Really crazy length of time to fight such a terrible disease - would not wish that on anyone. You can find fairly recent pictures of him and it's hard to believe he was once a pro football player.

Guitar whiz Jason Becker was around 20ish when he was diagnosed, he just turned 57.

19?!

Oh look, who didn't know when OJ was born? That's not Simpson either, Frosty. It's Brigance. To answer your question, his birthday was September 29, 1969. Yes, there are so many horrible diseases out there that take years to waste away the mind or body. For Brigance, he would have been alert the entire time. Very sad. May he Rest In Peace. His suffering is finally over.

No idea who this is.

She looks familiar but yeah I’m with you on the no idea who she was thing. But do remember her from Nashville and some movies. She overdosed.

Pretty sure he was referring to 19 years of suffering from ALS not that he was 19 years old.

Speedy thought he had a win over me there. Let’s let him have it. It’s been a while.

Gotta let the picture come up. Shocked and saddened.

We sure will Dolly we sure will. By the way has anyone ever bought her baking mixes (you can get them from Primos Eats at Grant Park)? I've whipped a few of them up myself those were some really good biscuits this is how they turned out

Dolly Parton is straight up the best to have ever done it in Country music and one of the best all time, any genre.

In baseball they talk about the "Five Tool Player"... And she had every tool better than anyone ever had it. Songwriter, Musician, Vocalist, Entertainer, Businesswoman... She did it all and better than anyone else. I don't know that we'll ever see anyone with all the gifts ever again.

Country music is an intensely misogynistic genre, so people will say "best female, maybe..." and not want to categorize her with Haggard, Jones, Hank Sr, etc.... but she was so much more, so much better. And she did it all at a time where nobody wanted a woman to do it.

Just an absolutely gutting loss for the entire entertainment industry.

This is some of her recent work that was STILL miles better than her contemporaries...

Sad news indeed. RIP Dolly. Way too soon.

Oh Dolly- one of the absolute best humans.

Dolly's cause of death has already been determined, she died after a brief battle with cancer, I have never seen so many tributes for one person, even the CMHR paid tribute

I will drink two giant glasses of milk in her honor tonight....

Coat of Many Colours is the song that hits me the most.

Remembering Dolly Parton. I like to consider myself as "Man's Man" at my advanced age. That i take no **** from anyone. never have & never will. But this video got me good. I was weeping when I saw it. Very touching. Especially considering Dolly's passing. I'm sure she saw this at some point before she died & approved. Rest In Peace, Dplly/

Dolly reached out and spread goodness everywhere. This doesn't even surprise me:

That's the third Home Alone cast member we lost this year that went too soon IT'S NOT FAIR!!! the first thing I saw him in was well what else Muppet Treasure Island, he had alot of voice over roles including Mattimeo a Tale of Redwall where he voiced Slagar the cruel (of course if you read the book or saw the first season we know what his real name is) of course I've seen Rocky Horror who hasn't?

I believe Curry had been quite sick for some time now. Still brutal and agree the wrong 80 year olds...

Yet the trumps of the world live on.
