Worst as in most affecting or worst as in most poorly executed?

Worst Death....hmmmm
Poorly executed- the death of Wesley. I mean he wasnt even killed by a interesting character. It was some old guy, who is only really ever seen in 2 episodes!
Affected the most- hmm... in Buffy: Tara should never have died. She was just starting to become interesting and less mousey!

I hadn't really developed into a real fan of Joss's at that point. I only occassionally watched Buffy but when Angel started up I really liked it. I think my favorite character was Doyle. I never watched another season of Angel or Buffy until occasionally in syndication after Doyle was gone. Well, maybe the first couple of season 2 but the interest was gone. One of these days I'll probably go back and watch 2-4. I watched all of season 5 and loved it, but I still miss Doyle. I wasn't aware of Glenn's problems until now, it truly is a shame.
As for what was the most shocking etc loss of a character (other than Doyle), I would have to go with Wash from Firefly/Serenity, Buffy's Mom from Buffy, and Fred from Angel. Although, I have to give Groosalug an honorable mention just for the way he died at the end of season 5.

I'll speak to that which I know best, the death of Wesley. Granted, he was offed by an 'old guy', but at least it had been established that he was a really bad, important 'old guy'. I think it was suppose to underscore just how the odds were stacked against Angel and the gang, and they had finally stepped on some very big toes.
Also, I can't help but notice the similarity to you saying Wesley died by a character who wasn't even interesting and how Lindsay was killed off, not by Angel, but instead by Lorne, one of the 'flunkies'.
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

Yep, from what he's said in public about her death, it appears that he arrived home one day to find she had died very suddenly. He discovered the body and had to deal with the aftermath.
Of course it goes without saying that an experience like that has a huge effect on your life, as well as anything you create. Certainly 'The Body' is the truest portrayal of loss and grief I've ever seen on TV.

I've yet to see that ep of Buffy. It's in my queue of DVDs, whenever the hell Blockbuster gets it's act together..... but I digress.
I wasn't familiar w/ the episode The Body, so I did a quick google. Above a site which gave me the answer, there was a link to 'Celebrity Atheist List', of which Joss's name was one. I checked the main page, and wow! I had no idea that Lance Armstrong, surviver of massive turmors all over his body and 7x Tour De France champion was on the list.
Interesting. Don't know how accurate or up to date it is,( Ted Williams and Christopher Reeve appear on the various lists ) but there's also a list for The Ambiguous - skeptical about theism and religion. One notable on the list is well known right wing radio man, G.Gordan Liddy.
Boy, did I steer off the road here! Sorry!

Jim Doyle just got reelected in Wisconsin as Governor. He's a jerk. Looking forward to that RIP. Wanna trade Doyles?
