We said goodbye to so many icons and heroes last year, and it certainly wasn't easy. And again this year, we've bid farewell to other celebrities who have touched our lives. On New Year's Day of 2021, singer and actor George Gerdes died after suffering a brain aneurysm and on New Year's Eve, Golden Girls star Betty White passed away at age 99. Additionally, we lost author bell hooks, fashion designer Virgil Abloh, television legend Michael K. Williams, Harry Potter star Helen McCrory, The Parent 'Hood's Suzzanne Douglas, actor and director Robert Downey Sr., and more. Ahead, we're paying our respects to all the stars who have passed away in 2021.
