The Grim Reaper Catches-up

[Fierce Critter]

I was doing this pretty regularly for a while, then just got tired of doing it. A few people took over here and there, but here are some notables that might have been missed.

In the interest of brevity, I'm only posting names, age, date of passing. This picks up around the time I moved back and slacked off (I'm leaving out people I think were covered by others, but I might slip on a few.)
