There are no details for some of those in this list. In most of these cases, information about a classmate’s demise was deduced through "returned to sender" mail or other “second-hand” news. Here's hoping that there won't be more additions to this list for a long, looooooong time!

Here rest their heads upon the lap of Earth
All Youths to Fortune and to Fame unknown.
Fair Science frown'd not on their humble birth,
And Melancholy mark'd them for her own.
Large was their bounty, and their souls sincere,
Heav'n did a recompense as largely send:
They gave to Mis'ry all they had, their tears,
And gain'd from Heav'n ('twas all they wish'd)
Their UP High School classmates!
[From the EPITAPH by Thomas Gray which we learned in English class.]
