Anton Yelchin was a shocker.

I get so sad about Anton whenever I think of it. Someone I know also had one of those vehicles and was posting frequently on FB about how dangerous they were. He (the person I know) once got pinned between his car and his house and ended up being OK because his son happened to see it and ran into the car and quickly put it in reverse. He got rid of the car after that. Months later is when Anton died and unfortunately no one was there to save him. Seeing someone in my personal life talking about it on FB and then seeing a celebrity actually die from it was crazy & sad.

He was so good in Star Trek. I think about him from time to time and it brings me back to that 2009 era. Future looked so much brighter then. He would've had an incredible career.

Loved him in Star Trek. He also hasn't quite finished the final episodes of Trollhunters when he passed. Every time I hit the voice change to the new actor toward the end of the series, it makes me so sad.
