* On their album "Anchors Aweigh" The Bouncing Souls had "Todd's Song", in which they sang: [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|“I grab into my sixpack and raise a can to another fallen friend...With a heart so big that you can't hide you took the path of a slow suicide. And all those feelings that you had, they killed you from the inside...I can't say that I don't understand. I know you tried. I'll see you when we all come home.”]]
* The [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]] have two songs, Knock Me Down (Mother's Milk) and My Lovely Man (Blood Sugar Sex Magic), that are tributes to their former guitarist Hillel Slovak, who died of a heroin overdose.
* The lyrics for "Into the West," from ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]: The Return of the King,'' were inspired by aspiring filmmaker and director Cameron Duncan, who had become friends with Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh and filmed an organ donation commercial for them. When the song received the Golden Globe for Best Original Song, Walsh dedicated the award to him; Duncan died of cancer at the age of 17, and some of his work can be seen on the extended editions of the LOTR DVDs.

For [[Owen Hart]], [[Eddie Guerrero]] and [[Chris Benoit]] they had full two-hour [[Kayfabe]] breaking tributes.
** After Road Warrior Hawk's death, the Dudley Boys won a tag match with the Road Warriors' old finishing move as a tribute. I think JR even finished calling the match with "God bless you, Hawk!".
** After Yokozuna's death, The Undertaker wore a Yokozuna shirt during the match. They were best friends in real life.
