Leonard Marsh, the co-founder of Snapple, has passed away. He was 80 years old.

Leonard started Snapple in 1972 as 'Unadulterated Food Products,' and sold natural fruit juices to health food stores. He was a window washer before he became the CEO at the launch of the brand name in 1980.

They were super popular, super fast! Quaker Oats Co. bought Snapple for $1.7 billion in 1994, and Leonard stayed on for several years after as executive vice president for planning. Here's what his company has to say:

"We're saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. Marsh. He, along with his partners Arnold Greenberg and Hyman Golden, brought the best stuff on Earth to the masses. Today we tip our Snapple cap in his honor.”

He was the last of the three founders to pass away, and we hope he's enjoying an ice cold Snapple wherever he is!

Richard Swanson had a goal, and that goal was to dribble a soccer ball from Seattle all the way to Brazil, and do it in time for the 2014 World Cup! Easy, right? Just do a little bit at a time?

Maybe that should have been the case, but we're sad to report that Richard has died after being struck by a pickup truck while walking south on the Highway 101 in Oregon. The 10,000 mile trip had basically just begun — just on May 1st.

Renowned psychologist and counselor Dr. Joyce Brothers died!!

Her cause of death hasn't yet been made public, but the popular psychologist's daughter confirmed she passed away today in her New Jersey home!

From TV to books to advice columns, Dr. Joyce was a pioneer in her field and she will be sorely missed!!

Dr. Phil even cites her as one of his professional inspirations. He said:

"I was a very big fan of hers. I started studying psychology back in 1968 or 1969 and she was a very present force at that time."

Such a sad piece of news we have to share with you all.

The Olympic sailor Andrew Simpson has died, drowning after his America's Cup boat capsized.

He won an Olympic gold medal in sailing in 2008 and a silver at last year's games. This year he absolutely jumped at the chance to win yachting's top prize – the America's Cup.

He drowned when the high-tech catamaran capsized and trapped him under water for more than 10 minutes — and it was only a practice run. Sadly, he has a wife and an infant child.

We offer our condolences, and hope that his friends and family can get through this! Our hearts go out to you all!

Being a ref is dangerous, especially when you have to deal with the scorn of slighted players and their fans — we just didn't think it was THIS dangerous!

A soccer ref from Utah named Ricardo Portillo has died after sustaining injuries from being punched in the face by a player. He had just issued the player a yellow card and was writing it down in his notebook when he was hit right in the face.

Immediately Ricardo sat down, started vomiting blood, and was taken to the hospital. That's where his condition worsened and he eventually passed away from the injury.
