Rest in peace Byron

“If you guys get lonely you should talk to eachother and play games together” so unfortunate

This is incredibly sad, suicide is a really serious issue and one that should take the utmost priority in society, rest in peace Byron.

Almost 4 years have passed. We still miss you sir. The pain is still there 🥺

The worst part is him telling his chat what to do if they get lonely.

"one can save millions, but sometimes millions can't save one"

The fact that he basically said with his last public words, ''dont be lonely'', crushes me everytime i watch it

"worlds been tough", and "a few minutes i'll pass out," with "maybe it's all uphill from here" were all signs, no one could've seen this coming, but may his soul rest peacefully.

people saying “see you tomorrow” hurt me😔

The thing about suicide is that the majority of the people who have these thoughts don't want to die, they just want their pain to stop. May Reckful rest in peace.

have never heard of this guy before, but he seemed so sweet. I'm low-key tearing up for a stranger right now. RIP

You can hear in his voice he was a sweet person, I’ve never been a streamers type of person so I didn’t get to know him but like I said before he looked and sounded like a kind hearted individual. R.I..P

The “see you guys tomorrow” is the most heart-breaking part.

He literally was talking about being lonely and passing out. Holy shit.

It's been three years and I still remember vividly my reaction when I saw the news on twitter. I didn't follow Reckful on his final days. I just know him from the early hearthstone days. But yet his death has been affecting me ever since then. Everytime I come back to this clip and see the emptiness in his eyes and how sweet he was being with chat, I can't help but tear up. I hope he would somehow know how much we miss him. He will never be forgotten.

One bro said in the Live Chat "Why is he speaking like he's about to commit suicide" 😭😢

“See you guys tomorrow...or the next day” that hits hard...

His voice speeds up when he says “tomorrow or the next day” which is something people do when they’re being dishonest

I haven't had a good cry in while, but this got me. Dammit man, I grew up watching this man and he always seemed so happy, so full of life. I guess it goes to show that hurting on the inside can be just as bad as any external injury. We miss you man.

Condolences to everyone affected. Seemed like a nice guy on his last words here alone.

That’s sad I didn’t even know who he was, RIP, “I’ll see you guys tomorrow”

Not sure why this was recommended to me but god this hurts

This was surreal to watch, the kind of way you know a loved one is never coming back. I don’t know who Byron is but judging by the steady stream of replies, he is well loved. I’ve been somewhat sceptical about the parasocial relationships we share with streamers but this is proof that a lot of people in this world are still nice and still look to spread love every single waking moment of their lives. May Byron continue resting in peace and may his legacy be one of hope for all this admirers.

I have no clue why this came into my feed but I don't think I've seen anything more painful and sad and absolutely time stopping. Relatable af. The struggle is real and I hope he rests easy .... If anybody is struggling please know you're not alone and help is there. You are loved and your existence absolutely matters... Sending love to everyone 💜

His last words to his fans are an advice of love born out of pain.

"Oh man.... If I, uhh..." He wanted to say it right there. Cryptic.

The world would be a better place if we had more people like him. RIP Byron

Dam KZfaq, stop reminding me.

I don’t even know who he is but this is legitimately heartbreaking

damn, horribly sad - but what a powerful message to send to his viewers at the end - don't know this guy at all, but that hit me.

Rest in peace Byron, I'm so sorry that whatever was troubling you lead you to take your own life and I hope more than anything you found your calm in the afterlife or the void, whichever awaits us when we're gone

fuck man, this hurt and I've never seen the guy before...

"If uh-" You know what he was going to really say, but he stopped himself. Been there, wish I had just said it. Wish he had said it too. Rest in peace.

I never watched this guy before and only heard about him the following day of his passing. Devastating. Can't believe the world lost such a handsome man. Rest in piece dude.

I never saw one of his streams but I’ve watched this clip countless times over the years. RIP

Someone sent a message saying “what’s on your mind” i could only imagine what he’d say to that

You can tell that he knew that this was his last moments on twitch. He told his viewers to play with eachother if they get lonely and I feel as though he didn't want this to happen to anybody else. What a kind man. Rest in Peace Reckful.

Still hard to believe 3 years have flashed before our eyes! Im still severely depressed, but ive managed to get a job and start working out at the gym, I met this woman I really like but she might not feel or be aware of the feelings I got for her. Life honestly got a little better for me @ the moment, it seems I'm breaking out of my shells comfort zone. Rip Byron I wish I got to meet you in person and the fans, I hope everyone is doing well❤️ stay safe Kingz

I was depressed in July of 2020 myself. Thankfully I’ve gone through a huge spiritual journey of my own and can only imagine where he could be today if he had held on. R.I.P

When he said “if you guys get lonely maybe you can talk to each other or play video games with eachother” I knew something was up

“Saddest part of life is when the person who gave you the best memories becomes a memory”

I didn't watch it much, but from time to time I would stop by to watch a stream for a few moments. I will always remember that he was an incredible person, a nice guy and it is totally sad what happened. It really makes me reflect to this day and makes me think about what many people suffer and we don't realize it.

If anybody is struggling with their mental health, please make the effort to try and get some help for it. Another thing to add, if you're depressed because the love of your life or whatever is no longer into you or you've seperated, keep pushing forward. They might seem like the one, but man if he/she/they/them are gone, you can ABSOLUTELY find somebody even better. It just takes time, you can't just expect to find somebody who matches you right away, but you will find them someday. I've watched Reckful for quite some time and still come back to this video... makes me sad man. Please, for Reckful, if you're struggling, get help. The world is a better place with you in it, no matter how bad your mistakes were or what has happened in the past.

The way he was trying to say that when he's gone, talk to other people in chat, saying he's just any other guy in that community hurts so much.

Hearing him say “if I“ and stops knowing he was gonna say “if I don’t stream again” hurts because maybe someone would of helped prevent it

Never watched this dude but he seemed like a great and humble person. May he rest in peace

Can’t believe it’s been 3 years without this man.

What a terrible loss. I can't help but point out that his message at the end was such a sweet sorrow. "If you guys ever get lonely, you should play with each other." "I feel like people are too scared to play together."

"I will see you guys either tomorrow or the next day... *oh man*"... after realizing what's going to happen he proceeds to suddenly give his viewers some advice about feeling lonely... so sad man.

I've never heard of him, but it was recommended. The pain was enormous through the video. Jeez.

This still gives me chills till this day rip Reckful❤

the chat kills me. "Goodnight friend Reckful" "What's on your mind!" "stay safe" "ily dude" "I FUCKING LOVE YOU" "love you man" "love u reckful" "Thank you for everything" "Take care man we love you" all those messages of love and well wishes and the sickness still got to him, goes to show how intensely strong it can be.

"I will see you guys the next day" That. That really hurts the most.

everything feels so peaceful there , the sky in the background even looks beautiful, the chat being supportive and cool... , man this hits really hard.

What the hell are these comments

This man was giving comfort to others at times he couldn't comfort himself. You will forever be remembered R.I.P Byron ❤

You can tell he doesn’t want to stop his stream.

I never watched him nor have I ever played wow in my life. But this still has me teary eyed. Seeing someone suffering just hurts immensly.

I find it so heartbreaking yet beautiful that the chat is this sensitive and caring. They knew that Reckful was not doing well and found him relatable. Rest in peace

"If you guys ever get lonely, talk to each other." - RIP reckful

3 years and im still Feeling, i just love him so much

Never seen this, never heard about this, don't know anything about it. But it's sad that you can tell from his body language that he knows he won't be there "tomorrow or the next day". His body language shifts and relaxes after thinking about it the first time. He made up his mind

He wanted everyone to have what he needed most. Someone to talk to.

For those of you who dont know what rekful accomplished: "He finished in the top 0.1% of the playerbase multiple competitive seasons in a row and was the first player to reach 3000 rating. He competed in a handful of tournaments, and won Major League Gaming's World of Warcraft tournament in 2010" He is the person who pretty much shaped competitive WoW, he was the godfather of WoW PvP. He was a genuine dude, he lost his younger brother to suicide, and battled with depression. He was a good dude. He left a single brother, Gary, the last sibling of the trio.

You are still missed and loved, Byron. This world can be overwhelmingly cruel to souls with open hearts. May you forever rest in peace and bliss. We love you.

I can tell, after that stream ended he began to cry, a deep sadness lived under the surface, rest in peace...

Even in his final moments, he still tried to get people together and be positive. Such a tragedy. We miss you so much, Byron.

This is a call for help but he couldn’t speak

That empty smile is just like my own. It’s hard out here! RIP

I don't know him/his KZfaq/Twitch stream: But, as someone who has been dealing with depression for 40 years but has now managed to beat it...I know that face/that facial expression...that one Like Robin Williams, you only know it in people with chronic depression. May he find peace in another world. R.I.P Sir.

I never watched the guy, but this feels like a bullet to my chest, jeez.

You could just look at his face and tell the pain he’s trying to hide for the sake of his viewers.

I still remember this stream. Life was easier when I was dozing off to you playing hearthstone in the background back then and even stuck around for the WoW vids after when you showed signs of not being well. Miss you like you can’t believe Byron. Rest easy.

Rest in Paradise Reckful! I’ll never forget those hearthstone streams! ❤️

It looks like he was hiding a great amount of pain, while telling everyone goodbye for the night. I almost cried.

It's sad because he was hinting that something was wrong while saying good night. Much respect, Rest in Peace Byron.

The fact that this came up on my feed today of all days. One of my best friends committed suicide 2 years ago today. No visible warning signs. Nothing.

7 years ago, that person who told him to kill himself, he started it all. I hope you happy. R.I.P Reckful.

I cant believe his last words to the public before his death was "Boop" How wholesome and comforting he was :(

damn knowing he killed himself, watching it now, its so blatant that he already knew he was going to do it as he was saying goodbye, he knew he wasn't going to see us tomorrow or the next day. Depression is real man

This is absolutely heartbreaking. I don't even have anything else to say. Bless his soul, I hope he's resting now. 🌹😞

After learning what happened, just watchin and listening to him now you can see it.. you can hear it.. in his voice.. :(

"If you guys get lonely talk to each other..." He was very much trying to get people to make friends with each other as he left this world.

This is the first time i ever heard of him, He looked like a very nice guy RIP

This hurts dude. This really REALLY hurts even years later. Im 30 years old and still cry when I see this 😢

I would have loved this channel. RIP to whoever this wonderful man is.

You can probably tell his heart is racing

This little raise of his eyebrows when he said “I’m gonna watch TV before I pass out” made my heart ache :( RIP💔

WHO'S GONA CARRY THE BOAT SON

Breaks my heart to know his brother died from suicide when he was 6 and then it takes him. Only comforting aspect is they're finally together again.

“If you guys ever feel lonely...” You could tell he absolutely wanted to pour his heart out but didn’t want to make his audience worry about him. Such a selfless soul. Rest In Peace, Reckful.

Damn. Even the way he speaks just sounds so defeated. Like he's on the verge of crying. I don't know who this guy is. I don't know if this is how he normally talked, but goddamn, I can hear the pain in his voice. I hope his family, friends, and fans find peace.

I want to send a positive message to all of the people who suffer from depression. I know what it's like because I've been there myself in the past but I am glad to still be here healthy. Sometimes, it can feel like your world is falling apart for whatever reason and I can understand it. However, even if it doesn't look like it, there are always people out there who will understand your pain and help you. Sending a warm virtual hug to anyone who needs one🫂❤

his head flew over the horizon.

Jesus I can see it in his eyes the smile of someone who isnt sad or angry just exhausted and not from anything in life but from life itself. Hope you're doing well wherever you are big fella.

I have never known if this man until now but I really can’t fathom how heartbreaking that was to watch. It’s sad that this man was trying to help others and telling them to look on the bright side, make friends with others in the chat, reach out to family and friends, all the while he couldn’t help himself with that same advice. A lot of times in life, we have a tendency to want to help others so much that we forget to help ourselves. He seemed like an amazing person. And it saddens me greatly to know of his death. Rest In Peace Byron.

I’m not sure who this guy is, but he seemed like such a nice hearted guy. I can just see him trying to put up a smile, and it hurts me when I see someone do that. May he forever Rest In Peace 🙏.

“I’ll see your tomorrow or the next day” we never got to see the tomorrow or next day😭

Miss you, dearly. With Christmas time coming up, this is going to be a frequent watch.
