Andy Whitfield. I saw season 1 of that show Spartacus on Netflix and then happened to see his cancer documentary right after. I never went back for season 2 I was so disappointed.

The one thats affected me the most was Chris Cornell.
When I heard Sound Garden’s black hole sun at 12 years old in 1994, it changed my life, that band started me on a path of the type of music I listened to for the rest of my life so far, Starting with Grunge/Alternative, through to Rock & Metal.

Dimebag. Guy is a legend. Felt like I knew him from all of the home videos from back in the day. By all accounts one of the nicest most genuine people who ever existed. Getting shot on stage doing what he loved is the definition of tragedy.

Apple would be more effificent at sucking its fans dry with him still in charge, that's for sure.

I understand if it's the death of person close to you. But this idolization of people like us who just happen to be famous to the point that their deaths affect us? Come on. They're people... not gods.

Chester Bennington and Anton Yelchin come to mind.

This is hard to answer. I've never made a deep connection with a famous person. They are out there, not here. Any affect of the death would be more from the collective mourning of the people around.
edit:
At the end of the day that's all they are, people. I can understand that some celebrities and other figures out there may have had profound impacts on the directions of a persons life. In those cases I can see why people seriously would mourn. For me though, they are just people.

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
Jesus, obviously.
He died so I can jerk off to Hentai and be forgiven; what greater effect is there?

He didn't commit suicide over depression or substance abuse, he did it because he had lewy body dementia and was literally losing himself.
Horrible disease.

Most definitely had to be Patrice Oneal. Would love to see his take on things in today's political and social climate.

When Kevin Spacey’s career died I was devastated.
In all seriousness though 100% Steve Jobs. That man changed the world like 5 times. Absolutely a once in a lifetime figure in the corporate/tech world. He’s turning in his grave at just how little Apple has innovated since his passing.

Satoru Iwata. He helped shape a big part of my childhood during his tenure with Nintendo. He was personable and engaged with the fan base through the Directs which made him the literal face of the company for investors and players alike. The way he handled the WiiU’s failure with a paycut for himself and other executives was so commendable and I have infinite respect for him and that servant-leader management style. I wish more CEOs would emulate that.
Also all the fan art that came out around his passing legit tugged at my heartstrings.

Andy Whitfield, the best Spartacus. It didn't make me sad but was sobering.

Elisabeth Sladen and Nicholas Courtney, aka Sarah Jane Smith and Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart from Doctor Who.
Growing up, Doctor Who gave me far more of a moral compass to follow than my family ever did.
After the Doctor, who could sometimes be as arragant and inhumane as the monsters he fought, it was these two who I looked up to, who showed me what I could be in the face of any injustice or fear, that gave me an example of strength, courage and hope in the face of things that were impossible to overcome, and that that just meant it was more important than ever to try to.
They gave me something to measure myself against, as melodramatic as that sounds, and I hope I've been able to live up to that example in my own small, boring way.
Their deaths just hurt so much.

The only famous persons death that affected me was Sean Taylor. Being a Redskins fan my whole life(sadly) it really hit me hard. We were around the same age and the fact he died defending his family really added to it.

I'm not really a person emotionally affected by a famous person's death, but the death of Aaliyah in 2001 did hit quite hard. She was a very down-to-earth and likable girl, as well as extremely talented. A loss.

His divorces didn’t help, and forced him to make a lot of shitty movies to service the ridiculous alimony. Pretty much ruined his life. He should have been relaxing at that phase of his career, not burning the candle at both ends to pay off the ex-wives.

I never really let celebrity passings effect me, until Carrie Fisher. Balled my eyes out. And then balled my eyes again a few days later when Debbie Reynolds died.

George Michael. We are about the same age, he was slightly older than me. I’m a fan of great pop songs and vocal arrangements, and he was a supremely gifted dude with some personal demons, which I related to. I was in Germany when he really became popular and girls thought I looked like him. It helped me a lot George
