Subject: Death of 80's people?

Written By: wsmith4 on 02/16/11 at 2:43 pm

Has anyone from the 80's died yet?  I mean, probably not.  But they're probably still alive, right?  If they're not dead.

I know several people that were born in the 1980's. They appear to be very much alive. But you know looks can be deceiving.

If you know your Soccer, you may remember Antonio Puerta.  He was born in 1984.  He collapsed on the field during a match in 2007, and later died in hospital.

The Rev, drummer for Avenged Sevenfold, who died last year.  He was born in 1981

Brad Renfro was born in 1982.  He died in 2008.  Loved him in 'Apt Pupil'

Jonathan Brandis passed away.  He was not a "BIG" star in the 80s, but he did appear in a few films of that time, and did guest spots in many TV shows.

Who are these people you mention?  I don't think anyone from the 80's has died.  Anyone who lived through the 80's is still alive.

The 80s was before 'my time' because I don't remember anything until 1993. Definitely a bygone era in my eyes.

I thought that you remember being 3 which is 1991.

I guess I'm complicating things.

I guess you're right; the first memory EVER of my life I ever had was a month or maybe even 2 months before my 3rd birthday. I was 2 years old! So you're talking about September or October of 1991!

So even if I did remember 1991, the 80s is still a bygone era.

I guess I do remember 1991 and 1992!! If only I was born in 1987 I would've remember ALL 100% of the 90s!
