Orthodoc, the actor who played Grizzly Adams recently died of spinal cancer (OWWWWW!!!!) so maybe an actor/actress list would suit? My other suggestion is look up major scientific achievers--Buzz Aldrin just turned 86...
And, while it happened a LONG time ago, I know of one man who left a HUGE mark on our space program who died in 1997--the unfortunate prodigal rocket scientist whose failure to use the Shift key correctly sent the Mars radar-mapping probe millions of miles off course. When I knew him he was the single most bitter human being I'd ever met, along with being smart enough to read Scientific American cover to cover. I know these things because my mom was fairly briefly married to him!
