James Avery, American actor, comedian and poet best known as Uncle Phil in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, died from complications following open heart surgery. He was 68.
Edit: My mistake, his death was in 2013.

Bruce McCandless II passed away on December 22.
We've all seen at least this one photo of him:

Should we retire this thread and make a 2018 thread?

I'll leave the thread open for those we learn of well after the fact. But yes, once it is needed, we'll have a new thread.

RIP Bill Lishman, who passed away on December 30.
The movie Fly Away Home was a dramatized version of Bill Lishman's greatest achievement.

And here's another well-after-the-fact notice. Jane Norman, better known to children of a certain generation (like mine) as Pixanne, passed away at her home in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania on May 13, 2017, aged 83.
