Sean Doyle died in Calgary last month at the age of 85. He was a local teacher and was moonlighting in the summer as a security guard at the downtown Hudson's Bay store in 1985. He nabbed serial killer Charles Ng for shop lifting and a life and death struggle played out when Ng pulled a gun.
Not a celebrity but Doyle was celebrated as a hero and certainly saved lives that day.

Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead passed at 78 (which seems way to young to be a founding member of a mid sixties rock band!!)
From his Wikipedia:
Quote:
On New Year's Eve 1963, 16-year-old Weir and an underage friend were wandering the back alleys of Palo Alto, looking for a club that would admit them, when they heard banjo music. They followed the music to its source, Dana Morgan's Music Store. They encountered a 21-year-old Jerry Garcia, oblivious to the date, waiting for his students to arrive. Weir and Garcia spent the night playing music together and then decided to form a band.
