I'm going to sound like a Mel Brooks commentary track for a second:

John Candy as Barg - Such a lovely man, shame he's dead.

John Hurt from Alien - Wonderful actor, he's dead.

Joan Rivers as Dot Matrix - Shame she's dead.

Dom DeLuise as the voice of Pizza the Hutt - I loved that man, he's dead.

Dick Van Patten as King Roland - He's dead.

Ronny Graham as the minister - And he's dead.

Spaceballs 2: Rise of the Space Zombies

And if we are lucky we'll all each reach a point in our lives where most everyone we ever knew is dead and we're there just.. hanging on.

Sometimes I think about the perspective of my 80 year old neighbors. Every day could be their last. I suppose the world would be a better place if everyone of all ages realized how fragile and fleeting this life is.

Every day could be anyone reading this final day. If you didn't read my comment you're safe though.

I may be trouble.

My grandma is 101 now and it's crazy the life she must be living. All her friends are dead. Her husband died 45yrs ago. Her siblings are all dead. She's essentially outlived any peer she's ever had, which is depressing to think about

What I'm trying to say is, depends on what you consider lucky

Not if I die first.

Mel Brooks himself:

Some fucking how, not dead.
