January 4, 2015: Stuart Scott, a longtime anchor on ESPN, has died of cancer. Originally diagnosed in 2007, the sports broadcasting pioneer battled the disease through chemotherapy and surgeries and never stopped pursuing his work in the interim.

A fixture on ESPN's signature sports reporting program SportsCenter, Scott is remembered as being outspoken, effervescent, and a veritable soundboard of catchphrases (like "cool as the other side of the pillow" and "booyah!") that highlighted and defined his career in front of the camera. The winner of the Jimmy V Perseverance ESPY Award was 49. He leaves behind two daughters, Taelor, 19, and Sydni, 15.
