The last living photo of my grandfather, Carl V. Williams Sr, taken in December of 1979. He died February 13, 1980. Never got to meet him, but my parents were close to him. I also have photos of him in his casket that my Mamaw took, but I won't post those.

My mother, Eileen Jane Williams, about a year before she died of a pneumonia-induced stroke (September 7, 1954 - February 3, 2022) enjoying her first grandchild (my nephew).

Her death hit me hard. We were close, and I took care of her in the years before her passing. I wish I had more pictures of her, but she always hated having her picture taken.

Anton Yelchin, 1989-2016

This photo of Anton Yelchin was his last self portrait posted on his Instagram. Three days later on June 19th, 2016, the 27-year-old actor died in a freak car accident outside his home.

Vladimir Lenin, 1870-1924

This is the last known photo of Vladimir Lenin, taken in May, 1923. He had suffered three strokes by this time and was completely mute. He passed away on January 21st, 1924 aged 53. The official cause of death was recorded as an 'incurable disease of the blood vessels,' and while there have been speculations that he had died of complications from syphilis, these rumours are unsubstantiated.

Mao Zedong

On May 27, 1976, the Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto visited Beijing and had a meeting with Chairman Mao Zedong. This turned out to be Mao’s last public appearance and the last known photo of him alive. During the meeting, Mao agreed to provide 50 kg of uranium to Pakistan, jump-starting its nuclear program. The photos from the meeting signaled the end of Mao’s public audiences. It was evident to everyone that his death was imminent. Mao had been a heavy smoker for most of his adult life. Because of this, it became a state secret that he suffered from multiple lung and heart ailments. He may have had Parkinson’s disease in addition to Lou Gehrig’s disease. Mao suffered three major heart attacks, which rendered him an invalid. He passed away nearly four days later, on September 9, 1976, at the age of 82
