15 celebrities who died too soon

6. Marvin Gaye. The voice of Marvin Gaye, which is immortalized on the many hit records that he released during his lifetime, is a national treasure. Some may know him for “Sexual Healing”, while others may know him for “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” or “Let’s Get It On”. Even as he moved into middle age, it still seemed like he had so much more to offer the world. That’s why it was such a shock when his own father shot him to death in 1984. He died at the age of 44.
