It’s crazy when a person you never met but listened to for 8 years has such an impact on you Thanks for the likes this is my first time being top comment and it’s very special to me on such a important video it’s crazy that so many people think and feel the same way as me
Yeah started watching because of battlefield friends back in bf4 days, we will miss you thick 44 what and epic edition you where. This channel lost there only good player in fps games :( very sad now :(
I still revisit this video once in awhile to remember him and hear the guys talk about him. What an absolute fantastic human being. What a GROUP of absolute fantastic human beings. We love you Thick!
Indeed. The greatest loss in life is not death. The greatest loss is what dies within us while we are still alive. And The Human Man Warrior shall forever live on!
I really like the sentiment that Thick’s not really gone, he’s just off on his own adventures. Riding a wyvern, chasing a unicorn, looting a house… he’ll circle back up with us later
When Thick started playing the guitar at the end, for a split second I thought he was gonna say “Got ya I’m still here idiots”. What a legend, love you guys. RIP the only man who was somebody.
Febuary 13 is the 44th day of the year.... Thick44 day of passing... lets keep this day as THICK44 DAY on the 44th day of the year every year... so we shall always keep him in our hearts and minds forever
The fact that I, a 40 year old grown ass man am sitting thousands of miles away on another continent with tears in my eyes over someone I have never met just confirms how much of an impact you all have on people all around the world. Even I wasn't aware of just how much you guys had affected my life until I saw the announcement and it was like a punch to the gut. All hail the wyvern king!
You are one of us! Thick44 is one of us. All of neebs gaming is us. That's why it hit this hard. Never forget that. Heck I'm 43 🤣! Had to take a seat when I read the news.
I'm going to miss his voice. Miss him shouting Thick44 after winning a battle... crazy how someone you've never even met in person can feel like a loss. Rest in peace you beautiful human man warrior!! 💔
Me too! As I’ve been watching the videos lately, I kept feeling like something wasn’t right and I realized it was because Thick wasn’t in it. It made me realize how much I missed his voice.
Thick 44. While you are no longer here with us in your physical body. You still live through this channel and the fans of the channel. He lives in the hearts of everyone who remembers him. And he lives on in the videos that he was in. We will never forget you, Tony Schnur. Rest in peace and wherever you are now, we hope you are happy with your family and friends that you have lost before.
I've sat here for 20-30 minutes now, thinking about how to write this. Tony got diagnosed with cancer about the same time my mother did. They both were going to Duke for treatment. I shared what he was going through with her, as she also has cancer, 5 lesions in her brain, and his sharing helped me understand more about it. She constantly asked for his updates, and I shared what I could as this channel shared those updates with us. I believe knowing someone I "knew" was fighting alongside her kept her strong through treatment. When Tony had to go back in, she was so distraught. My parents added him to their daily prayers, they never knew him, but we saw what my mother was going through, and at that point, anything we could do may make a difference, so we did. Learning of Tony's departure was pretty rough, not just for me but also her. She never met him, but she cared about him just as much as one of my siblings it felt like every time she asked. We are going to miss you Tony. Thank you for helping us, even though you never knew you were.
Thats a nice story man. I understand what you're saying. I have seen a lot of my clients go through distressing times. It helps to build your compassion and understanding. I look at it as a good thing. It's no comfort for the victim or anyone affected by something, but we learn a lot from other people's struggles, and they often show us how to have strength in our own lives. They teach us more than they will ever know.
Can't do it. Made it 30 seconds in and about to cry. 30 years old construction worker and I'm about to cry over a guy I never met. Thick, you will be missed sir. Thanks for all the good times.
Just ran into someone in public while wearing my thick44 shirt (which I also wore when my baby was born) and had a fun little conversation about Thick. Man touched so many peoples lives, and he will never be forgotten. Love to you all, and RIP Thick.
10 years ago, if you told me i would cry over a man i never met, i would have called you crazy. today, i shed tears for you freely. we love you thick44. you have made everyone who watches these videos lives better just by being there. long live the wyvern king. all of us were thick'ed by cancer when we lost you bud
It’s crazy to feel when someone you’ve never met or talk to passes away and you are slammed with all these emotions. I’m a 33year old man tearing up over a grown ass man I’ve never met. Love you guys! LONG LIVE THE WYVERN KING!
As a fellow 33 year old man I was getting misty eyed during their stories and pictures of him. Never had the pleasure of meeting him but will never forget his part in the hundreds of hours of their content I've consumed over the years. I wish all the best for his family. Losing a loved one to cancer is so hard.
You guys eulogized Thick in the best possible way you could, being able to laugh at the times you had together. His presence will be sorely missed, and honestly, take what time you need to grieve. Rest in peace, Tony Schnur.
It was a lot like an Irish wake. Talking about all the things those guys did and experienced together. A bittersweet send off to the Human Man Warrior.
What they said about thick looting heaven had me in stitches. Guess there is no point wondering about whether there is an afterlife, if there is, everythings already been looted.
Man, I didn't know until today. I had an Army bud who had laryngeal cancer while in service. He was 44. We were in the 82nd Infantry together, and I was 29. We were the "old men". He asked me to do a real hard workout with him, then later that Friday we partied like he wasn't sick. I drove him home, and he let me know that was probably the last time I'd see him. It was. RIP Thick
I never understood people getting upset over someone they only watched eg queen etc, then today happened.....first time in my life I've opened cried over someone I've never met but definitely watched and enjoyed for what 8-10years..... truly heartbroken
Man, what the actual fuck.. I go on a hiatus and come back to Thick having passed.. To say Im actually hurt and tears running down my face is an understatement.. Im sorry guys, Ive been with you lot from the start, and it hurts almost as much as losing an actual family member.. Rest In Peace Thick, you brought many of us years of joy, and hopefully the future generations from the videos that exist already... 😭😭
Honestly worst fear for me is losing someone special nothing can ever compare to it i always thought what would i do if a youtuber special to me died i never thought I'd cry this much and my heart is just dust now i was wondering about why was thick not in conan he really loved it and i just saw the easter egg in the volcano and was so shocked i just don't want to believe it
@@spiderhouse9809 I know that feeling. My dad died in a murder suicide and now my biggest fear is the day my mom dies. I fully expect I'll die soon thereafter.
I too, took a break from youtube. Realized I wasn't hearing Thick in the new videos. Feared he had passed and here we are. It's weird that a man you never met can have such an affect.
I’m a grown man, crying in my fire department tryin to explain to all my guys how someone I’ve never met can have such an affect. You guys have helped me through so much in the last 7 yrs. I love you guys and I’ll keep you all in my heart. R.I.P Tony Schnur you will be missed 😢
That was the hardest thing for me too. How do you explain this feeling to people who don't belong to an online community like this. I went to work and tried to just set it aside so I didn't have to try and explain. Ended up leaving early with a splitting headache that wouldn't go away.
Im a Grown ass man in his 30th and I'm crying to its all good mate just means he ment a lot to you over the years.Tony you will be missed mate RIP human man Warrior
Ya idk about that crazy chick that left WORK EARLY because of this... but, this is the weirdest/hardest part. Thankfully I have my wife who also loves neebs to grieve with.
@Cameron Phillips can't tell if you are referring to my comment but if you are I left work early because of a headache. An actual headache, it wasn't just an excuse so I could leave..
I have stage 4 lung cancer. I began watching you guys before I knew about Thicks fight. After I found out it pulled me in more. I'm a 51 year old man who wishes he had the circle of friends that you guys do. Never take that for granted. Thick made me laugh when I didnt want to. You all have. Thank you Thick and all of you. Thank you.
@@Gamerafighter76I had just stopped watching right after they had Glock9 on the channel for a 7 days series. This broke a little while after and I had to revisit the channel for a few old Ark vids
He and Simon getting into trouble and ending in Simon getting thicked were some of the biggest laughs I've had, he was amazing and he will continue to be so forever.
Was around 18 or 17 , when I found these guys. I've been up to date with these guys since the core beginning. That being said, I am 30 now. God bless your soul Tony xo 🙏
I started watching them when I was in like 8th grade which was 2011-2012. I’m 25 now, this was a surprise to hear. I was sure he would kick cancers ass, but you can’t win every time. He’ll be missed.
i remember i started watching neebs and scrap man for the scrap mechanic content a year or 2 after one of my previous favorite youtubers (kitty0706) was taken by cancer, i used to just go home after school, pop on youtube and binge the scrap mechanic and ark videos and honestly those were some of the best moments of my life. thick was the whole reason i wanted to play ark because the wyverns seemed so fun. Rest in Peace to a real one.
@@xFukairix No shit. That's why we love Thick. He made us laugh. That heart thicking SOB. My heart's been thoroughly Thick'd. its full of... I've said too much. Good night sweet prince. I'm gonna go now.
I’ll always stop to watch this video when it comes up on my algorithm. Thank you Thick for all the laughs that we still get from the videos you made. The legend will forever live on
Feel like I’m choking back tears for someone I never met. RIP The wyvern king and to all of thick’s enemies, you’re still nothing. Prayers to anyone who has been effected by this tragedy.
For the first time in years I just cried like a newborn. Guess I got Thick'd. This is an amazing tribute to the man, the myth, the legend. Gonna miss you man.
Hearing them all laugh, and not hearing thicks laugh among them absolutely breaks my heart. Their group laughs brought so much joy, now there will always be a piece missing which makes me very sad
I really hate cancer, I hope they get a definitive cure as soon as possible, this terrible disease has taken too many lives and has left many people in a very bad condition (but, sadly, it doesn't seem like it's going to be soon). Rest In Paradise, Tony, you and everyone who couldn't survive this awful illness... 🙏🕊️
This is the first time I’ve cried since my grandfather passed a decade ago, and it’s for a man I’ve never met. Thank you for everything Thick, we love you.
Thank you guys for your tribute to him. Please don't hesitate to mention him in future videos -- I don't think any of us want to pretend he never existed just because he's gone.
@Darius Bostic don’t bring that hateful shit here man. This is a place to celebrate a real man who impacted real lives. And also mourn his death. Not to spout that crap.
Towards the end there you could really tell even brought a tear to this old mans face and i've never met any of them. But watching the whole gang each week kinda made you feel like it was just catching up with a bunch of friends for me. RIP Thick.
I was fine watching the entire video, up until the end when they each said "Thank you Thick". Then yeah, tears. We lost a member of a RU-vid channel we love, they lost a brother, and you could hear it in their voices.
sitting in my home office crying tears for a man I've never met. We needed this video, so thank you to the guys. From the newest Neebs fans, to those who've been around from the beginning. I think I speak for everyone when I say I've never felt more like one of the guys than while listening to you talk about your love and memories of Thick 44. We love you.
Man I just started crying as soon as I read the title. I've been following them for as long as I can remember and thinking about it, I'm just happy that I had the chance to have someone like Tony be a part of my life even if I didn't meet him in person and I will forever be grateful for that. RIP Thick44.
Thanks for showing up today, guys. I know you all promote peace and positivity, but it would have been completely understandable if any or none of you wanted to do this and take some time. So again, thanks. And hail to the wyvern king.
This hurts. I got diagnosed with lung cancer about the same timeframe as Thick’s diagnosis. Went through chemo and radiation last winter/spring, but it came back in October. The new round of treatments has really gotten to me mentally but I found inspiration in Thick’s fight with his cancer. Hearing he lost his fight has really hit me hard, and shaken my confidence in my own battle. I beg anyone that reads this, if you know anyone with cancer regardless of if it’s in remission or not, spend time with them. Make memories. Share feelings. Hope for the best but don’t assume you have plenty of time with them. Thick, thank you for the laughs and all the thick’d moments. Give Cooter love from the community. Fly high my liege.
Keep fighting! My mom got diagnosed with lang cancer a year ago... It is terminal... I try to be there as much as possible. I wish u the best and wish u courage! Beat that dreadfull disease.
I am a 50+ yo man. Tears streaming from my face, over a guy I've never met. You guys have been a light in my darkness since the escapist days. I love you all & this community. I hope everyone is as well as can be. Shred in piece, human man warrior, and Wyvern King. You will be missed.
As a guy who got diagnosed with brain cancer in late 2020 this breaks my heart and honestly scares me......I have been a fan of you guys since the doraleous and associates series and I remember seeing the video posted that thick had brain cancer months ago so I came to see if there was any good news but this was the last thing I was hoping to hear.....so sorry for your loss guys
Welp, I wanted to tell this story to Thick myself but I waited to long. I'm gonna start off saying I'm sorry to everyone for our loss and he will be loved and missed. When my daughter was 5 she got bit by a bug on her face at night and had an allergic reaction. I went to get her up in the morning and her lip was swollen so bad she looked like one of the Simpsons. My husband and I took her up to the clinic where they confirmed yup that's a bug bite and told her she was going to get a steroid shot and some allergy medicine. All my 5 y/o heard was "shot" and got scared. we explained to her what it was and she said, "Oh, like Thick 44" and we said yeah. Just like Thick 44. She gets the shot with no complaint or wince, nothing. The doctor leaves the room and no sooner had that door closed she looks at me. I watch her face turn red and her eyes dilated and she starts yelling "You staring at my girlfriend? Hu? Do you even lift? HOW MUCH YOU BENCH!!!! YOU"RE NOBODY" as loud as she can. We where just rolling we where laughing so hard, but yeah... that's how Thick helped my daughter not be scared of getting shots anymore. Thanks you guys and all the best from Wyoming
That was an awesome story! 🤣🤣 That's why he did though....he did it to keep us laughing and make us smile. He did it so good it's kinda everywhere. You have a good kid my friend! Hilarious 🤣🤣!
I swear if DICE don’t commemorate Thick in their next BF game with something….. anything……. they would lose all my respect. He made me love BF3/4 even more. Rest in power Thick. You’ll definitely be missed……
You know how close and comfortable these guys were with each other when you're dunking on him after his passing. I had the same with a friend who passed young and his mom was happy that our memories are all those of laughter.
Neebs Gaming was my favorite channel when I was younger, every now and then I'll come back and watch a new series. I'll never forget all the times everyone got Thicked. Rest in peace Thick we will all miss you.
Same. Been watching them for about 9 years now and I won’t lie. I don’t know how they’re able to be so positive. I’ve never personally met the man and I’m destroyed.
Thick44, you inspired me to play as a sniper from bf3 to present day 2042. Rest easy Recon, we'll keep your sniper spots warm and our shots true in your honor.❤
I find myself crying at random times for someone I have never met, who became a brother to me without me even knowing... That's how good that SOB was, I hear his voice everyday bc I listen or watch Neebs everyday, like all of us... I am watching everything I can find with him in it just to hear his voice, hope that's not weird, stay strong and smile everybody, let's celebrate and take a shot, it has been an honor and a privilege to be entertained by such an amazing fellow
Don't feel wierd about crying for him. I have too. I think the difference between these guys and other youtubers and celebs is that they REALLY connected with all of us. They have the best community in the world and so to us they are family.
I cried as soon as i saw. Had been dreading to see that post and as soon as i saw it, I knew what it was, started crying immediately. RIP TONY . You guys are amazing. I can't imagine what you are going thru love and prayers to all of you.
Man, I’m so sad. I thought he was going to be okay because of the lighthearted spirit he had throughout his diagnosis, from the animations in the beginning to the Supercuts that you guys put together, I’ve been watching you guys almost all my life, and appreciate you guys getting me and others out of hard times. Thank you everyone for providing us with amazing content and thank you thick for the badass music throughout the years. Gone but never forgotten. RIP thick 44
Holy crap, I’m so new to your guys videos. Seriously I watched my first video maybe 3 days ago. I’m so sorry for your guys loss. The connection that you guys have, you can feel through the screen. Extremely sorry for your loss! RIP Thick44
RIP THICK, ALL YOU GUYS ARE PART OF MY HOME. IM ALWAYS REPEATING UR CLIPS... THICK ALWAYS HAD ME HANGING OUT OF MY CHAIR WITH HIS FUNNY AND ON POINT ROLLS. THICK WAS THE REASON I MOVED FROM TV TO RU-vid. WHICH IS A GREAT THING BECAUSE NEWS IS ALL NEG. NOW... THICK MAN THANK YOU SOO MUCH,MAY YOU REST SIDE BY SIDE WITH AN ANGLE OF GOD. FROM SUPER CUTS TO Battlefield TO ME !!! I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!!! THANKS BROTHER, .......from just a unknown fan!!!!!
Whoever started chopping onions, u can stop now. "Remember, kid, there's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Follow your heart, kid, and you'll never go wrong." RIP THICK44
Man I stopped watching the channel for a few years and come back then this is the first thing I see, absolutely heartbreaking, he’s gonna leave a hole in the channel, sorry for your guys’s loss
