Page 9 has a fuller list.

And I think I did an even more updated list later on, but I didn’t look for it. I’m thinking it was around page 30.

Orson Bean was 91 and got run over whilst jaywalking.

I knew his name sounded familiar, but didn’t know where, so I imdb’d him. He was the voice of Bilbo or Frodo or both in the animated Hobbit movies from the 70’s.

Don’t jaywalk people!

Country musician Joe Diffie, of COVID-19.

I'm not a fan, but even I know the guy.

Sadly, this thread could see a lot of posts in the near future.

“Third Rock From The Sun” was probably his biggest hit. I’m pretty sure I bought a couple of his CDs when I was in my country phase back in the mid-90s.

The guy that played the douche fiancé in Crocodile Dundee also died recently from Covid19.

Alan Merrill of the Arrows. You probably never heard of him, but Joan Jett made "I Love Rock & Roll" one of the biggest songs of ever. Also COVID-19.

Not a huge celebrity, but COVID-19 has claimed its first (so far as I know) Star Wars actor. Andrew Jack played background character Commander Emmatt in the Sequel Trilogy and voiced Moloch in Solo. He was actually better known as a dialect coach and had some impressive titles on his resume (like the Lord of the Rings movies).
