Celebrity Deaths in 2025
The year 2025 saw its share of celebrity deaths. Now it's time to pay one more tribute to those celebrities who began the year at ground level, but ended it six feet below. From January until March each year, I post a detailed list of the celebrities who died the previous year. For the rest of the year, you can still see a list of names.

Also now available - a list of celebrities who have died in 2026.

OK, here we go...
Every month in 2025 claimed somebody. This list is by no means comprehensive, but I've included the deaths that caught my attention. If you have an addition or correction to make to this list, please let me know using this form.
