Saying goodbye to those we lost: 2014 celebrity deaths.

During 2014 we said goodbye to many celebrities and artists who made us laugh, cry, and think differently about our lives. We also saw the passing of giants of industry, politicians who shaped our world, and special people who sparked national conversations.

As the year draws to a close we take a moment to remember those luminaries who are no longer with us.

We also take time to say goodbye to the people in our lives who never made it to a top ten list or on whom a wider spotlight never shined. To these special people, we say “we miss you” and we are glad you touched our lives.
