Albert Ayler, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Dolphy, and Kaoru Abe all passed away too early, and I feel like they all would have made some (more) phenomenal music had they stuck around for longer.
I would say Sun Ra, Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa, among others, but in those cases they lived long lives that included several incredible contributions to art. It'd be nice if they were still around though.
