Nimoy’s career goes well beyond Trek but he did come to appreciate how much his character meant to so many people, especially in The Wrath of Khan, still the best Trek film ever and an enduring sci-fi/adventure film overall.
Can’t help but think of both Bones’ and Kirk’s words in the ending.

He won’t stay dead for long. He always dies and comes back. It in every one of those movies now.

Maybe that bright light was him landing on Ceres and he’s gonna start a new world.

His death caused most folks to pause.
I enjoyed his work on the cult classic, In Search Of
