You can find more information, including (often) links to obituaries by scrolling through the "Philosophy Updates" category (in which this post also appears).

(Note:  I do not attempt to list the passing of every professional philosopher in a given year; I do try to record the deaths of those who are likely to be known to others in the profession.)
