You may be thinking of "Life Goes On" (1991). It was written both
about the girlfriend of guitarist C.C. DeVille who was shot and killed
in a bar fight and the band's security gaurd who also passed away at
about the same time.

Randy Rhoads
I don't know the Ozzy song but Quiet Riot did one for Rhoads called
"Thunderbird"

Only one I can think of is Empty Garden (Hey, Hey Johnny) by Elton
John, written for John Lennon
