Michael Nesmith “passed away this morning in his home, surrounded by family, peacefully and of natural causes,” his family told Rolling Stone in a statement. He died just 20 days before his 79th birthday.

In 1963, the guitarist and singer began his recording career. However, three years later, he earned his greatest success with the made for TV band The Monkees that actually became a real one. One that continued touring on and off again up until last month. He and the now last surviving member Micky Dolenz played their planned final show in LA.

Nesmith led The Monkees to fight the producers so that they could create their own music and be considered a real band and not a fake one. It worked, but it was also the downfall for the show that had turned them into International stars overnight. They became almost as popular as another band at the time called The Beatles. The latter band were fans of the group’s music.

After the band parted ways in 1970, he went on to create his own music. He also dabbled as a film and TV producer with hits like Repo Man and PpoClips. The latter earned him a Grammy.

Today, let’s remember him by singing our favorite Monkees song. We all have one.

Nesmith is survived by his four children.

Eddie Mekka passed away on Saturday at the age of 69, according to his Facebook page.

Mekka was best known for playing the triple threat Carmine Ragusa on Laverne & Shirley throughout the sitcom’s entire run. Along with starring in that program, he also memorable parts in A League of the Their Own, Dreamgirls, and ER, to name a few of his many roles.

He is survived by his daughter, Mia.

Dean Stockwell passed away on Sunday from natural causes at the age of 85, according to KABC’s George Pennacchio.

Stockwell started acting in 1945 and didn’t stop until 2015. However, his greatest roles came later in life, both on TV and in the movies.

In 1989, he landed the role of Al in Quantum Leap. It is the role he is most known and loved for. Also, around that time, he starred in Blue Velvet and Married to the Mob, the latter earning him an Oscar nomination.

No matter what he was in, he stood out. So today, let’s remember him as the amazing actor he was in one of his many projects.

He is survived by two children Austin and Sophia Stockwell.

James Michael Tyler passed away today at the age of 59 from prostate cancer, according to KABC’s George Pennacchio.
Tyler is best known for playing Gunther, the manager of Central Perk, who was in love with Rachel on Friends. He started out as a background player and became a series regular for the show’s run. The decision was an easy one because he won our hearts so easily.

Back in June, the actor revealed that he had prostate cancer that spread throughout his body, and he did not have much time left. But he wanted to make an impact with the time he had left. So he asked every man to go to their doctors and get their PSA levels checked. Prostate cancer is highly curable if it is caught early. Sadly for Tyler, it was not caught early.

So today, let’s raise a coffee mug to him and watch him serve up the laughs to his Friends.

Peter Scolari passed away today at the age of 66 after a 2-year battle with cancer, according to KABC’s George Pennacchio.

The actor was best known for playing Henry Desmond/Hildegarde Desmond on Bosom Buddies in the early ’80s. While that is how that decade started, it ended with him starring Newhart.

He continued to act up this year. He had starring roles in Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Girls, and most recently in Evil.

Some of the things that made him so remarkable were his comedic timing and physical comedy. Together, he and Tom Hanks played so well off of each other that we are still talking about their sitcom 40 years later. Even though it only lasted two seasons.

Today, let’s remember and laugh with him. It is something that is very easy to do.

Scolari is survived by his fourth wife, Tracy Shayne, and four children Nicholas, Joseph, Keaton, and Cali.
