Relatives and relative strangers. A vicious virus united us with a prevailing sense of loss. It got to the point when we cringed every time the phone rang or we turned on the television, fearing that there would be news of yet another person passing away. This year has seen the deaths of legends and loved ones alike. Many across the country, and close to home, were claimed by COVID-19, while others succumbed to the ravages of illness or time. Others were children who barely had time to make their marks in this world.
As a rough year ends, The Sacramento OBSERVER takes a minute to reflect and acknowledge some of the many Blacks who died in 2020. They are gone, but not forgotten.

A Tennessee high school football coach and teacher, 55-year-old David Picklesimer, died of COVID-19 on Sunday, becoming the latest of hundreds of educators that have died from the virus across the US. Picklesimer taught digital arts and design at Siegel High School in Murfreesboro, in Rutherford County.
