Are all these correct and do they mean the same?

1) Rick died too young. But I am thinking of another person who was lost too young.
2) Rick died too young. But I am thinking of another who was lost too young.
3) Rick died too young. But I am thinking of another lost too young.
 
Yes and yes.
 
Try this. (See below.)

Abe: Are you talking about Rick?
Bob:. Rick died too young, but no, I'm thinking about somebody else who died too young.

I wouldn't use "lost" there. I would use it in the tragic context in which somebody has recently lost her only brother, for example.

Is my example close to the context you have in mind?
 
Thank you both very much,

Tarheel, your example is close to the context I have in mind, and your suggestion regarding the use of 'lost' is extremely helpful.

The reason I asked the question was that I wanted to know if one could use 'another' in that way, so Skrej's response was also extremely helpful.

Respectfully,
Navi
 
What about "another person who met the same fate"?
