October 5th at 4.15 p.m., my younger brother, his heart stopped beating during one of his cancer treatments. he was 35 years old he leaves behind a wife and a 12 year old daughter it was definitely unexpected things were on the up and up with this cancer fight that he had this was his second battle with cancer and he was very positive about how things were going so that is definitely what took us all for a shock was how abrupt this was. Very unexpected. I want to thank all of you out there that reached out to me with their condolences and or prayers. It really means a lot to me, and I know there's probably some of you out there I didn't respond to. I'm sorry. It's one of those things where you might have caught me in a moment where I was busy doing something or maybe I just was in a bad place at that time. My family and I are doing much better than obviously whenever it was first told to us. I haven't done any kind of video or made any content you know since his passing because I definitely feel that if I was to create something during that time it would be forced I would feel it I feel as the audience members you would probably feel it and see it in the quality as well And I definitely was just like, you know what? I'm going to take a break from everything and just deal with what I've got going on. But like I said, I'm on the up and up now. Now that the memorial service has passed, I feel that now the healing can truly begin. I will say to all of you out there, and I remember hearing this so often growing up and even in my current point in life, that you never know when you say goodbye to somebody if that is truly the last time you're going to say it. so when you have a time to say that to someone you love do it tell them that you love them and say goodbye damn it i thought i would be up for this i thought this would be easier gotta breathe it out try to compress those feelings back down again. God forbid if I let those out. Alright, guys. Here we go, guys. More content on the way, and yes, I will be at Pinball Expo. _(Acquisition: youtube_groq_whisper, Enrichment: v3)_ --- *Exported from Journalist Tool on 2026-04-13 | Item ID: b982db5e-6ffe-4893-a3b8-68bbc3e36fc0*
