Tony Todd aka Kurn and Patti Yasutake aka Nurse Ogawa from TNG will both be missed dearly

The one that hurts me on a personal level is Tony Todd... Some years ago I mentioned on twitter to the few people that followed me then that I was going to take some time off to recover from a major operation - alone and recovering from it in great pain I saw I had a DM. I opened it to see Tony Todd himself had messaged me, wanted to know how I was doing and asked for my address so he could send an autograph picture. Through the several weeks of painful recovery, he kept me going with the occasional joke, memories of working on trek productions (even Axanar!) and was a real friend. We met just the once in London because I had often joked that for what he did, I'd buy him a beer... For the rest of my days, I will remember the two of us sitting in the bar at the Hilton drinking and singing the Klingon Drinking Song

When he died, for some reason, I looked up at the sky and howled to let the heavens known Captain Kurn was on his way

Tony Todd's performance as adult Jake Sisko brought tears to my eyes.

Losing Tony Todd still hurts.

I loved  Patti Yasutake's Nurse Ogawa, she was one of my favorites and she owned the screen whenever she was on it, gone to soon

We lost some serious talent this year.  Rest in peace.

I had no idea about Obi Ndefo. I loved his work on Stargate. RIP

As with all these memorials, I'm left crying, especially for those who died far too young. But I am very grateful to you for doing this video, and as ever, treating everyone's memory with respect and dignity.
RIP to all of "the Star Trek family".

RIP Patty Yasutake, OG lower decker!

I had no idea Tracy Torme died. In addition to his work on Trek, he also created Sliders.

The Star Trek cast feels like family to me; I will never forget them.

A very classy tribute Sean.. you are a class act. Thank you.

As a mid Septuagenarian now I have loved this franchise since the mid sixties. I have been lucky enough to meet some of the fine actors that inspired me as a youngster. The main one being James Doohan, years ago I was a dealer at the SF conventions in Canada, for some reason the convention organizers wanted me to be in a press conference with some of the star guests at the Con. I find myself backstage with James Doohan and two of the actors from the the Uk Robin Hood. They say you should never meet your heroes, But two hours backstage with James was fantastic, he was amassed that watching him as a youngster had moved me towards a carrier as a control and automation technician, plus a seller of Sc-iFi toys and models :o) Thank you James.

I have a sudden urge to watch “Lower Decks” after this. Rest in peace Patti Yasutake. And to all who have gone before.

The list I dread every year.

Thank you for a touching tribute, Sean. My Father passed away in 2024. He took me to the very first movie I remember seeing Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan and I have been a Star Trek Fan ever since growing up on TOS, the Movies and TNG.  "time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, reminds us to cherish every moment, because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we lived."

The charecter Gary played in Alien Nation was MATT Sykes. Js...

RIP Patti. Nurse Ogawa. A legend that has been lost. Still hurts to this day.

Tony Todd was also the captain of the Victory in the Babylon 5 movie "A Call To Arms".

I was a bit shocked as to how many we've lost this year, with too many lost at a young age.

My mom apparently knew James Darren. When she was a baby, her mom and his mom were friends, and he used to push around her stroller. She obviously didn't remember it, but when he started to get popular, her mom told her about it.
