Rest In Peace Leonard Nimoy 1931 – 2015

Posted on February 27, 2015 at 12:49 pm by Joe Moore under Star Trek Toy News

I’m going to break from my normal toy reporting to share the heartbreaking news that is being reported all over. Leonard Nimoy, best known as Mr. Spock on Star Trek, has passed away at the age of 83. He died from complications related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, also known as COPD. As a long time fan of both the Star Trek and the Transformers franchise (he was the voice of Galvatron in the 1986 film), this news has hit me harder than I expected.Every interview I have ever seen with him showed a man who was grateful and humble for the success he had.

I leave you with this quote from the Wrath of Khan, a quote that everyone is sharing and one that everyone is spreading, and I hope they continue to spread:

“We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And yet it should be noted that in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most… human.”

    Rest in peace Mr. Nimoy. You honored us with your talent, your humbleness and your humanity.

    It's completely surreal. I'm not often moved by the passing of celebrities, but as a member of a family that lived, ate and breathed Star Trek, I can't help but be blown away.

    Nimoy's many memorable quotes were daily said around here, and he's just one of those people that you felt like would be around forever. Thanks for posting this,I'll miss him greatly. Live long and prosper.

    Mr. Nimoy was a class act. Fellow Trek enthusiasts might be interested in reading more about his accomplishments: Leonard Nimoy Wiki

    His final Tweet, posted a few days ago:

    A life is like a garden.
    Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory.
    Live Long And Prosper.

    A truely sad day for everyone who wanted to "Boldly go where no man had gone before." I think this one man meant so much to so many. Most of us know him as Mr. Spock from the Original Star Trek series or Ambassador Spock on The Next Generation. I think in Star Trek: Wrath of Kahn it was said best "Of all the souls I have encountered on my travels, His truely was the Most Human."

    The Long Beach Comic Expo had a moment of silence for Leonard Nimoy today.
