A giant has fallen.

 

[Clayton]

Well that sucks, though not totally unexpected. He's been having health problems for a while.

 

[Livgardist]

Well, shit.

 

[Rom]

We lost a great man today. RIP

A great humanitarian has departed, but his dream lives on. Rip Mandela

 

[Interfector]

Humanity has lost one of its greatest to walk the Earth today. He changed a nation and its people through perseverance, but now Mister Mandela can rest in peace, knowing he accomplished his goals.

 

[Cortan]

...We all knew it was coming. Just... not today.

RIP Mandela. You earned it.

Glad it was peaceful.

My heart goes out to Nelson Mandela's family and his nation. The Earth has lost one of its noblest souls.

" Mandela was not some safe, muppety "civil rights activist." He was a "loving revolutionary" and "officially a 'terrorist' according to the U.S. government until long after" he'd been freed and was touring the world as a hero"

 

[Ben]

Rest in piece.

 

[Hannah]

May he rest in peace.

Finally, someone died this year whose death actually tugs on my heartstrings. This is a terrible loss for the world; he left a legacy that many people will look to for inspiration for years to come. I felt my heart sink when I read the Reuters notice on my phone while in a class.

The world has lost a good man today, the type of man we need more of. Rest in peace.

Rest in Peace to a man I never heard of until this. Always sad someone well loved and respected dies though, but 95 years old... damn. Though slowly I've been getting the mindset that if someone passes on when they are roughly around this age, or near the end of their life, it's good to rejoice that they've had such a long and good life that effected so many others.

You should really look into his story if you've never heard of him. He was a remarkable person.

RIP
