I'm going to pick December 3rd again

December 3rd

I'm a little surprised that nobody has David Milch, 78, in their DDP team. Diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2015, living in assisted-living facility since 2019, guaranteed obit. Former heroin user too, just for good measure.

Dead

Here's a classic photo from that Hamburg visit, Beryl is second left.

By "really sick" he meant that Jimmy just pulled off an incredible skateboard trick.

Dying in a bicycle accident at the age of 101 is kind of badass. Jimmy Carter would have survived the accident, though.

Matti Nurmi, businessman and the only child of running legend Paavo Nurmi has died at 90.

I had him last year! My primary reason for dropping him this year was that I'm very bad at DDP.

At this rate, I'm not sure there'll be any left for next year.

Great songwriter for sure. He's been so active in recent years that I personally wouldn't have probably put him on the list. So for once: Big hit by the committee!

Another day, another reddit post announcing the death of an actor from The Wire. This time it's Al Brown who played Stan Valchek. Curious how the character has his own wiki page but the actor doesn't, must be very rare.
