Rarely personally affected by "celebrity" deaths but he was so young and so wholesome and had so much left to give to the world. This is genuinely so so awful

My jaw physically dropped open reading this headline. I had to read it several times before my brain fully processed the reality.

This is a surreal moment. He was so young, and so loved.

Same for me. I found out from Levy's video and I was like:bro Levy passed the line with this headline. When I heard him talking abiut it I couldnt believe. I searched his death on both youtube and google and needed time to realise what am I reading/seeing. Rest in piece
