Remembering Lives Lost CELEBRATING CELEBRITY ICONS AND LOVED ONES WHO PASSED IN 2021

As we finish our second year in a pandemic, no one is a stranger to loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who is mourning a loved one. As Maya Angelou famously said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” This month, we want to remember the feelings that are associated with some of our greatest public losses in 2021. As you grieve for your loved ones, we hope the legacies of these stars remind you that it’s the lessons people show us that are worth cherishing. FOLLOWYOUR HEART — HENRY LOUIS “HANK” AARON Passing away at the beginning of 2021, Hammerin’ Hank taught us to stand up for what you believe in. When Aaron made his first appearance for the Milwaukee Braves in 1954, he set about a course of excellence

and activism, fending off racial slurs en route to a World Series Championship. Aaron would go on to shatter Babe Ruth’s 33-year home run record, break batting records, and win several MLB seasonal awards. Hammerin’ Hank’s legacy both on and off the field are a testament to hard work, patience, and grit. LAUGH MORE — BETTYWHITE For nearly seven decades, BettyWhite entertained audiences on TV, in movies, and on the radio. Her palpable energy, snarky sense of humor, and lovable characters were among the many traits she became known for as her career progressed — and boy did it! White was honored by the Guinness World Record books in 2018 for being the person who has worked in television the longest. When she passed on Dec. 31, 2021, at the age of 99, the world mourned the loss of the woman who taught us to not take life so seriously.

TEACH OTHERS — JOHN MADDEN On Dec. 28, 2021, legendary National Football League (NFL) coach and broadcaster John Madden passed away at age 85. Madden led the then- Oakland Raiders to its first Super Bowl championship and never had a losing season as a coach. But after retiring, the desire to teach football still lingered. Madden began calling broadcast games in a way that had never been done before: by teaching America how to play football. Madden is now synonymous with football, with his video game, Madden NFL, and vibrant game-calling forever changing the game — just by teaching.
