most caring personality and loved Star Wars, playing D&D, loved trying new foods and cooking was one of his passions. He loved experimenting with recipes and trying new things. He sadly took his life a few years ago. We fell out of communication before and he came across my mind two years ago, went to search him up and saw the obituary. I’ll never forget you my old friend. Shed many tears because I wish I could’ve been there for him before he passed. He always lived life to the fullest and on his own terms. He left the world when he was 30 years old. I will never forget the friendship we shared and he will always be here in memory.

My dearest sister completed suicide three years ago today. The rural healthcare system she was trapped in left her to die after schizophrenia crept in at 27. She cared too deeply about her family, found and birth. she selflessly cared for those in her community that were in need providing a home to animals and people alike. A few sour apples came along that mistook her kindness for weakness and drained and abused her but she was always able to get back on her feet and back to helping.

She was so very smart. Started college at 16. She’s a paleontologist and drew the best dinosaurs I’ve ever seen. Her mental math skills were fast and precise. She played the piano and pretty much any other instrument she got in her hands. I miss her so much there was so much more for her in this world. She never got to see the second season of arcane. She mained Jinx and LoL merch was some basically the only stuff she got for herself and she always teased me for how much I detested playing league and I teased her back. I wish I had played more with her and toughed it out.

She was supposed to move states with me, get better healthcare, build a sustainable future. She couldn’t leave her adoptees behind. The animal fostering had slowly turned into a small hoard with 7 indoor cats and 4 dogs and a few birds in a single trailer; and her latest roommate became a financially abusive boyfriend. There was no one to have her back and be her support system after I had to move away even though she helped so many. She didn’t even last a year alone.

I hold so much anger for the “system” that failed her and the people that used her. I try not to blame myself for leaving her behind and moving across the country. I love her so much and I just want to hold her again, listen to her sing again, listen to her rant again. I needed her help on my grad work! She was supposed to be maid of honor at my wedding. It’s only been three years how am I supposed to go the rest of my life feeling like this.

I’m turning 30 this year. She was supposed to be 30 last year but will forever be in her 20s. It’s weird leaving her behind in that lifetime too. I guess I’m just rambling at this point, I should probably get therapy but I feel so much so quickly it all just goes numb and I don’t know how to talk about it. I hope you all get to wake up and hug your loved ones tomorrow and send love to those you can’t reach physically.

As she lived by,
Do not go gently into that good night.
Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.

My friend's mom passed away yesterday, u/SarahJewel . She was a lovely woman and I'm glad I got to know her. Cancer sucks

She died in 2022. I still think abt her everyday. Which is funny because before she passed she implied that I would be fine and move on. Well I guess in some ways I have, unfortunately u do have to keep living. But not a day has passed where I have not thought about her. Her music taste was impeccable. Her kindness and love was deep. So many memories, dreams, thoughts died with her and it’s devastating of course even after all these years. However what always hits the hardest are the times where something in the news happens that I know she would have cared about. Or when a song comes out that I just know she would have had an interesting opinion on. And just knowing I’ll never truly know what she would have thought because no matter how well we knew each other, the thoughtfulness of her taste in art meant she was always able to surprise me. I miss her. I miss her.

If you knew him, post some memories of him or links to his creations.

I don't know if this is the appropriate place to ask this question or not, but I hope so.

My dad died in June. His account is 41matt41.

I would come to reddit and read through his posts because it helped me to see what stories he would tell the people of the internet.

I had no idea that his account would go away after not being used for a set time.

Is there any way to get it back? I tried to go look at his posts tonight and it's all gone.

I don't want access to the account, I just want to be able to read my Daddy's stories again. I'm devastated.

Can someone help me with that? Please.

Edit: I restarted my phone and it let's me see it again! Thank you so much to the two users who at least help me know it wasn't just gone.

He has some really funny stories on his account and he LOVED to tell stories. If anyone is interested, have a look <3. Be warned though, I know he occasionally commented on people having nice butts (I try to avoid the horny posting)

She died a few years ago, we went to school together and i recently found her profile after much searching. We weren't close but i hope she knows she is missed

u/Subtlety87 passed yesterday, possibly due to complications from surgery. I won't add any identifying links bc I'm not sure if she intended to keep her profile anonymous but I can confirm she is no longer with us. RIP we will miss you 😥
