"Do not cry because he is gone, be happy because he was here. LEGENDS NEVER DIE"

I'm really devastated to hear about your sudden passing G-Man. you were an inspiration for a lot of people. Will miss match days with you. Fly high bro. :-(

It's so sad that I didn't see this video sooner. I can clearly see the pain in his eyes. It was so obvious he was under insane emotional distress. Rest in Peace brother. You will be deeply missed.

G-Man - the Bokke will bring it home for you mate!

G-Man you left an impression on us all! You walked tall all your life pal. You have been inspiring, gentle, kind, a breath of fresh air and most importantly, hugely vulnerable and brave....a real man! We hope you a resting easy now pal, you deserve to, you have given so much. We will miss you, for you above everyone else embody what our great game should be about.... Integrity. And what you brought to people will live on.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. RIP Gareth I really enjoyed your videos over the years.

RIP Gareth. proper rugby bloke. love from Wales ♥️

I want to be honest. I didn't see an awful lot of Gareth's content. I liked his stuff, I really liked his get up and go, the verve he had for life and living. It came across in his vids. I only heard of his death today. But, dear god, the pain Gareth was in comes across in this and is thoroughly heart breaking. To see what his problems did to him...it's hard to watch, and he was the one going thru it. It is so, so sad. This has really affected me. Seeing another human being in this condition, brings tears to my eyes. IU had a bad bout of depression in my 20s, although I have wrestled with it off and on for much of my life. Seeing Gareth in this vid makes me think of what might have happened if had been less...lucky than I have been in my circumstances. Depression / anxiety is a cruel, murderous illness. It fools you into thinking you're weak, when in actual fact you have to be tough to live with it. It fools you into thinking you're useless, so you apologise to everyone for being a burden to them, even tho they love having you around and are just worried about you. It eats you from the inside out, which makes it so corrosive. And seeing Gareth in so much pain is deeply, deeply sad. I am so sorry the world lost a a real light with his passing. He deserved so much more. If anyone suffers with this, I truly hope you can find support and comfort. You are not a burden, you are not weak, you are not useless and you are not alone. There are millions of us. I don't know what else to say. I am truly sorry the world lost him.

Very sad ... sleep now G man .

The world and the rugby world lost a good one. RIP from New Zealand.

I am stunned and speechless at this very sad news. I don't know what to say. May you find eternal peace G-man.

RIP big man .. ❤ Love from Ireland I always think of you when rugby is on . Hopefully your in a better place

Rest in power Gareth... much love from me here in New Zealand..... you're a bloody legend and will be sorely missed by me.... the man.

Rest in Peace G-Man. We’re all going to miss you dearly 💔

Missing you Gareth.See you back soon.

Thanks, Gareth. God bless you and your Mother, wherever you both are... RIP G-Man, Walking Tall

His pain in this video is so hard to watch So sad

RIP G Man. You walked tall amongst us.

Rest in peace champ! From New Zealand

Never seen such a happy, inspiring and passionate man in all my life, my only regret is I never got to meet you in person 😭😭😭 Rest In Peace

The Springboks winning their fourth title yesterday made me think how much he would have loved to see it

Thank you for getting me into rugby as a Saffer. RIP brother G-man.

Arohanui Gareth (gman) Manson, you must have known how much we respect and to see you not here anymore I would like to thank you and your family for sharing your love for sport with us all . RIP Big man xx

Great communicator will be greatly missed for his insiteful and positiive expression and love of sport RIP brother

R.I.P Big man....

I remember when I made this comment on one of his videos last year 😭❤🕊:"Dont worry G-man, 2022 will BE THE YEAR"

I can't believe I'm so late finding this out. I used to watch Gareth a lot, when I was not in a good place, we even exchanged a few messages. In recent years I have stopped watching Rugby so much and stopped keeping up with Gareth. Seeing him like this, it just so desperately sad,. What a wonderfully kind soul he was and I think the comments here demonstrate what an impression he made. Gareth you were small in stature but a giant of a man in all the ways that matter. I hope you are at peace and may your family take comfort in knowing that a community around the world shares their grief.

Any words i have are completely inadequate. It's heartwrenchng to see, and heartbreaking when you know Gareth is no longer with us. Clearly a generous, loving and exceptional person, who was denied what so many of us take for granted through no doing of his own. IRest in eternal peace Gareth Mason. Thank you for all you gave us.

RIP 🙏

RIP mate. You will continue to be a source of strength for me and all who knew you

RIP Brother 😔

RIP Gareth, we will miss you, brother.

I never knew you but I'm truly saddened that you're gone. You were such a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing a piece of your life with us G-Man.

RIP brother❤️

Love you my brother. Just heard the news today.🥺🥺🥺😢😢😢... 💔💔💔💔... The world has lost an Angel of Positivity. See ya mate. Blessings to your family.

So sorry to hear you passed away gareth you were an inspirational person to all rugby fans and many people around the world may you rest in peace. You will never be forgotten. 🇮🇪

Depression took so many this year already this is heartbreaking may your beautiful soul rest in Paradise🙏

RIP G-man. One of the best. Loved tuning in - we’re gonna miss you.

G-MAN!! apologies not necessary!! stay safe and never give up!!

Poor Guy! I hope you rest easy now G-Man. Everyone! look out for others if you sense they need help.

oh man this is heart breaking. I remember messaging you and asking if you had any advice for someone who would like to start a youtube channel and you responded "start, stay consistent and dont give up". These words inspired me to make a start. I want to say Thank you to you Gareth. Its sometimes hard to know the impact you have on others. But I can honestly say you have impacted me positively here on the other side of the world. Rest in love now bro.

RIP G MAN

We miss you Gareth! The world is a lesser place because you are not with us any more. If only you could see all our comments here. If anybody else is suffering from Anxiety or Depression I encourage you to reach out to somebody that you trust. There is help out there.

GMAN lived life to the full mate. Legend. 🙏Thank you. Made SA proud.

RIP Gareth you'll always be my favorite rugby streamer 🙌🏼❤️💚

Rest in paradise G man.You will be missed dearly brother 🙏🙏🙏

so sorry to hear of Gareths passing, love from wales.

Very sad loss he was my favourite Springbok support, really lovely bloke.

Head up G man.. We all go through bad patches but things always work out and get better.. All the best from Ireland pal 😊🇮🇪☘️

To anyone else like me who is seeing this a few weeks too late as I am, and watched the whole thing through, this is my message: this is one of the many faces of what a deep, intense depression can look like. Inability to cope, to perform daily activities, to safely grieve losses like relationships, to feel grounded in a sense of one's self... It's gravely serious. Therapy and anti-depressant medication is normally the strongest way to fight it, and telling your loved ones/support group is essential to inform your people of what you are going through and allow them to help how they can. If you feel like you're alone in this world, my heart aches for you, because that thought is suffocating, and yet it's not the only perspective... So give yourself the gift of grace, a free, unmerited favor of love, and the blessing of life, and give yourself lots of sleep and rest. Do not use your energy for others, do what you need to survive: work as we must to keep fed and housed, take medications and get therapy as necessary, but take as much space as you need from the social expectations. We all have our own timelines to getting better. If you or anyone that you know is battling depression, mental health issues, or having thoughts of self-harm, click on this link below and call your respective number. There are people all over the world who take these calls for free because we all know of someone who has battled with their mental health, and it's tragic when we lose another one of our bright lights to the sickness. And check in with your people about mental health, I try to do so at least once per month since a crisis in my circle last year. RIP Gareth, for you are now safe from the perils of our world. You will live on in our hearts, minds, words, and actions. Stay safe now and always friends, and let's not give up: for ourselves, first and foremost, but for the wishes of our friend G-Man. ibpf.org/resource/list-of-international-suicide-hotlines/

Gareth.... So sad to see you've gone. I had no idea until this video that you were struggling, and was about to offer support as a fellow youtuber that struggles with depression. I loved your passionate reviews with beautifully colourful wording. Win or lose. God Bless you and may you rest in peace.
