Chris Ledesma: ‘The Simpsons’ veteran passes away after 33 years of production work

By Smith On Jan 4, 2023

Chris Ledesma, a star of “The Simpsons”, passed away at the age of 64. He had worked for every episode starting the show beginning 33 years ago. The show’s latest episode paid sincere tribute to Ledesma with a title card that said, “In loving remembrance of Chris Ledesma.”

The music editor was displayed in an animated form keeping up his conductor’s baton while chilling on the fabled Simpsons sofa with Marge, Homer, Maggie, Bart and Lisa.

Lisa played her saxophone, while Maggie played the tambourine, and Bart played the triangle; the kids were shown participating in the music. Al Jean, one of the initial members of the writing team on the series, paid homage to Ledesma following his tragic passing at 64.

He said on Twitter that the nice, diligent, and talented man would be missed by everyone he knew. An animator for “The Simpsons,” Matthew Schofield, expressed his shock and dismay at learning about Ledesma’s passing.

Pope Benedict dies aged 95: Major and controversial statements he made

Who is Pope Benedict?

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI was the first pontiff in 600 years to resign from the job. He is known as the “shy German theologian who tried to reawaken Christianity in a secularized Europe.” Benedict passed away at the age of 95 on Saturday.

On Nazis

“To speak in this place of horror, in this place where unprecedented mass crimes were committed against God and man, is almost impossible — and it is particularly difficult for a Christian, for a pope from Germany,” he said in May 2006. As per Reuters, he evoked criticism in the same speech for failing to lay blame for the Holocaust squarely on Germany by attributing Nazi crimes to only a “ring of criminals” who had intimidated their countrymen.

On Jihad

“‘Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached’,” he said in September 2006 quoting criticisms of the Prophet Mohammed by a 14th Century Byzantine Christian emperor. Benedict received wide criticism among the Muslims for this.

On condoms

AIDS “is a tragedy that cannot be overcome by money alone, that cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which even aggravates the problems” he said in March 2009 during a visit to Africa. This prompted mass outcry.

On his election

“I knew I wasn’t really the man for the job. But if God gave me this burden, He would also have to help me carry it.” When asked about how it felt, he said, “Like the guillotine.”

He continued by saying that he had graciously invited him to observe the scoring process for his episode of “Black Eyed.” He was a great man who enjoyed his work. Chris, RIP.

Ledesma, born on January 28, 1958, has spent his entire life in California.
Ledesma’s generosity was recognised by former Simpsons showrunner Josh Weinstein, who wrote that Ledesma was one of the most generous and talented members of a team that was also generous and talented.
