I was learning from Google's search results that Stephen Hillenburg, the guy who created Mackenzie and Keith Jr's favorite show SpongeBob SquarePants, had died of Lou Gehrig's Disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) at 57 years old. It was a sad situation less than a month before Christmas 2018!
SpongeBob continues to be on the air even after Stephen's death, so life goes on!
May God bless Stephen!
