I've kept this vague, but still, SPOILERS ahead for The First Law series by Joe Abercrombie. SPOILERS. I'll see if I can get the damn spoiler tag working, but SPOILERS.
EDIT: No dice, I can't seem to get the spoiler tag working on Interstellar.
At the very end of the ninth and final book of the First Law series by Joe Abercrombie, your favorite character (possibly just of the series, but they might be your favorite fictional character ever) that you've spent three books getting to know and love and cherish is fucking executed in front of people they love and then you find out that execution was orchestrated by the second best character in the entire nine book series. It felt like my heart was being ripped up and I fukken wept like a small child. My partner was angry and depressed for months because this character stood for so much that was good and hopeful and then they just fucking died in such a horrible way. Joe Abercrombie is a fucking amazing writer for being able to elicit an emotional response like that and he's a bastard for doing so. The moment is totally earned and I'd highly recommend the books. Just make sure you're in a good place emotionally before you start the last one.

Jiraiya from Naruto Shippuden. Felt like my own family member passed when they killed him off.
Edit: Also, Sergeant Johnson in Halo 3.
Richard Harrow in Boardwalk Empire. The episode was amazing and the send-off was beautifully written but, boy, was it sad.
Kanan from Star Wars Rebels.
Life is strange - Kate's Suicide
I honestly think you got robbed if you managed to save her on your first play through
Grave of fireflies. Just... Yeah.
Cyberpunk 2077 spoiler:
Tap for spoiler
Jackie Wells. Damn that broke me up; the whole buildup in Act1 to that scene was so artfully done. So immersed. Really felt like I lost my anchor and best friend in that fucked up life.
I’ll ride his Arch til the day I can’t. Not a scratch.

Nagisa Furukawa. Messed me right up.
Spoiler
Dante from Clerks III
I really resonated with the character and how everything is others peoples fault and he rarely bothered to sort his own life out. Feels just like me! 😆 So their death in this film really struck a chord with me and I was in floods of tears.

The 10th Doctor.
I don't want to go...
Not my most, but also not already in the thread:
Duella's in BSG.
Rita Morgan.
That episode was NOT OK.
I was not ok for about a week.
As a kid the biggest one I can remember was Wolf, from the book The Talisman (King/Straub). Hurts to this day.
Jesus.
Rose from Please Like Me. Probably partly because my mum also has bipolar.

Turns out that he didn't die after all so none.
Well, he did die. Then toy sales flatlined too and they brought him back.
