A Google search tonight revealed that at least 8 cavers recently passed away.
Below are links to their obituaries:

Searching is not easy, as so many of the links are people named Cave or Caver,
or a town with names like "Bee Cave."
As much as some cavers dislike the word "spelunker," It seems most
appropriate
for obituaries for being able to find missing or lost friends that may
have passed away.
[ Disclaimer: My limited search was only in English, and did not
include Cave Divers, Cavern Divers, Karst Researchers, etc. Also, I
did not verify if I listed the same caver twice. ]
But I did stumble onto a cave diver obituary from December:
