Dammit, dropped him here but I still scored in the themed list.

978

Finally, some points! Thanks Rummy!

979

At least he did some good in this world. He left it.

980

983

Del Wilkes, who wrestled as The Patriot in several organizations including WWF, AJPW, and WCW has died from a heart attack at age 59.

Stu Maguire who played bass for Bane and Reach the Sky and also did work for the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and the Dropkick Murphy’s died from pancreatic cancer. A family member is deeply involved in that scene and helped with the benefit concert they had last night.

Michigan police told the Associated Press that Kivlenieks was attempting to jump out of a hot tub with others after a fireworks malfunction before he slipped and hit his head on concrete. He was pronounced dead on the scene after medical personnel arrived.
