I should have clarified. I'm not suggesting a Rosita death, or Eugene death is the same as a Darryl death, or Glenn death. It's one of the main characters - Darry, Glenn, Maggie, etc. I was saying that the death isn't so much about who, but about what it does to the group.
Like Rausch said, the group was all living a life they felt untouchable, in control of everything. Negan's appearance, and control over Rick's group, and ultimate death of one showed Rick that what he thought they had, they didn't actually have. It knocked them off their pedestal.
Just watch Rick's face during the last scene. He's lost, he has no idea what to do, he knows that he's not in control of anything. Negan even said something along the lines of "It sucks when you finally realize you don't know shit."
