Obit of the Day: Lives Lost in 2011

The Daily Feed gets a huge thank you for compiling this. OOTD doesn’t have the staff (me) or budget (zero). So enjoy.

Remembering the most accomplished, entertaining, notorious and inspiring people we lost in 2011.

Here are the OOTD posts on the folks in the video:

Steve Jobs   

 Andy Rooney

 Clarence Clemons

 Betty Ford

Geraldine Ferraro  

Osama Bin Laden

Muammar Qadaffi

Sargent Shriver

Jack Kevorkian

Fred Shuttlesworth

Joe Frazier

Harmon Killebrew

Walt Hazzard

Al Davis

Bubba Smith

Peter Falk

Jeff Conaway

Sherwood Schwartz (one of my favorite posts of 2011)

Nick Ashford

Don Kirshner

Sidney Lumet

Jack LaLanne

Randy “Macho Man” Savage

And there are considerably more than aren’t listed here or mentioned in the video. (The video is much better than the disaster that was this year’s Emmy “In Memoriam” with the Canadian Tenors. Ugh.)

For a full year long look at obits, check out the Obit of the Day Archive.
