Steve Mizerak also died a couple months ago. He's the pool legend most famous for his Miller Lite ads with Rodney Dangerfield, Bubba Smith and company. Remember the one he makes a trick shot and says, "You can really work up a thirst even when you're just showing off"?
Wildlife warrior Steve Irwin was a daredevil who loved flirting with danger around deadly animals.
But after years of close shaves it was a normally harmless stingray which finally claimed his life on Monday, plunging a barb into the Crocodile Hunter's chest as he snorkelled in shallow water on the Great Barrier Reef.
