Why do we only ever make celebrity death stand out? What about the average person? Why is it that they can't get a mention when they pass. They were important to someone weren't they?
"One" being the operative word in your post.
Celebrities by their nature mean something to a vast proportion of people. Hopefully something meaningfull like creating a great work of art.
If George Lucas died I'd care... if his brother died, I wouldn't really give a toss (Harsh but the truth) because his life had no meaning for me or anyone else beyond his immediate family. Just as Lucas (Or his possibly imaginary brother) wouldn't give a toss if I died.
