R.I.P Lydia.
When I left Whiterun to settle in at Hjerim I had to abandon everything of my past life and unfortunately you got caught in the crossfire. It really was nothing personal but Boethiah told me to do it and I thought it would be kind of funny to trick you so...I kind of, had to, sorta, completely murder you. But look on the upside! I got some nice armour out of it.

There's Joshua Graha... Uh, I mean Erandur, who was killed in battle with a dragon and dragon priest at the same time while traveling with my good character. His awesome voice will be greatly missed.
Then there's Marcurio, a mercenary mage I picked up in Riften, who was murdered by my evil character as a sacrifice to Boethiah. He won't really be missed, but he tasted delicious.

i lost "my" lydia to a giant just outside of whiterun (you know, that camp they have there nearby). i thought she'd be up to the challenge by then, but i guess i was wrong. when i happen to be around, i go pay a visit to the place. it is, after all, her burial ground. now that i think of it, why not bring her some flowers and lay them next to her next time i go..
i was so shocked (and by that i mean, not moved at all, nor actually surprised) by such a premature death, that i decided not to let anyone else join me in my quests ever again. till i was done helping that priestess of azura, that is. then i was like: after all the trouble these stupid daedric quests caused me, why not accept something out of it when i get the chance?
turned out that wasn't such a good decision after all. so RIP aranea, slashed to death by a skeleton in the very first cave we went clearing together, right after i let you join me. just btw, seems like she was the last priestess of possibly the only one bearable daedra of all. i'm starting to feel guilty here.
also, a mournful tought goes to the countless innocent steeds that went.. er, amiss.. while accompanying me through all those hard mountain passes, battered by blinding snow storms and so full of tricky, steep precipes.. yes, i like to blame that on the bad weather and inhospitableness of the surroundings.

R.I.P Sven.
You bravely fought through Bleak Falls Barrow with naught but clothes and an iron dagger. I honestly thought that spider would kill you, but you survived.
Too bad that Alvor's wife in Riverwood hired some thugs to kill me for a few things I might have borrowed without permission from her house. They murdered you, in broad daylight in the streets of Riverwood. I beat them, buddy. I killed them. Left their bodies to rot while I carried you to the river. You got a Boromir send-off, Sven.
Then I murdered Alvor's wife. Ain't nobody fucks with Sven.

R.I.P,
Lydia, I was a low level and so when those bloody vampires cut you down I got the heck out of there. I think I went back to avenge you later. Then again maybe that was somewhere else.
Marcurio, You were absolutely my favorite follower, your magic made you beast, I killed that dragon priest in your honor Marcurio.
Iona, I sacrificed you to the Daedra, you annoyed me.
Dark Elf merc in Whiterun, I fought bandits with you on a shipwreck, then I pulled back my warhammer and smashed your skull in.
People of Markarth, I killed almost all of you and there may be 10 of you left.
First horse, two Sabre cats took you out and I hate you.
Werewolf in a cage, Because we were both werewolfs I let you out of that cage. You attacked me and I killed you.

Don't know why you can't kill her, I killed a guy in the inn payed off my fine and left, and apparently my follower killed Mjoll because I got a letter of inheritance.
RIP Dragonf***er, my horse.
One of the only times I used you, and every god damn a**hole in skyrim has to turn up behind my back to kill you. Ain't it a b****.
I don't often use followers. I had enough trouble not shooting farkas in the back while doing one of the companion quests, being an archer primarily.
Also, one person stealth is a lot easier than two.

R.I.P Eorland, The night before I seen a tip that sneaking behind and hitting you while you work would increase sneak and you wouldn't fight back. But before I could test it Heimsker or whatever his name was got annoying. So when I shouted him very, very far everyone attacked me. Yet you and Farkas stayed by my side the guards still cut you both down. But I killed those guards, and Heimsker. Never did test that tip...
RIP Lydia, i snuck into the Thalmor embassy and you somehow died in the cave below it, well done you useless sack of shit
I sacrificed Lydia for that one Daedric quest where you have to sacrifice someone at that altar.
I rode Shadowmere off a cliff and didn't bother reloading my save because his body landed in a river and began to poetically drift off towards the sunset.
I also took Faendal, my very first companion, into a forest about 100 hours into the game and killed him, because I needed the blood of a Bosmer for one particular quest, and didn't know of any other Bosmers at the time.

R.I.P Lydia, stolen horse, windhelm thane guy, hired merc #1, Hired merc guy #2, Kharja, stray dog, summoned flame atronach, summoned familiar, erik the slayer.
I have no idea how most of you died, guess you all just kinda sucked too much and decided to die, maybe i loaded you down with too much gear, i don't know. But what i do know is that you are all equally replaceable temporary packmules that i occasionally beat savagely as punishment for your very existence. i love you all, you will be missed and later forgotten.

Oh, since I'm seeing a lot of Shadowmere grief here: Shadowmere respawns 10 days after s/he[footnote]Female in prior games, male in this one, though Astrid supposedly can refer to Shadowmere as either gender[/footnote] dies, at the location of his/her death. So rejoice! Your nightmare steed is reborn!
