Some weeks feel like history itself is saying goodbye. In just a few days, we lost legends whose voices, faces, and art defined entire generations. This week’s tributes include:

Diane Ladd (89) — The beloved actress and mother of Laura Dern, who passed peacefully in her daughter’s arms.

Prunella Scales (93) — The unforgettable Sybil Fawlty of Fawlty Towers, gone after a long battle with dementia.

Björn Andrésen (70) — The “Most Beautiful Boy in the World,” remembered for Death in Venice.

Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay (78) — The soulful voice of the Grateful Dead.

Jack DeJohnette (83) — Jazz legend who turned rhythm into poetry.

Klaus Doldinger (89) — The German composer behind The NeverEnding Story.

Peter Watkins (90) — Rebel filmmaker of The War Game.

Maria Riva (100) — Daughter of Marlene Dietrich and Hollywood storyteller in her own right.

Pierre Robert (70) — The voice of Philadelphia rock radio.

Rabbi Alvin Kass (89) — NYPD’s longest-serving chaplain.

George Atkinson (78) — Raiders champion and advocate for mental health.

Nick Mangold (41) — Beloved NFL center who left too soon.

Tony Adams (84) — Icon of British television’s Crossroads era.

Each name, a chapter. Each life, a legacy. Each echo, remembered.

October 2025 was a month heavy with loss — and this week, the world said goodbye to seventeen unforgettable souls.

From Ace Frehley, the original Spaceman of KISS, to Samantha Eggar, Hollywood’s elegant scream queen… from Daniel Naroditsky, the chess prodigy who made millions fall in love with the game, to Anthony Jackson, the bassist whose groove shaped generations — their stories echo beyond time.

Join Echoes Remembered as we look back at the voices, faces, and hearts we lost this week — and the music, art, and brilliance they leave behind.
