I would say Williams' death shocked me quite a bit. What about you?

Brandon Lee. I was a fan of Hong Kong and Martial Arts films when I was a kid and I had already known who he was from Showdown in Little Tokyo (1991) and Rapid Fire (1992), I had no idea he was about to blow up mainstream.
I got home one day and turned on the TV and was shocked to see what had happened on the news. I called my best friend up right away and told him and he couldn't believe it either. I was only about 13 or so at the time so it really made an impression.
Brandon Lee and Jon-Erik Hexum. First, because both of them clearly had the charisma to go far. Second, because both of their deaths were the result of such Olympian misfortune. SUCH a waste.
“Of all the words of tongue and pen/The saddest are these: “It might have been.”
RIP, Brandon and Jon-Erik. We remember you.
That was another one. Any time someone dies violently before their time like that its a shock.
shareHe was also known from The Crow, where he showed his true potential.

shareSeveral have shocked me over the past several years.
Robin Williams
Whitney Houston
Kobe Bryant
Bill Paxton
Carrie Fisher and her mother, Debbie Reynolds
Paul Walker
Phillip Seymour Hoffman
King Kong.
He was kidnapped, chained in a ship, and displayed on a New York City stage to rich people. He was then shot by fighter jets while enjoying the view from the top of the Empire State Building. SHEEESH!!!
Then there was former Beatles singer, John Lennon, shot to death in front of his New York City home. You'd think he'd have a bodyguard to prevent that.
Paul Walker. They were gonna kill him for sure, but not yet. Numb nut fucked up a bunch of Satanic rituals.
