Subject: Celebrities' Family Members Who Died Tragically

Written By: Indy Gent on 07/30/17 at 1:01 am

Most of these people were too young to die. I'm not including family members who were already celebrities. (Eg.: Even though she was Melissa Rivers' mom, Joan Rivers doesn't count because she was a big celebrity herself. None of the Kennedy's count since the dead ones were pretty famous).

For starters:

Jet Travolta (son of John Travolta
Conor Clapton (son of Eric Clapton)
Bobbi Christina Brown (daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown)
Dana Reeve (wife of Christopher Reeve, a little iffy on her celebrity status)
Son of Bill Cosby who was murdered (forgot his name)
Peaches Geldof (Daughter of Bob Geldof and Paula Yates)
Sage Stallone (son of Sly Stallone)

I remember that; he was trying to change a flat tire on his car. The guy's name was Ennis Cosby.

James R. Jordan, father of basketball great Michael Jordan, in summer 1993. :\'( He pulled over on the highway to rest, since he was feeling tired, but was shot to death by two passersby... but the elder Jordan's body wasn't found until a week later. Ten days after that, on Friday August 13th, the dead man's identity was confirmed.

I forgot about James Jordan. Anyone who didn't like Michael Jordan was a fan of his the day his father died. I believe he still missed him.

I think you're right. I even remember hearing about it, since I frequently listened to sports radio at the time.
