8. “Pigpen” McKernan

Ronald “Pigpen” McKernan was one of the founding members of the Grateful Dead. Unfortunately, a life of alcohol abuse ended the pianist’s life in 1973.

At his funeral, Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia said, “After Pigpen’s death we all knew this was the end of the original Grateful Dead.”
