Gord Downie's death resonated deeply Wednesday morning.

The Tragically Hip frontman and devoted Boston Bruins fan died after his battle with brain cancer Tuesday night with his children and family close by, according to a statement on the band's website, and his passing brought out memories, tributes, and condolences from all corners of the hockey community.

Downie's death was felt far beyond the hockey world, as well.
