Josef the Lion from Wild Things passed away yesterday.
The model for Adult Simba/Mufasa in Lion King, the lion in the Cadbury cream egg commercial, one of the lions used for the MGM logo, amongst other things.

But most importantly for me, he was my 'neighbor' that I could sometimes hear roaring in the morning from my house.
Although I only saw him twice when I was in the first few grades of elementary school, I consider him to have been an awesome part of my childhood.
He was my absolute favorite big cat in the world and one of my biggest dreams was to meet him again and get a chance to pet him.
Rest in peace, Josef.
