Yes, he will definitely be missed. I know no one is immortal but it sure hits hard when one of our icons pass. RIP Don

Don't quite understand why at 75 years old someone would commit suicide................Nonetheless, he will be missed.

Depression is my guess. Apparantly, he did have some health issues.

Coroner rules Don Cornelius death a suicide

By the CNN Wire Staff updated 5:28 AM EST, Wed February 8, 2012

Don Cornelius, shown here at the 2009 BET Awards in Los Angeles, was died of a self-inflicted gun shot wound.

Note the grammar below his picture. "was died"? C'mon, really?! And this was taken from CNN on-line. Jeez. America's educational system is definitely in the toilet waiting to be flushed.
