Today marks the one-year anniversary of the passing of Leonard Nimoy, the Star Trek actor, author, and musician. He passed away about a year after being diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which ultimately led to his death. Nimoy played Mr. Spock on the original Star Trek series. He would later portray the character in six Star Trek films that ran throughout the seventies and eighties. After his passing, Nimoy was remembered by friends, fans, collaborators, heads of state, and more. According to ComicBook.com, a monument bearing his likeness was incorporated into an online Star Trek game, and he closed out the In Memoriam segment of the Emmy Awards.
