1. Singer Christina Grimmie: June 11th, 2016
In 2014, the singer made it to third place in the NBC show The Voice. Music Industry executives were so convinced about her star power that prior to the completion of the contest, she had received several offers that were not contingent on where she finished in the competition. She eventually signed with Island Records. After a performance at Plaza Live Orlando theater in Florida, the singer conducted a meet and greet with fans when Kevin James Loibl (aged 27) shot and killed the singer in front of her loyal followers. Her brother Marcus, tackled the killer. Instead of escaping, the murderer shot and killed himself. The young singer was only 22 years old. In the end, the killer’s friend confessed to police that Kevin was an obsessed fan who believed that he was meant to be together with the singer, and he had a plan that just might do the trick. Of course, no one knew what that plan was.
Her husband Bud Grimmie had a ”Giant Hole” in his heart nevertheless, maintaining his strength because: “God showed me that he’s way bigger than that hole,” said Bud. Adding: ”The three things that keep me walking upright — otherwise I would just be a crumpled-up mess in the corner — are that: I know I’m going to see her again … she’s way better off now, she’s more alive now that she’s ever been, she’s not going to be hurt anymore, and … this is where I’m wrestling … God’s plan is better than my plan.”
