2007 ended on a sad note...
with the passing of one of the most important representatives...
Given the limited context here I am guessing that this is in reference to someone's death. I would avoid the personification of the year 2007 and therefore change the sentence structure a bit to something more along the lines of what I've proposed above. A literal translation of this phrase does not sound natural in English.
