The Stiffs for 2018

For the 24th year running, we present our fondest farewells to the recently departed.

If they were on any lists — or if they mattered at all in the world — you'll find them here.

If you're looking for everybody, then you need to head on over to the Directory.

Verne Troyer · 49

January 1st, 1969 - April 21st, 2018

Needed help with depression and alcohol abuse. Came up a little short.

Barbara Bush · 92

June 8th, 1925 - April 17th, 2018

She gave birth to George W. AND Jeb. Thanks a pantload, Barb.

Art Bell · 72

June 17th, 1945 - April 13th, 2018

If you are a fan of complete WHACKJOBS, this is a huge loss.

Miloš Forman · 86

February 18th, 1932 - April 13th, 2018

Dobře placená procházka was WAY better than One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Disagree with us. WE WILL FIGHT YOU.

Mitzi Shore · 87

July 25th, 1930 - April 11th, 2018

You’d think someone who ran a comedy store could come up with a better name for her daughter than Sandy.

Susan Anspach · 75

November 23rd, 1942 - April 2nd, 2018

Everyone remembers Five Easy Pieces, but what about The Last Giraffe? What was wrong with that?

Winnie Mandela · 81

September 26th, 1936 - April 2nd, 2018

Nelson Mandela managed to make it through 27 years in prison, but could only handle 2 years married to Winnie once he was out. Not sure what all that means, but it can't be good.

Stephen Hawking · 76

January 8th, 1942 - March 13th, 2018

Say what you want about that crazy wheelchair and weird robot voice - this guy got ALL the chicks.

Roger Bannister · 88

March 23rd, 1929 - March 3rd, 2018

It took considerably longer than four minutes to think of this obituary.

Nanette Fabray · 97

October 27th, 1920 - February 22nd, 2018

There are few things less inspiring than scandal-free elderly celebrities.

Billy Graham · 99

November 7th, 1918 - February 21st, 2018

He's number 7 on Gallup's List of the Most Admired People of the 20th Century - one spot ahead of the Pope. That's gotta piss SOMEBODY off.

Marty Allen · 95

March 23rd, 1922 - February 12th, 2018

Most people know him as "The Darling of Daytime TV", but fewer people know him by his other nickname - "The Freak with the Weird Hairdo".

Vic Damone · 89

June 12th, 1928 - February 11th, 2018

Tzena, Tzena, Tzena.

John Gavin · 86

April 8th, 1931 - February 9th, 2018

His first big break was Imitation of Life. So, um, yeah.

Wally Moon · 87

April 3rd, 1930 - February 9th, 2018

He batted left-handed and threw right-handed - which explains why he didn't have a free hand to take care of that uni-brow.

John Mahoney · 77

June 20th, 1940 - February 5th, 2018

Good. Now we can finally throw out that stupid chair.

Ursula LeGuin · 88

October 21st, 1929 - January 22nd, 2018

She was made famous in 2000, back when we thought that just letting anyone submit anything that anyone anywhere had ever heard of, ever. Yeah. We stopped doing that.
