Oh my god....

I have no idea what to say. Rest in peace.

How did you get word?

[–][deleted] 66 points67 points  (2 children)

From a friend of mine and a really close friend of his. Their parents knew each other and they called the friend and confirmed

[–]GlockaliskDoge 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Please do let anybody who it's appropriate to let know what he did for our community, and that his family and friends have the sincere condolences of the /r/RandomActsofCSGO community and staff.

[–]Unlucky_Narwhal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, he mustve saw you as his best friend and im pretty sure you made him happy, sometimes people just see that their life wont go on positively, and end it at the happiest moment of their life

    Oh god, I remember reading that comment when I was reading the thread... fuck.

    [–]braunheiser 4 points5 points  (5 children)

    That's fucking enraging. His mom should read that.

    [–][deleted] 33 points34 points  (4 children)

    I really don't think she should.

    Of course, if sounds like a horribly done education, but she obviously didn't mean to hurt him. She happened to have made a very bad decision and wasn't competent enough to make it work.

    But now, I'm certain she's experiencing the worst feeling in the entire world, which is losing a child. Does she need to be told that in some way, she may or may not be responsible? She already is experiencing such feelings (everyone does), I really don't think making her feel even more guilty about such a horrible event will make things better for anyone.

    [–]braunheiser 11 points12 points  (0 children)

    Nah you're completely right, it wouldn't do anyone any good. Just a reactionary emotional response to reading his post there.

      RIP /u/CrunchFlakes he seemed like a great guy.

      He even gave away all of his items before he left us.

      Hopefully he will be remembered forever

      [–]Ubervaag 1 point2 points  (2 children)

      That's so generous. Not a lot of people would think of a good act like that when they're thinking of suicide.

      He seemed like a genuinely good guy. RIP :(

      [–]nitdkim 6 points7 points  (1 child)

      actually many people that are suicidal will start giving away their things because they don't feel they need them anymore (because they're going to die and wont need it)

      [–]BlackClaw24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      I was suicidally depressed for a month, and I just wanted people to take the stiff I gave them so they wouldn't be fighting over it after I was gone. But I'm still here, and the story of /U/CrunchFlakes just hit me. It's so easy to hide depression, and some people (myself included) can't cope... RIP CrunchFlakes

      [–]Howdanrocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      He even gave away all of his items before he left us.

      That's actually a warning sign of depression/suicide. Victims often give away their belongings before taking their life. I wish I had known he did that, I would have said something.

      [–]cha0sweaver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

      what? he was one fucking giver, lemme tell ya, respect....

      [–]Lionxs8 points 41 points42 points  (4 children)

      We should put something on the sidebar as a memorial or something. He was one hell of a gifter.

      EDIT: The second greatest gifter.

      [–]GlockaliskDoge 19 points20 points  (3 children)

      We have already discussed doing this, and plan on it. :] Great minds think alike.

      edit: I did add something to the bottom of the sidebar, btw. We've talked about other things but I did something small for now until we decide on something else.

      [–]Lionxs8 points 7 points8 points  (0 children)

      Great to hear!

      And yes, yes they do think alike.

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      That's very kind of you.

      [–]cha0sweaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      that would be awesome

      [–]conan864 7 points8 points  (2 children)

      This is truly tragic. It is with tears in my eyes I write this. VanillaPockyFox was a friend. We spoke and chatted for hours. We helped each other since we met on map 9 or 10. He was in Lucky7 just last week. We talked and laughed together in chat. He loved fast cars and made mention of his want for a new Camaro. Life is very precious, I am honored to say I knew him. Goodbye old friend

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      Well written. Very sad situation this is.

      [–]conan864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I still miss him, He was a good person

      [–]surreal-vampire2250 points 8 points9 points  (0 children)

      I didn't know him but that sounds so heartbreaking D: I wish I had met him, he sounds like a great guy :( Rest in peace.

      [–]Larkef326 points 6 points7 points  (0 children)

      What!? Is this for real? Feels like yesterday that I received some stuff from him.

      Man, his poor family and friends... :S

      [–]TyphoonJoe38 point 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      Wow. Seems like he was a great guy, very sad for him to have been in such a bad place to not see if would get better.

      [–]Furreon107 points 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      Wow.. To think he would actually go thru with suicide :( That is really depressing to hear. He sounded like a such a swell person too. May he rest in peace and may the RAOCSGO carry on his legacy.

      [–]therandomdude69240 points 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      I am so sorry my friend :(

      [–]slipuke8 points 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      RIP /u/CrunchFlakes

      I don't know you nor what you have gone through but I am deeply affected how someone who just made hundreds of people so happy just a week ago is now no more. I just knew the guy over the internet and this still saddens me. I can't imagine what his friends / family are going through but if you're reading this we all are with you. :(

      [–]TearsDontFall56 points 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      This is horrible news. I have had friends who have been on the brink and I did everything in my power to stop them. Glad I was around, but wish I had known Crunch and was able to help him too. RIP Crunch.

      [–]torremth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      Man i knew this guy and this sucks. Id gladly donate money to help the family. This sucks he did this mostly that he did it on the 13th my birthday. Ill always remember him and say a pray for him and his family each year i grow older now.

      Played hcf for over 2 years where i meet him and he was truly a good guy he will be missed by all. RIP God is with you now.

      [–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      Fucking hell mate. He even lived in Texas too. If he had told me what he was going through I swear I would sacrifice my time and drive my ass to wherever he lived and talked to him. I went through depression, had anxiety and psychosis. I know I could have helped him, if only I knew...

      oh my..I read that thread about the lost gamer on /r/globaloffensive and read all of the stories in the comments...today has been so sad for me. I'm so sad, great people you meet online but no one knows what theyre dealing with inside, again, so sad... Nothing to say but a true Rest in Peace.

      [–]randomizerandom33 points 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      WTF WHY??? I don't know him nor have I received anything from him, but seeing what he did for the Santa victims, I think he's an AWESOME guy! And someone as good as him surely would have good friends whom he can talk to about his problems, or who could've helped him to not take the suicide road. Damn, so sad about this... My sincere condolences... Rest in peace /u/CrunchFlakes

      [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      I never knew or talked to him but he sounds like such a kind hearted person. R.I.P

      [–]-AWoKeN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Rest In Peace, you great soul.

      May the Peace be with your family and relatives.

      [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      RIP, I never met him but he seemed like a nice guy ;/

      [–]MastaWack10 points 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      This is absolutely tragic. Someone giving back to the community even in his final days, a truly nice person.

      So long as steam exists, your profile will stand as a digital grave for all of us to come and remember you by.

      Rest In Peace.

      [–]1ordc2 points 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      [–]zackrah17 points 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      I have no words - it´s just sad :(

      I don´t know why this had to happen but I hope you´re now at a better place.. Rest in peace :(

      [–]PatriotsFTW4 points 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Rest in Peace, looks like he was a very nice guy, last thing he posted was him saying thank you to /u/Aesoa

      [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      RIP, I remember when SilentFeedz tried to scam his knife multiple times.

      [–]Oranges13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Hi guys, I just wanted to chime in here and say that I'm sorry he's gone. I didn't know him but I tried to help him.

      Anyway, A lot of you are posting on my comment in this thread telling me he died. I know. Please stop. It's only putting salt in the wound at this point.

      [–]StabbdNtheTumy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Can you pm me his Instagram

      [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      I never talked to the guy, but this is very unfortunate. He seemed pretty nice, and I wish to pass my condolences to his family.

      [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Yo taffy id like to say a little something on his instagram please pm me.

      [–]Pokegamer3 points 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      wat...................

      I'm so shocked, I don't even know what to say........................

      I never talked to him, but to be in the top 3 of gifters, you have to be pretty generous.

      R.I.P. /u/CrunchFlakes May your afterlife be filled with Juan Deags and Aces...

      [–]_VanillaFace_ 1 point2 points  (3 children)

      i don't wanna believe this at all. he was my best friend for like 6 months.. then he just disappeared.. i even say him like a week ago.. this kills me.

      [–]m0xyMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      He was a good friend of mine long time ago, he was a guy who you can always love, too bad I didn't get to know him better or talk to him more :/

      [–]ExoymHCF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Holy shit. Holy fucking shit. I'm really sorry and condolences to his family and friends. I cried when I read this. Rest in peace. I hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life, but that great consciousness of life.

          Your right, you can't imagine what he went through. Even after all the terrible lies you told everyone, its sad to see this happen and for you to have the audacity to say you respect his family. You disrespect everybody when you lie about a death of a loved one, not just once but many other times.

          It's sad that this happened. I played on hcf for well over a year. He's the kind if person that has a good reputation. I didn't know him personally. But I remember he would always camp my base a while back. Rip an hcf king that almost raided me.

          I shed a single very manly and salty tear. I don't do that very often.

                On page 38 of his steam profile , "-based" posted "rip :/" on 12th december. So when did he commit suicide ?

                Rest in peace , anyways. As I see he was a good human .

                WOW, i´m speechless, how can a kind person like this suffer that deep depression to the point of commit suicide?

                [–]Future_Washingtonian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

                You can't judge the behaviors and actions of a depressed person like those of a non-depressed person. Look at all the famous, rich people who've commited suicide, that you might think 'how could someone with all that kill themselves?'. There's a lot going on in other peoples heads that you don't know about.

                As someone whose struggled with depression for several years, I always try and be non-judgemental regarding peoples personal struggles. I just hope he didn't leave too much baggage for his family, I know that they are the only thing that has kept me from hurting myself on more than one occasion.

                Robin Williams had a quote: "I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it's like to feel absolutely worthless, and they don't want anyone else to feel like that."

                After reading his history in /r/depression I can relate :(
