Gale Sayers
If you are a Kansas fan, you probably know Gale “Kansas Comet” Sayers. He played for the school as its star running back from 1962 to 1964. On the other hand, you might also remember him for the time he spent on the Chicago Bears. He definitely deserves to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame! Pop culture buffs might know him as a good friend to Brian Piccolo. Did you know that their friendship was the inspiration for Brian’s Song? The team’s founder once had this to say about Sayers: “His like will never be seen again.” He passed away at the age of 77 on September 23. He had dementia at the time.

Kobe Bryant
The man, the myth, the legend – the whole world grieved when the media reported Kobe Bryant’s death. He led the Lakers to five NBA titles during his time on the court. At the time of his death, he had been 41 years old. Sadly, the same helicopter crash also claimed the life of his daughter Gianna.
