People pass away every day but, in 2016, it is no secret that some of the world's most loved, most known stars were sadly taken from us. It has been a heartbreaking year, many celebrity couples who we all thought would go the distance separated, many places were hit by attacks and disasters and people who we would class as 'legends' and 'icons' passed away.
I don't know what it was about 2016 but we all suffered and the losses we experienced this year were not just losses for the relatives of those who died but losses for the world as people who injected nothing but light and goodness into the universe shall not be going into 2017 with us. Seeing as though we lost so many well-known people this year, I wanted to dedicate a blog post to them by compiling their names into a list so we can look reflect on their lives and remember and appreciate all that they did, no matter how famous or not famous they were.

Here is a compilation of those who died this year to give us a chance to look back on their achievements and to remember the ways in which they touched our hearts.
