Mike Evans shocked me the most. I mean I know people die. But I wasn't expecting him to die when he did. He was too young.

ThomasE · 12-10-2008, 06:21 PM

Mike Evans came in a close second but for me, Isabel's came in a settled first place. Wow! I did not expect it when it happened. I knew she was older but you just don't expect some things and then you are blindsided all of the sudden. I know I was.

TripperFan · 12-10-2008, 06:31 PM

For sure it was Mike Evans' death. 57 was WAY to young.

ftroopfan · 12-11-2008, 02:29 PM

I had a hard time believing Mike Evans dying at 57, whom I voted for on the poll, but the recent death of Paul Benedict is coming in a close second. The reason being I hadn't heard anything about him being ill. The same thing was with Mike Evans. He always looked so healthy. Well any way, part of life is death, so RIP to all these talented and wonderful performers.

Mike Evans, then Roxie Roker.

They all did in their own way. But I would have to say Mike Evans and Roxie Roker, simply because I wasn't aware of either of them being sick. I found of about Roxie in the papers, I turned the page and read the article of her passing. Mike Evans, we haven't seen or heard from him in years, and I wanted to see what he looked like before he passed. Again, like many others on here said, he was too young.

Mike Evans was a shocker since he was young.

Tap Dancer · 07-12-2010, 02:07 PM

Mike Evans. As others have said: because he was so young.

I loved him; he was awesome!

Johnny be good! · 08-15-2010, 07:38 AM

Mike Evans big time. He was way too young and still had much to look forward to.

BigManMike · 07-26-2012, 10:56 AM

I guess we have to add Sherman Hemsley to this list now. His death was really shocking to me. I nearly jumped out of my skin when I read that he had died the other night. But I guess it was surprising that Mike Evans died young too.
