On July 20, 1958, Billy Mays was born in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania. He grew up, and graduated in 1977 from Sto-Rox High School. He picked a career as a salesman. The first thing he did, was that he sold washing devices that were portable to people walking by at Atlantic City. Later on in his career, he started working with other salesmen. He started going across the country, selling many different products. As he got more and more famous, he sold products from Oxi Clean to Mighty Putty. But sadly and suddenly, Mays was found dead on June 28, 2009 in Tampa, Florida.

We'll always remember knowing when Billy Mays was on commercials, because we'd hear his loud voice on the TV.

But he was more than a man with a booming voice...

Rest in peace, Billy Mays.

R.I.P. Billy Mays. I'll never forget your signature marketing technique. We'll always remember you. My condolences go out to his family. May he rest in peace.

Billy Mays was absolutely my favorite 'famous person'. Just everything he did made me smile.

I have to go cry in a corner now.

 

[Noobicidal]

The worst part is that his death will be overshadowed by "important" people.

And I just started watching Pitchmen too...

 

[Denzi]

WHY?????

Seriously, this sucks.

He was to awesome to deserve death.

 

[Maniclysane]

I bet Vince from Slap-chop or Shamwow was behind this.

Not funny.

 

[highfive]

It's too early to make jokes, but of course this is the internet. Billy Mays was pretty much a funny guy to watch sell whatever he was trying to sell. May his soul rest in peace.

I saw this thread
and saw that it said Falcon just posted in it



I can imagine how hard hes crying
(I haven't read his post yet btw, this is just an assumption)




Edit:
^_^
Yupz

 

[Heartz♥]

I only knew him as the Oxi-Clean commercial actor, and I didn't even know he was a celebrity. I loved his voice in the commercials.

 

[highfive]

How did he pass?

 

[Tacel]

How did he pass?

I'm pretty sure that the cause of death is, so far, unknown.

 

[Blade1844]

Why are so many people DYING!?!?!?!?!??

 

[MidnightAsaph]

God dammit. What the ****? Why are all these guys dying? It's depressing. I don't want to eat chocolate, but it seems that I must. *diets on cookies*

 

[Sosuke]

It happens. D:

 

[Falconv1.0]

Well, lots of people are looking at the air port about it. He was on a plane and he said stuff hit him on the head on a rough landing, they said he wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

If it was in any way their fault I think we can expect someone is gonna get paid.

WTF, first MJ now freakin Billy mays ;_;
R.I.P Billy

 

[REL38]

Noooooo!

NOT BILLY MAYS!!!!

He was one of the few cool famous people that seemed like a normal guy if you crossed him on the street.

He will be missed, dearly. T_T

 

[Indigo Jeans]

Well, that's how life goes, young ones. Life isn't fair; after all, it kills you.

 

[Fatmanonice]

I guess we just lost the Ron Popeil of our generation... He seemed like a decent guy with a such an upbeat personality that it was actually funny. He will be missed.

 

[OutlawStar]

This is so sad. Michael, and now Billy. Both at age 50...Both unexpectedly.

 

[Blade1844]

Ed McMahon -> Farrah Fawcett -> Michael Jackson -> Billy Mays all in one month.

 

[Syde7]

This proves it.

Vince > Billy Mays

Also, R.I.P. 50 is such a young age, tbh. Sad.

 

[JustKindaBoredUKno]

so much for all deaths coming in 3's

its too bad.

I told my friend, and he said "so what? what has he done for us?"
"Sit down and think about it. Would you rather hang out with an old farrah fawcett, MJ, or Billy freakin' Mays?"
"wow... the world has lost quite a bro."

R.I.P Billy Mays

Hehe, I think he was being sarcastic.

I just found out yesterday John Candy is also dead...

 

[D.B.K.]

R.I.P Oxiclean guy...

 

[Barge]

I loved how he practically yelled at the camera.
Ill miss him

 

[Blitzmidfielder]

Actually, the first thing I did was make a joke. I think it's how I deal with things nowadays.

Regardless, this is depressing. He was really funny. I heard his house was broken into.

 

[Falconv1.0]

I heard his house was broken into.

"According to cops, there are no signs of forced entry to the residence and no foul play is suspected. Billy's wife Deborah told investigators Billy wasn't feeling well last night."

Of course you did.

 

[Chaco]

I actually heard he died of a heart attack. I'm not sure if this is true, but it's what I heard earlier today. While I was half asleep. Seeing as how I just woke up, I'm not entirely sure if I heard right.

 

[Fatmanonice]

Hehe, I think he was being sarcastic.

I just found out yesterday John Candy is also dead...

John Candy has been dead for 15 years...

 

[Sci]

oh well, it's a shame since I really enjoyed his commercials and I did like "Pitchmen". R.I.P Billy Mays

 

[Chaco]

I do wonder what will become of that show.

 

[황미영]

Possibly instead of making us wait just spoil everything in the show? Me and my brother were discussing this after we found out.

 

[Falconv1.0]

John Candy has been dead for 15 years...

I lol'd. Hard.

Hey guys, stop bringing up other people dying this month, believe or not, lots of ****ing people populate this Earth, and a lot of them live in America, so um, there's a lot of deaths every month. Stop linking them together like it's some magical tragedy.

 

[Chaco]

They die in 3s.
