The Stiffs for 2025

For the 31st year running, we present our fondest farewells to the recently departed.

If they were on any lists — or if they mattered at all in the world — you'll find them here.

If you're looking for everybody, then you need to head on over to the Directory.

Hulk Hogan · 71

August 11th, 1953 - July 24th, 2025

This guy was dumb for a WRESTLER. Think about that.

Ozzy Osbourne · 76

December 3rd, 1948 - July 22nd, 2025

The Prince of Darkerness.

Michael Madsen · 67

September 25th, 1957 - July 3rd, 2025

His best role: Free Willy. No question.

Brian Wilson · 82

June 20th, 1942 - June 11th, 2025

Rhonda? Hello?

Sly Stone · 82

March 15th, 1943 - June 9th, 2025

Say what you want, but with a lifetime of drug problems, and SEVEN paragraphs under "Personal Problems" in Wikipedia, the guy knew how to be a rockstar.

Jim Marshall · 87

December 30th, 1937 - June 3rd, 2025

He really got things turned around.

No longer your huckleberry.

Gene Hackman · 95

January 30th, 1930 - February 17th, 2025

This dude's body of work was massive, so a funny obit should be easy. But we are STILL trying to figure out what happened to him in that mud room.
