Everyone keeps referring to 2016 as the dumpster fire that never quit burning. It seemed like every few days someone who made a brilliant mark on this world died. But it wasn’t all bad… here are some folks who didn’t die in 2016 . (I waited until 12:01 AM, January 1 to post it just to make sure no one on the list died at the last minute.)

James Stewart

Cesar Romero and Eartha Kitt

Bob Denver (Little Buddy!)

Abe Lincoln

Helen Keller

This inflatable dinosaur and friends

Kurt Cobain

Lemmy from Møtørhead
Ronald Reagan

Ray Nitschke

That Guy from Styx (No, that other guy)

Charles Schulz

The Guy driving this car

Jon Lovitz

Paul Newman
James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart and that guy behind the counter in that famous painting.
Doesn’t that make you feel better?
