[Joey Russ 7,229]

Nah, biggest death of the month is clearly Laura Barry cause it puts Death Impends among the front runners for the DDP again...

‘Bigness’ isn’t defined by your precious DDP, dolt

[John Robinson 71]

August: Aretha Franklin/John McCain

Since August is almost over, I'm torn between these two since they were really significant in their own rights. Who was more significant in your opinion?

[Joey Russ 7,229]

On a worldwide view, probably Aretha Franklin. On a personal level though, it’s Stefan Karl Stefansson...

[alt obits guy 3,371]

Most months it's slim pickings.  Not August 2018.  Haven't seen this many go notables go since December 2016.  Aside from Aretha Franklin & John McCain, Kofi Annan and Neil Simon merit serious consideration.   A level down in fame, but still well known are Charlotte Rae, Jim Neidhart and, depending from which country you hail, Barry Chuckle & Stan Mikita.

A younger generation considers Stefan Karl a house hold name while both VS Naipaul and Rick Genest were respected in their fields,  so yeah, a huge month in celebrity deaths...

For september is has to be burt reynolds unless a big death happens in next few days.

[John Robinson 71]

October: Paul Allen (National).

Worldwide: Charles Aznavour, at least in France.

 

[Drewsky1211 4,759]

Stan Lee is definitely gonna be November's (unless someone more important dies).

[John Robinson 71]

November: Stan Lee 

The most significant death this month in my opinion.

[John Robinson 71]

Since George H.W Bush died after I made my last post. Will it now be Stan Lee or George H.W. Bush?.

George Bush is a December death. I think? Either way he's the most significant death of the month he died in. Unless he's a December death and the queen dies tomorrow. 

[CoffinLodger 1,248]

Officially he died nov 30 Texas time so I guess he was the biggest November death

[dean1991 116]

I reckon a musician will be December's spotlight. 

 

Gonna say Meatloaf.

February: Billy Graham

March: Stephen Hawking

April: Barbara Bush

May: Alan Bean 

June: Joe Jackson (because he gave us The Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson) 

July: No one  (For Norway: Thorvald Stoltenberg)(Britain: Lord Peter Carrington)

August: Tied: Kofi Annan and John McCain with the Honorable Mention of Aretha Franklin

September: Burt Reynolds

October: N. D. Tiwari

November: G. H. W. Bush and as his vice-president Stan Lee

December: Dr. Larry Roberts -  Internets founding fatter. Honorable mention: All the victims of the Sunda Strait Tsunami, especially those affliliated with the band: Seventeen. 

R.I.P. I really feel Sorry for `Ifan` lost his girlfriend, 3 band members, his manager, a crew member, lots of his fans, all of the band's instruments and electronic equipment all in one fatal sweep during the tsunami. Terrible. How does one make sense of all this?

[the_engineer 1,415]

From a British point of view i'd say paddy ashdown. 

 

Dynamite kid was well known in japan,usa and europe so worldwide maybe him.

 

So i'd say one of those for december.

[drol 11,979]

Kim Chol-man, Girma Woldegiorgis and Tulsi Giri. Completely irrelevant to the rest of the world but top deaths for me.

[John Robinson 71]

December: Penny Marshall or Ken Berry 

 

Now that I think about it, i'm confused on whether to pick Ken Berry or Penny Marshall. 

 

Who was more significant in your opinion?.

 

[Davey Jones' Locker 1,324]

Deutsche Welle analyzed German Google search stats and apparently the biggest death of the year was the suicide/mysterious death of reality television "star" Daniel Küblböck:

Ken Berry hit me harder personally being a fan of Herbie Rides Again and The Cat from Outer Space.
