Jiraiya from Naruto Shippuden. Felt like my own family member passed when they killed him off.
Edit: Also, Sergeant Johnson in Halo 3.

2B from Nier: Automata...
The Tali/Legion decision is brutal if you made mistakes in ME2 and 3.
Carter from Person of Interest.
The Paragon interrupt not being enough to save anyone if you side with Legion just makes it hurt more.
The 10th Doctor.
I don't want to go...
Dexter: when his wife gets killed and they pan over to that shot of her in the bathtub i literally threw my mouse against the wall.
I'm watching Outlander for the first time, just finished the first season and I can't fucking wait for Jonathan Randall to die (if he does). I haven't hated a character this much since Joffrey in GoT, and I feel even he wasn't as bad as Jonathan Randall. Tobias Menzies is seriously great at playing psychotic, disgusting and pathetic characters.

I've kept this vague, but still, SPOILERS ahead for The First Law series by Joe Abercrombie. SPOILERS. I'll see if I can get the damn spoiler tag working, but SPOILERS.
EDIT: No dice, I can't seem to get the spoiler tag working on Interstellar.
At the very end of the ninth and final book of the First Law series by Joe Abercrombie, your favorite character (possibly just of the series, but they might be your favorite fictional character ever) that you've spent three books getting to know and love and cherish is fucking executed in front of people they love and then you find out that execution was orchestrated by the second best character in the entire nine book series. It felt like my heart was being ripped up and I fukken wept like a small child. My partner was angry and depressed for months because this character stood for so much that was good and hopeful and then they just fucking died in such a horrible way. Joe Abercrombie is a fucking amazing writer for being able to elicit an emotional response like that and he's a bastard for doing so. The moment is totally earned and I'd highly recommend the books. Just make sure you're in a good place emotionally before you start the last one.

Terminator 2, when Arnold goes down in the magma
I think, due to lack of diagnosis and medication, plus age - I was barely double digits - Aeris/Aerith in FF7.
I had no spoilers. And it wasn't so much the death itself, it was the fact that I had fucking FARMED shit for her. She's healer coded? I already had a history with RPGs, and healers are worth their weight in gold.
I think all that time and effort invested really solidified it.
Also, I had phoenix downs. WTF?
The 'dead' status is more properly 'unconscious' in Final Fantasy games, and is sometimes actually translated that way. FF5 even has a scene where they try using phoenix downs on a genuinely dead character and it doesn't work.
Richard Harrow in Boardwalk Empire. The episode was amazing and the send-off was beautifully written but, boy, was it sad.
Athelstan from Vikings.
Ka'Dargo in "Farscape Peacekeeper War". They were on their way for Moya to pick them up. The worst of the fighting was over and BAM.
At least he went out as a warrior.
Spoiler
Dante from Clerks III
I really resonated with the character and how everything is others peoples fault and he rarely bothered to sort his own life out. Feels just like me! 😆 So their death in this film really struck a chord with me and I was in floods of tears.
He wasn't even supposed to be there.
Stone Fox by John Reynolds Gardiner

the dog Searchlight dies in the end, and it fucking killed me as a child when I read this
Rita Morgan.
That episode was NOT OK.
I was not ok for about a week.
The Land Before Time - Littlefoot’s mother
I was not prepared
Not my most, but also not already in the thread:
Duella's in BSG.
