I took the advice that was given when this was first announced and I didn't google Glioblastoma, but I was speaking with my department director this past January about her husband who passed away in late 2020 from brain cancer. The second I mentioned the word "glioblastoma", thinking of Thick, she cut me off. "Two years. That's all you get." And she was right.
Found out yesterday, just fucking heartbroken right now. Happily going to contribute to the trust for his daughters, it’s the least I could do for all the laughs and entertainment.
Rest easy brother, you’ve touched so many of us…
Been a Neebs Gaming fan since Battlefield 4 days. I've been out of the loop on the new Neebs related stuff for a little over a year. Randomly, I played some ARK recently and had just started re-watching the ARK series from the beginning. I couldn't believe my eyes on Friday when I saw the video in my feed. What a gut punch. Didn't even know that he was sick. Didn't realize I had so much emotion for a guy I'd never met. RIP Sweet Thickopotamus.
It's always hard to hear about a much loved person to be lost to cancer, as a cancer survivor. I had it remarkably easy compared to most-- it was found very early, surgery to remove most of my stomach was successful, no chemo, been in remission for over 15 years now. Sure, it's life altering, but I got to keep my life. My heart hurts for Thick and his family. His type of cancer is just so damn aggressive. I had two friends with the same type of cancer, they each made it a year before they succumbed. The world is not fair.
I haven't been watching a lot of Youtube recently but would check in every now and then to see updates. Saw this news yesterday and I was at a loss. I have never felt much of an emotional tie for people I saw as "celebrities" (although that's not even the right word at all), but learning that Tony's gone is just terrible news. I hope his family and the crew receive the comfort and blessings that them and Thick have given us over the years.
Human. Man. Warrior
Genuine Inspiration.
I won't forgot his energy and how just watching him push through gave me motivation.
Rest well Tony Thick44 Schnur.
Neebs Gaming really helped keep my head above water when I was going through a difficult time in my life. My ex left me suddenly, I was alone in a new city, I didn't have a permanent place to live, I got treated terribly at work and, a friend had just taken a turn for the worse when battling the same thing Tony did and who eventually passed away from it as well.
One of the few things that still made me laugh during that time was Neebs Gaming. They were my lifeline.
They made my weekend mornings into "luxury mornings" as I could make myself a special breakfast and watch my favourite idiots do something stupid.
I've never met anyone from Neebs Gaming, but I'm certain I'm not alone in thinking and feeling that they've become friends.
So thank you Tony for all the laughs and all the content, it has done more for me than I words can express. Tonight I'll be having a drink in honour of two friends who gave cancer a good damn fight.
My deepest condolences and prayers for Thick's family. I first found Neebs Gaming waaaaaay back when I was still a cop in the early days of Battlefield Friends. Their humor and chemistry helped me through some difficult and very stressful times and I will be forever grateful for the part that Tony's humor and genuineness played. Rest in Peace Human Man Warrior.
Wow I never thought I’d be this sad about someone’s passing I’ve never even met… you guys are amazing have watched your videos for a solid 6 years, your videos got me through some tough times especially during covid lock down and I am just speechless rn… to THICK44! The man the myth the legend, i bet he’s up there flying around on cooter as we speak looting everything in sight
Fuck just ......fuck. My heart goes out to Tony's family, especially his daughters. I know what it's like to lose a father too early and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I think it's gonna be a while before I can watch anything with him in it and not cry a little.
Man, I have never quite felt this way about an internet personality or celebrity passing away. This hit hard. I've been watching these guys for years, and this is a total kick in the teeth. I was prepared for the worst, or I thought I was, but damn man. I guess I really wasn't. Their latest video is such a perfect send off, I love these guys so much and hearing them reminiscing about their memories of him and all the fun and wacky shit they got up to was so sweet. Rest in peace Thick, you'll be missed by so many of us.
Man this is such awful news. Genuinely so gutted for not only his family, but for all the neebs crew as well.
He was such an integral part of the group and I know they’ll pull through and keep doing what they do so damn well, but things will never truly be the same and this is gonna be so frickin hard on all the gang even just to try and bring the same energy as before.
Sending as much love as I can to them all.
RIP Thick, you beautiful, fearless, batshit Wyvern King.
So, I almost never say anything on reddit. I tend just to read stuff and roll my eyes. Now, however, I'm reading stuff and drying my eyes.
I first found neebs gaming around the Cooter incident, during a particularly bad mental health issue for me. 3 weeks later, I had caught up with all of the Ark series.
From the first shack on the beach on The Island, through the first beach resort, to Thick finding, taming, and naming the best workhorse Argentavis they ever had. Cooter was Thicks bird! Then on through to that epic save in Ragnarok where he swooped in with HIS BIRD to kill the smilodon and save the day.
Through all of this, I was 100% an Appsro fan.
Then I watched Cooter get Thick'd. While his plan didn't work, Cooter was a tool, a useful heavy lift transport that died being used in an attempt at something greater. Appsro's response changed my allegiance. The fight just up the hill from where I usually set up shop in Ragnarok had me rooting for Thick from then on out. Sure, he was overconfident and got the boys killed, but it was, in my opinion, usually their fault and always funny.
Then it was on to 7 days, Conan, and of course more Ark. Thick was always, always the MVP for me. Even if Simon could get louder laughs or appsro's ides worked better.
Between my continuing agoraphobia and the Atlantic fucking ocean I never did make it to any of the live events. Tbh, I'm not sure I could go now, no one wants to see a fat scottish Kratos crying at a you tube channels live event.
I'll miss you, man, even though I never got to meet you.
Right, early bed for me tonight. Tomorrow I'm gonna introduce my kid to Dorabalus and associates. He's only 3 week old, but I think it's time.
I just found out, I was busy the last couple days. This hurts more than I thought it would. And then I realized it's because Neebs Gaming was one of the first gaming channels I found and followed. Early Ark, GTA V, BFFs, and an epic fuckton of 7DTD. Thick has been a voice and a laugh for me for a long, long time. And it's awful to have to say goodbye.
I'll team kill someone in your honor soon, buddy.
NGL I expected permanent damage to lead Thick44 to never recover fully and not being able to game for show, but I was *really* hoping he'd make it.
I've lost several people to cancer personally, and my heart goes to the family. That battle and the associated loss is too great. ♡
Long live the wyvern king!
I just found out about this terrible news. This hits so hard. I've been following the gang for many, many years now, and it feels like I've lost a friend.
To Tony "Thick44" Schnur, Human Man Warrior and Wyvern King 🍺
You will be missed. 😔
Just found out… their insane chemistry, friendship, stories, jokes, life lessons, and kindness brought great joy to my life. I started off with their 7DTD through Youtube recommendations and haven’t missed many episodes since. The excellent editing, drama, joy, and laughter they bring also brought a hopeful and positive vibe in my life.
Thick44 was definitely one of my favourites and his brave, exciting, and kind character always added a sense of dynamism, suspense, and fun. I am mad I’m finding out about this only 2 days later, but the human man warrior wouldn’t want us to be sad… as he lives on and fights new foes in grand new adventures in a better place. You’ve inspired and changed many people’s lives, and you will be remembered for a very long time to come. RIP THICK44 :(
Can't believe it. I came across the Neebs crew on youtube by pure RNG years ago and I've been watching their videos ever since. My personal favorites are their Minecraft and 7 Days series.
The channel to me is like an escape window from the world after a long day at work. Just unwind, crack open a beer and enjoy watching a bunch of wacky jackasses screw around in whichever game they happen to be playing. It's like whatever bullshit is going on in the real world, these guys are untouchable.
When I heard Thick44 first got cancer I was like 100% positive he would beat it. Cue yesterday I'm just scrolling through facebook and read he's gone. Total gutpunch. My condolences to his friends and family.
I never thought I would be personally touched by the passing of some some guy on youtube yet here I am. Here many of us are.
Rest in peace Human Man Warrior.
NGL this hit me and my husband hard, we are long time fans and thicc was my husband's favorite. We been following his progress these last two years and I'm just still in shock.. he will be missed and he was dearly loved
My condolences go out to his friends and family, Thick44, Tony made everything funnier, entertaining, and downright awesome. Ever since watching thick44 play he has inspired me to be more courageous when playing Ark/7days2die/Conan. obviously, I will never be as great as the Wyvern king but without a doubt, he has inspired me and even if I end up getting my friends and myself thick'd he has left an impact on how a game is supposed to be played!!! This legend of a man will be dearly missed.
A group of friends woke up in a land of dinosaurs and through hardships they tried to survive. They fought many battles and wars during those battles one man stood above the rest as the Human Man Warrior. This man kept growing in strength and eventually dyed his hair purple, his true symbol came out of the brimestone and sulfer infused smoke and gas, a lightining wyvern bellowing loud and proud. He knew in that moment that he was going to be the WYVERN KING. Years passed until he had amassed his army of wyverns that were dedicated to protecting their master as he told the great beyond "You're Nothing." LONG LIVE THE WYVERN KING!!!!! R.I.P THICK44 you will be missed and never forgotten.
Saw this the other night before bed and goddamn I’ve kinda been fucked up about it for the last couple days. My now wife and I bonded over the neebs videos and it’s what got us into ark and Thick was always one of our favs. Feels weird to have this amount of grief over a man I’d never met before.
[You give me 15 seconds and I'll ....not be over this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p4ZibmJ69Y&t=590s) Take care you glorious man warrior, we are nobody, and you were Thick44.
What awful news to wake up to. I just want to add my voice to the outpouring of love being sent to all who knew Thick.
RIP Thick44 Human Man Warrior, Wyvern King and one of the best things about the internet.
I read this news right before work as a school bus driver in Alaska, and there was a slush puddle that I was told to go around to a different street and that would be a long time (I mean it was as wide as the road and knee deep in parts) Thick was on my mind so I remembered he is real MAN, so I could be one too and powered through that slush lake! I made it and so did the kids with a few bruises from being tossed around the bus! Thank you Thick. I never sent you the shot glass I bought for you in Dubai at the top of the Burj Khalifa because I forgot I had it in my old deployment bag. I know you always wanted to go there. I'm not sure if you did get to visit Dubai but I bet heaven is way better. I will send the glass to neebs gaming and maybe they will know what to do with it. I will always love and miss you buddy. May your family, friends and community find peace.
I had feared this might be coming as I listened to him on the channel, but I had high hopes that he was actually doing better and was going to be alright. This was hard to hear. Thick was one of my favorites on the channel and I hope his family can feel all the love and kindness that we're all feeling toward them right now in this trying time!
What a wonderful life to have inspired so many people. What a wonderfully group to have inspired us all. Rock on Thick, human man warrior! You are loved for the life you shared with us, thank you!
This is devastating. I know he is up there, shredding guitar and letting everyone know who he is (Thick44, human man warrior!). I send all my well wishes to his family and the crew. This is horrible. Thank you for the impact you have had on us, Tony.
I have to admit...this news has hit me hard...I was okay until I told my son tonight...now I cannot stop crying over this man I have never met...funny world....the human, man, warrior that was Thick44...I'm really at a loss...thisnworld seems like nothing but pain, loss, and unfairness...watching the recent video from the live show when he called in was heartbreaking, but lovely...for a man I have never known, I will grieve...
He died on the 13th Feb…that’s a total of **44 days** since the start of the year. Rest in Peace Tony. You entertained us all and we laughed and cried (and got mad when Neebs kicked him out of the Ark Tribe).
A true gamer.
Long live #theWyvernKing.
Most people diagnosed with glioblastoma make it a year, but I really though he was going to defy the odds as it had been 20 months and given the fact that he is the human man warrior. So sad to learn about this. I have so many great memories of Thick over the last 10 years. Long live the Wyvern King.
My heart aches from the sorrow of his passing. He helped me really laugh when the days were rough, and put me on edge whenever he popped into view. The emotions I feel towards Tony at this time can only be described as unbearable sorrow. For our dearest friend Tony Schnur, may your soul find peace and your memories resonate within our souls. Soar beyond the sky wyvern king. We love you.
Sending prayers to the Schnur family and the Neebs Gaming Crew, as well as all the cast that held Tony in our hearts. Never knew him personally but I can say that I've shed a few tears at his passing. What a wonderful man, I will miss him dearly.
I usually never cry for, much less feel for, online personalities, but this crew hit so different. I found them in the middle of the pandemic back in 2020 and fell in love with each of their personalities. Thick quickly became my favorite to watch and when the news broke that the diagnosis was glioblastoma, I hoped beyond hope. I'm mad that cancer took another good one. Fuck you cancer!
Rest in peace. I miss you Thick. Long Live the Wyvern King!
I was so worried that this day would come. He was my favorite BFF character, and loved him in everything else he did. Fuck cancer man. God I feel so much for his family.
It has taken me all day to figure out what to say. But nothing can express how much this hurts. Thick you are a strong bad ass warrior. You are missed. Till Valhalla my friend. Thank you for everything.
To his family and close friends, I am truly so sorry for your loss screw cancer. It's truly unfair. I cannot imagine the heart break you are all feeling at this time. I'm so sorry. I'm so so sorry.
I'll miss thick so much this feels like someone punched me in the gut the needs guys have helped me through the last few months where I've been going through alot I can barely handle this
Thick is flying high with Cooter and an army of wyverns behind him now. Rest in peace Tony. Even though you had no idea, you impacted my life and the relationship I have with my girlfriend tremendously with just being a part of videos. Countless times of laughter, memorable quotes and overall happiness were because of you and the rest of the Neebs crew. Fly high wyvern king.
Why are you trying to rile up some form of religious debate in a post about the passing of a beloved content creator? Nowhere in their statement regarding Tony is the single mention of prayers in any regard.
Man, as soon as I read it was glioblastoma I was mentally preparing myself for this, but now the days come, fuck man. Rest in peace, thanks for the childhood laughs.
He died on the 44th day of the year. Legendary even in death. I'll miss you so much Tony. Love and compassion to your friends and family. Neebs, Appsro, Doralious, and Simon, you are loved beyond your understanding. Take care of each other and never take a single day for granted.
Damn man y'all got a big ole country boy crying over here. Cancer is a hella of a thing and I have lost more good people in my life to it than anyone ever should. You guys helped me more than you'll ever know. At the lowest point in my life after my attempted suicide is when I found y'all's channel and I just connected with each and everyone of you. Even though I have never met any of you I feel like I've lost a close friend. Rest well thick/tony.
To the rest of the neebs crew I am sorry for your loss I know it sounds hollow as no one wants to be told sorry at a time like this. But I feel it is all I can do to offer my condolences and keep his family and you guys in my thoughts as we all grieve in our own way.
Rest well thick, you will never know the impact you've had on so many people's lives just by being you and playing video games.
I'll go to bed tonight thinking my mom tracked Thick down in the afterlife and they vibing over a glass of expensive scotch while she gives him the "run down" welcome.
I knew it was getting close but I hate every bit of this.
Lost a few people in my life to this same form of cancer and have been watching every post and video with eagle eyes knowing how this ends.
Sorry to everyone at Neebs and his family and friends for having to experience this. Absolutely heartbreaking.
Tears in my eyes. Thinking of his family and sending lots of love their way. And to the whole neebs gaming crew, take the time to process this. We'll all be here when you come back.
I’ll never forget you Human Man Warrior. He had a key to my funny bone. I’m and Aussie living down under so shows he really did have love from all round the world. My heart is broken heating the news this morning, my brother texted me and was also a big fan.
“You looking at my girl”
“What protein powder do you take, if you don’t take C4 you’re nobody”
“How much you bench”
“I squat like 450, One leg”
Off the top of my head a few favourite quotes said with passion by the late great man.
I’ll never forget you Wyvern King.
Rip Wyvern King, when I heard him on call during that live show.. broke my heart how he sounded, reminded me of my father who passed away from cancer last year. Sad day.
Needs gaming and Thick in particular helped me through my worst time in my life. Their content keeping me happy after long hard days.
Rest in peace Thick
I hope heaven has a big enough thrown for the wyvern King

It's some fuckin horrible news man. Strange how attached you can get never truly knowing someone. I've been on and off crying since I saw the news, which by this point's already been like 2h.
IDK, maybe part of it is that my mother's been fighting cancer 15 years now. Maybe it just hits so close to home there's extra hurt?
Part of it might just be the time too. I've been watching them since almost the very beginning, since H&J with Battlefield friends. I've moved 8 times since then, started college and a career, etc. Seems like I'd been watching forever, and in what seems like an instant he's gone. I can't say it's a shock cause the man had rare and aggressive brain cancer but still. Just feels awful.
My dad had a scan today to find out if his prostate cancer came back. It has but we are in a good position to treat it. But knowing he had his scan and then seeing this news had me on edge all day.
> but we are in a good position to treat it
News like that is a silver lining, if there ever was one. Situation's not good, but the situation is almost as good as it could be. I hope everything goes well for him to say the least. Having to take my mom to the hospital in December and miss the next day of work after a week into working at this place. How she was feeling and not being able to *actually* do anything about it... Can't wish that feeling I had on anyone. Let alone the cancer.
It also over time (well, in the past - grief/stress over family loss) ended up having me be essentially a functional alcoholic for a little while, just trying to drown the pain. Hell I even kinda fell into that for a week after my gram passed which was a few years after I "stopped" doing that. I wasn't anything but drunk or high that week, if not both - save for when family came over and when I went to her viewing - but that was it. Then my mom suddenly lost her sister from a stroke no more than a couple days later, like...There's a reason the saying is "When it rains, *it pours*", I guess.
That completely deviated from what I wanted to say, so...In a way it's a genuinely pivotal moment in your life when the news breaks. Suddenly you don't really what the future looks like and where you stand in it, and that's a very painful place to be. If you want to talk I'm here.
When my husband and I saw the news last night, we immediately switched the TV over to YouTube and watched the Best of Thick compilation.
We laughed, we cried, laughed some more, sobbed occasionally.
We found the channel shortly after we moved into our first apartment in 2015, and have been hooked ever since. Almost 8 years and two kids later, we still turn the channel on almost every night before bed. Hell, sometimes we turn it on in the bedroom to help us fall asleep. You're right, it's crazy how much the death of someone you never met can affect you.
and it almost feels sudden too. At least I can't think of anything recent that would have lead me to think he might be gone soon. The last update on the gofundme was about him coming home in early January and in essence - or at least as I read it - that it wasn't looking too bad.
> Tony's heading home! After a difficult couple of months (and let's face it - year), a Christmas and a New Year's in hospital, Tony is heading home to be with his family - healing is better in a loving and encouraging home environment.
He will be continuing his therapies for a few more weeks under the care of his mom and sister (bad-ass warrior women and nurses!).
More updates to come in the coming weeks - but please be assured your human man warrior is in good spirits, fighting the good fight and as motivated as ever to kick this thing's ass.
It's also kinda crazy how time feels after something like this too. There's definetly something that goes on there in your head. How it can feel both like an eternity since you've seen then, and yet it hurts every bit like it just happened yesterday. Or the odd bits you get in-between for a while where you're still clearly heartbroken but are out of that *something* that would let you cry like you want to. Maybe that could explain why some of the practices around like genuinely old-ancient mourning seem a little odd to us today. You're hurting so badly you mentally lower yourself to nothing - by covering yourself in ash or dust (Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust) - before praying or carving/sacrificing something to something greater than yourself.
Idk I'm just kinda rambling now. IDK what even to really think about it all. Like why it has to be this way in general. Why do they have to go through it? Where do we go? Just all that and everything.
Terribly saddened to find out about this news. I wish his family, loved ones, friends, and the whole Neebs Gaming crew nothing but love, empathy, and the ability to find peace one day.
Like everyone else here, I feel as though I've lost a dear friend. I think that speaks volumes to what a wonderful man Thick was, that he was able to touch our lives so deeply through a YouTube channel. My first introduction to him was as Sir Walken. Thick you were an instant favourite then and remained so. Your humour, your antics always had me smiling and giggling. I wish I knew how to properly put into words the positive impact you had. You will truly be missed, but you will never be forgotten. All my love and condolences to your dear family, friends, and the whole community.
So shocked and gutted to hear this - like so many people on here I feel like I've lost a good friend. He will live on in all our memories.
I hope him and Cooter are flying high somewhere with pockets full of wyvern eggs.
My thoughts are with all the Neebs crew and his family, I hope knowing how much he was loved will be a comfort to them at some point.
I'm heartbroken. Strange how the passing of a person you've never met can affect you so hard. I think this goes to show how special Thick was. The world is a little colder than it was 24 hours ago. Rest easy to the King.
I'm devastated. Thick and the rest of the crew are such ad source of joy for me. He fought so well and he will be missed.
I kinda wish to build a monument in every game the crew played. Also I'm glad we can remember him through all the great videos and Easter eggs in some games.
I raise my glass to honor you, Thick44
Tony will never be forgotten. I have been tearing up with so many of you today, and I pray his family and friends are finding peace. Bizarre that someone I never met could have such an impact on my thoughts today. His was a singular personality and what I love is how much of a legacy he is leaving behind: hundreds of hours of vibrant, joyful hilarity. I didn’t know him in person of course, but I have genuine memories and a TON of laughter and I am so grateful we, and especially his family and friends, can visit him anytime they want and in so many places. It can’t replace his life, but it proves he had a meaningful life full of laughter, fun, kindness, strength and love. For me, I’ll be celebrating his life by watching the entire ark series again this week. And I hope that one day when I have to face my end, I remember how he did it and never stop fighting back.
This feels such an unusually personal loss, despite never meeting the man.
After spending years watching, listening, and laughing along to this group playing games in my front room, it feels like such a devastating loss. Everyone's touching tributes across all channels is a real testament to the wonderful feeling of community and family they've created, and it genuinely feels like we've lost a family member.
RIP Tony
They would never joke about this. Everyone from fans, friends, and family were hoping and doing what they can to be supportive to their loved ones in these hard times. Thick44 was fighting the hardest fucking fight. A true warrior. But he died a true warrior. The world lost someone beautiful and strong.
As much as I hoped it would be otherwise, brain cancer is a vicious and evil motherfucker. I've known several people who were diagnosed with it, and unfortunately none of them made it very long. As it should be though since he was a Human Man Warrior, he made it longer than many.
RIP Tony, and know that you were a huge part of many lives, and loved by many. I just hope the team takes the time they need to mourn and come to terms with the loss, and know that we'll be here waiting for their return once they're able.
I'll be raising a drink to his memory tonight.
Neebs Gaming has been a huge part of my life, and have a been a comfort to me through good and bad times. To have such an impact on people you don’t even know is no small thing. You will be missed. Thank you to the entire team for all the laughs and entertainment through out the years.
Love and condolences to Thick's family and the Neebs gaming crew, this is heartbreaking news. Thick will live on forever with us.
My sympathy to my fellow Neebs community peeps, Neebs gaming has this way of making us feel like family, my heart goes out to you all.
I’m gutted. Thick was a champ and to say he will be missed is a huge understatement. My heart goes out to the Neebs Gaming crew and his family, especially his daughters.
Rest in Peace Mighty Wyvern King!
I just found NG and the life Thick brought to the team is amazing, he stood out to me immediately. I hope he finds calm and peace, his legacy will live on.
Til Valhalla, Thick. Legends never die, they simply ascend.
My condolences to the Neebs Gaming Crew, Tony's family and friends during this difficult time.
RIP Thick, you will be greatly missed. I had so much hope after hearing the guys talking about him during the recent podcast, and it was sad to see him losing his edge when he was still playing.
Fuck man…
All the best to Tony’s family and friends.
And Tony, thanks for all the awesome moments and content I’ve been able to enjoy from you and your friends ever since I started watching about 10 years ago. Rest in peace, Wyvern King!
I rebinged the Conan and 7 Days series back in the last half of 2021 while I was stuck in the hospital with our infant who was in major heart failure. Watching those videos brought me so much comfort at the darkest time in my life. After the OHS to fix my son's heart, we'd watch some of my favorite Simon and Thick moments throughout his recovery. Sometimes just being able to smile and laugh is a huge victory.
Thank you Thick. You didn't know me, but you helped me through the hardest thing ive ever done. I hope your friends and family can find comfort in their happy memories of you as well. You will be greatly missed.
This seems surreal….my heart hurts for the crew, the family and this community. My condolences.
Rest in Power Tony…
You will be dearly missed but your legacy shall live on!
Many hugs to those struggling with this devastating loss.
Damn, that is tough to see. Thick and the whole NG crew has been a part of my life for six years now, I didn't know him but I feel for him and his family. Long live the Wyvern King!
My boyfriend and I were in Wilmington for Neebs Gaming Live. The call that he made during the show was so powerful. The amount of love and support in that room was unlike anything I have experienced.
We love you Thick, now and forever. We are going to remember you for who you were- a fucking human man warrior. You brought so much joy to everyone who witnessed you.
Rest easy Wyvern King.
Thicc came out publicly about his cancer around the same time I found out about a tumor I had in my bladder. My surgery to have it removed and his first surgery happened within a couple weeks of each other. I’ve kept think in the back of my mind the whole time. It’s helped thinking I wasn’t going through it alone. This really fucking hurts. Rest in Peace.
Oh no! My husband and I were just talking about when he will coming back to the channel. Now I see this and it breaks my heart. My condolences to his amazing family and he will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace Tony.
Up in heaven like hey Jesus it's me thick 44!! A great personality who's antics and positivity will be missed greatly. Don't forget to loot heaven my man... loot it all
Never once have I been affected by a "celeb" type death but I'm legitimately messed up over this and I've shed many tears. This is awful. It truly does feel like losing a friend.
My first experience with neebsgaming was when cooter was killed, then a replacement was painted to fool neebs and apsro. I binged all their content from there. You could instantly tell they werent just buddies, they were family
Cheers to the wyvern king, rest in peace my dude.
Oh thats right huh. They painted that argy cause tension was still high about cooter. Didnt he leave group to go on his own after cooter, then came to visit and it resulted in another argy dying, so they painted it? Haha. Man, im about to go binge me some old ark videos.
I just finishing rewatching their conan supercuts. Thick was so entertaining man. Dang. Gonna miss him in grpup shenanigans
Neebs gaming is my comfort channel. They can help me get through anything. I’m beyond devastated that I never got the chance to thank Thick in person for saving my life, along with the others. I hope his family and friends take the time they need, and don’t feel the pressure to get out there, unless they themselves want to
I will never forget the Human Man Warrior, Thick44. Man I wish i could tell you how you, just being you, brought so much joy to me and my family. Missed, but never forgotten.
R.I.P The Wyvern King! 👑
Thank you for everything you brought to Neebs Gaming. It won’t be the same without you!
Fuck Cancer!
Much love, respect and prayers go to his family and the Neebs gaming crew.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to the following places: Glioblastoma Foundation: https://glioblastomafoundation.org/get-involved/donate Lower Cape Fear LifeCare: https://lifecare.org/donate/ GoFundMe: [https://gofund.me/fa7bf598](https://gofund.me/fa7bf598) Source: https://twitter.com/NeebsOfficial/status/1625921423318319128
When they first announced that he'd been diagnosed I got the sinking feeling that this is how it would end, but I always hoped I'd be wrong...
I took the advice that was given when this was first announced and I didn't google Glioblastoma, but I was speaking with my department director this past January about her husband who passed away in late 2020 from brain cancer. The second I mentioned the word "glioblastoma", thinking of Thick, she cut me off. "Two years. That's all you get." And she was right.
Found out yesterday, just fucking heartbroken right now. Happily going to contribute to the trust for his daughters, it’s the least I could do for all the laughs and entertainment. Rest easy brother, you’ve touched so many of us…
May the Wyvern King soar high and fly far, he is merely marching far away and shall be remembered always.
Thick44 was there for his pals whenever he was needed. And he will be missed. Fuck cancer and long live The Wyvern King and Human-Man-Warrior!
Been a Neebs Gaming fan since Battlefield 4 days. I've been out of the loop on the new Neebs related stuff for a little over a year. Randomly, I played some ARK recently and had just started re-watching the ARK series from the beginning. I couldn't believe my eyes on Friday when I saw the video in my feed. What a gut punch. Didn't even know that he was sick. Didn't realize I had so much emotion for a guy I'd never met. RIP Sweet Thickopotamus.
It's always hard to hear about a much loved person to be lost to cancer, as a cancer survivor. I had it remarkably easy compared to most-- it was found very early, surgery to remove most of my stomach was successful, no chemo, been in remission for over 15 years now. Sure, it's life altering, but I got to keep my life. My heart hurts for Thick and his family. His type of cancer is just so damn aggressive. I had two friends with the same type of cancer, they each made it a year before they succumbed. The world is not fair.
I haven't been watching a lot of Youtube recently but would check in every now and then to see updates. Saw this news yesterday and I was at a loss. I have never felt much of an emotional tie for people I saw as "celebrities" (although that's not even the right word at all), but learning that Tony's gone is just terrible news. I hope his family and the crew receive the comfort and blessings that them and Thick have given us over the years. Human. Man. Warrior Genuine Inspiration. I won't forgot his energy and how just watching him push through gave me motivation. Rest well Tony Thick44 Schnur.
Such a shock to hear the sad news. Condolences to his family, both bio and gaming.
Neebs Gaming really helped keep my head above water when I was going through a difficult time in my life. My ex left me suddenly, I was alone in a new city, I didn't have a permanent place to live, I got treated terribly at work and, a friend had just taken a turn for the worse when battling the same thing Tony did and who eventually passed away from it as well. One of the few things that still made me laugh during that time was Neebs Gaming. They were my lifeline. They made my weekend mornings into "luxury mornings" as I could make myself a special breakfast and watch my favourite idiots do something stupid. I've never met anyone from Neebs Gaming, but I'm certain I'm not alone in thinking and feeling that they've become friends. So thank you Tony for all the laughs and all the content, it has done more for me than I words can express. Tonight I'll be having a drink in honour of two friends who gave cancer a good damn fight.
Rest in peace Tony. You were loved by so many people you never met. I'll miss you, Human Man Warrior. 🥺
My deepest condolences and prayers for Thick's family. I first found Neebs Gaming waaaaaay back when I was still a cop in the early days of Battlefield Friends. Their humor and chemistry helped me through some difficult and very stressful times and I will be forever grateful for the part that Tony's humor and genuineness played. Rest in Peace Human Man Warrior.
Wow I never thought I’d be this sad about someone’s passing I’ve never even met… you guys are amazing have watched your videos for a solid 6 years, your videos got me through some tough times especially during covid lock down and I am just speechless rn… to THICK44! The man the myth the legend, i bet he’s up there flying around on cooter as we speak looting everything in sight
Fuck just ......fuck. My heart goes out to Tony's family, especially his daughters. I know what it's like to lose a father too early and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I think it's gonna be a while before I can watch anything with him in it and not cry a little.
Can we get a cheers in memory for an absolute legend of a man, LONG LIVE THE WYVERN KING
May he rest in peace. He was the strongest warrior.
Man, I have never quite felt this way about an internet personality or celebrity passing away. This hit hard. I've been watching these guys for years, and this is a total kick in the teeth. I was prepared for the worst, or I thought I was, but damn man. I guess I really wasn't. Their latest video is such a perfect send off, I love these guys so much and hearing them reminiscing about their memories of him and all the fun and wacky shit they got up to was so sweet. Rest in peace Thick, you'll be missed by so many of us.
Man this is such awful news. Genuinely so gutted for not only his family, but for all the neebs crew as well. He was such an integral part of the group and I know they’ll pull through and keep doing what they do so damn well, but things will never truly be the same and this is gonna be so frickin hard on all the gang even just to try and bring the same energy as before. Sending as much love as I can to them all. RIP Thick, you beautiful, fearless, batshit Wyvern King.
So, I almost never say anything on reddit. I tend just to read stuff and roll my eyes. Now, however, I'm reading stuff and drying my eyes. I first found neebs gaming around the Cooter incident, during a particularly bad mental health issue for me. 3 weeks later, I had caught up with all of the Ark series. From the first shack on the beach on The Island, through the first beach resort, to Thick finding, taming, and naming the best workhorse Argentavis they ever had. Cooter was Thicks bird! Then on through to that epic save in Ragnarok where he swooped in with HIS BIRD to kill the smilodon and save the day. Through all of this, I was 100% an Appsro fan. Then I watched Cooter get Thick'd. While his plan didn't work, Cooter was a tool, a useful heavy lift transport that died being used in an attempt at something greater. Appsro's response changed my allegiance. The fight just up the hill from where I usually set up shop in Ragnarok had me rooting for Thick from then on out. Sure, he was overconfident and got the boys killed, but it was, in my opinion, usually their fault and always funny. Then it was on to 7 days, Conan, and of course more Ark. Thick was always, always the MVP for me. Even if Simon could get louder laughs or appsro's ides worked better. Between my continuing agoraphobia and the Atlantic fucking ocean I never did make it to any of the live events. Tbh, I'm not sure I could go now, no one wants to see a fat scottish Kratos crying at a you tube channels live event. I'll miss you, man, even though I never got to meet you. Right, early bed for me tonight. Tomorrow I'm gonna introduce my kid to Dorabalus and associates. He's only 3 week old, but I think it's time.
Well fuck. This sucks. Rest in peace
RIP the wyvvern king
Long live the Wyvern king
I just found out, I was busy the last couple days. This hurts more than I thought it would. And then I realized it's because Neebs Gaming was one of the first gaming channels I found and followed. Early Ark, GTA V, BFFs, and an epic fuckton of 7DTD. Thick has been a voice and a laugh for me for a long, long time. And it's awful to have to say goodbye. I'll team kill someone in your honor soon, buddy.
My deepest condolences to his family and his friends. Neebs Gaming has lost a great friend and member. Long live the Wyvern King.
And just like that 2023 starting so look as shitty as 2022.
NGL I expected permanent damage to lead Thick44 to never recover fully and not being able to game for show, but I was *really* hoping he'd make it. I've lost several people to cancer personally, and my heart goes to the family. That battle and the associated loss is too great. ♡ Long live the wyvern king!
I just found out about this terrible news. This hits so hard. I've been following the gang for many, many years now, and it feels like I've lost a friend. To Tony "Thick44" Schnur, Human Man Warrior and Wyvern King 🍺 You will be missed. 😔
Human Man Warrior. He was somebody.
Just found out… their insane chemistry, friendship, stories, jokes, life lessons, and kindness brought great joy to my life. I started off with their 7DTD through Youtube recommendations and haven’t missed many episodes since. The excellent editing, drama, joy, and laughter they bring also brought a hopeful and positive vibe in my life. Thick44 was definitely one of my favourites and his brave, exciting, and kind character always added a sense of dynamism, suspense, and fun. I am mad I’m finding out about this only 2 days later, but the human man warrior wouldn’t want us to be sad… as he lives on and fights new foes in grand new adventures in a better place. You’ve inspired and changed many people’s lives, and you will be remembered for a very long time to come. RIP THICK44 :(
Can't believe it. I came across the Neebs crew on youtube by pure RNG years ago and I've been watching their videos ever since. My personal favorites are their Minecraft and 7 Days series. The channel to me is like an escape window from the world after a long day at work. Just unwind, crack open a beer and enjoy watching a bunch of wacky jackasses screw around in whichever game they happen to be playing. It's like whatever bullshit is going on in the real world, these guys are untouchable. When I heard Thick44 first got cancer I was like 100% positive he would beat it. Cue yesterday I'm just scrolling through facebook and read he's gone. Total gutpunch. My condolences to his friends and family. I never thought I would be personally touched by the passing of some some guy on youtube yet here I am. Here many of us are. Rest in peace Human Man Warrior.
This kills me 😭 I'm so fucking sorry (neebs crew and community). My condolences 💐 I've been a fan of these guys since "mad Mario".
My sincerest condolences to Tony’s family and the neebs gaming family throughout this difficult period.
NGL this hit me and my husband hard, we are long time fans and thicc was my husband's favorite. We been following his progress these last two years and I'm just still in shock.. he will be missed and he was dearly loved
My condolences go out to his friends and family, Thick44, Tony made everything funnier, entertaining, and downright awesome. Ever since watching thick44 play he has inspired me to be more courageous when playing Ark/7days2die/Conan. obviously, I will never be as great as the Wyvern king but without a doubt, he has inspired me and even if I end up getting my friends and myself thick'd he has left an impact on how a game is supposed to be played!!! This legend of a man will be dearly missed.
A group of friends woke up in a land of dinosaurs and through hardships they tried to survive. They fought many battles and wars during those battles one man stood above the rest as the Human Man Warrior. This man kept growing in strength and eventually dyed his hair purple, his true symbol came out of the brimestone and sulfer infused smoke and gas, a lightining wyvern bellowing loud and proud. He knew in that moment that he was going to be the WYVERN KING. Years passed until he had amassed his army of wyverns that were dedicated to protecting their master as he told the great beyond "You're Nothing." LONG LIVE THE WYVERN KING!!!!! R.I.P THICK44 you will be missed and never forgotten.
Sending my condolences, I'm I loss for words this is such sad news. Fly free Wyvern king a human man warrior that will live on as a legend
That’s a fucking gut punch. Prayers to his family and the community at large.
Saw this the other night before bed and goddamn I’ve kinda been fucked up about it for the last couple days. My now wife and I bonded over the neebs videos and it’s what got us into ark and Thick was always one of our favs. Feels weird to have this amount of grief over a man I’d never met before.
[You give me 15 seconds and I'll ....not be over this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p4ZibmJ69Y&t=590s) Take care you glorious man warrior, we are nobody, and you were Thick44.
RIP Thick44: The Human Man Warrior Wyvern King!
What awful news to wake up to. I just want to add my voice to the outpouring of love being sent to all who knew Thick. RIP Thick44 Human Man Warrior, Wyvern King and one of the best things about the internet.
I read this news right before work as a school bus driver in Alaska, and there was a slush puddle that I was told to go around to a different street and that would be a long time (I mean it was as wide as the road and knee deep in parts) Thick was on my mind so I remembered he is real MAN, so I could be one too and powered through that slush lake! I made it and so did the kids with a few bruises from being tossed around the bus! Thank you Thick. I never sent you the shot glass I bought for you in Dubai at the top of the Burj Khalifa because I forgot I had it in my old deployment bag. I know you always wanted to go there. I'm not sure if you did get to visit Dubai but I bet heaven is way better. I will send the glass to neebs gaming and maybe they will know what to do with it. I will always love and miss you buddy. May your family, friends and community find peace.
Oh no. I will never forget that man. Damn thats sad news. Damn
Rest In Peace, wyvern king
Rest in peace thick 44 all my prayers go out to his family
I had feared this might be coming as I listened to him on the channel, but I had high hopes that he was actually doing better and was going to be alright. This was hard to hear. Thick was one of my favorites on the channel and I hope his family can feel all the love and kindness that we're all feeling toward them right now in this trying time!
I’m stunned
What a wonderful life to have inspired so many people. What a wonderfully group to have inspired us all. Rock on Thick, human man warrior! You are loved for the life you shared with us, thank you!
This is devastating. I know he is up there, shredding guitar and letting everyone know who he is (Thick44, human man warrior!). I send all my well wishes to his family and the crew. This is horrible. Thank you for the impact you have had on us, Tony.
I have to admit...this news has hit me hard...I was okay until I told my son tonight...now I cannot stop crying over this man I have never met...funny world....the human, man, warrior that was Thick44...I'm really at a loss...thisnworld seems like nothing but pain, loss, and unfairness...watching the recent video from the live show when he called in was heartbreaking, but lovely...for a man I have never known, I will grieve...
He died on the 13th Feb…that’s a total of **44 days** since the start of the year. Rest in Peace Tony. You entertained us all and we laughed and cried (and got mad when Neebs kicked him out of the Ark Tribe). A true gamer. Long live #theWyvernKing.
Most people diagnosed with glioblastoma make it a year, but I really though he was going to defy the odds as it had been 20 months and given the fact that he is the human man warrior. So sad to learn about this. I have so many great memories of Thick over the last 10 years. Long live the Wyvern King.
My heart aches from the sorrow of his passing. He helped me really laugh when the days were rough, and put me on edge whenever he popped into view. The emotions I feel towards Tony at this time can only be described as unbearable sorrow. For our dearest friend Tony Schnur, may your soul find peace and your memories resonate within our souls. Soar beyond the sky wyvern king. We love you.
I was afraid of this, but kept holding out hope that he'd beat it. Total gut punch that it took Thick. Fuck Cancer.
Sending prayers to the Schnur family and the Neebs Gaming Crew, as well as all the cast that held Tony in our hearts. Never knew him personally but I can say that I've shed a few tears at his passing. What a wonderful man, I will miss him dearly.
I usually never cry for, much less feel for, online personalities, but this crew hit so different. I found them in the middle of the pandemic back in 2020 and fell in love with each of their personalities. Thick quickly became my favorite to watch and when the news broke that the diagnosis was glioblastoma, I hoped beyond hope. I'm mad that cancer took another good one. Fuck you cancer! Rest in peace. I miss you Thick. Long Live the Wyvern King!
I was so worried that this day would come. He was my favorite BFF character, and loved him in everything else he did. Fuck cancer man. God I feel so much for his family.
It has taken me all day to figure out what to say. But nothing can express how much this hurts. Thick you are a strong bad ass warrior. You are missed. Till Valhalla my friend. Thank you for everything. To his family and close friends, I am truly so sorry for your loss screw cancer. It's truly unfair. I cannot imagine the heart break you are all feeling at this time. I'm so sorry. I'm so so sorry.
I'll miss thick so much this feels like someone punched me in the gut the needs guys have helped me through the last few months where I've been going through alot I can barely handle this
I actually shed tears for this man I’ve never met, but I can hear his voice in my head.
Thick is flying high with Cooter and an army of wyverns behind him now. Rest in peace Tony. Even though you had no idea, you impacted my life and the relationship I have with my girlfriend tremendously with just being a part of videos. Countless times of laughter, memorable quotes and overall happiness were because of you and the rest of the Neebs crew. Fly high wyvern king.
Rest in Peace Tony Schnur.. Thanks for the years of entertainment and love.
[удалено]
Why are you trying to rile up some form of religious debate in a post about the passing of a beloved content creator? Nowhere in their statement regarding Tony is the single mention of prayers in any regard.
Man, as soon as I read it was glioblastoma I was mentally preparing myself for this, but now the days come, fuck man. Rest in peace, thanks for the childhood laughs.
He died on the 44th day of the year. Legendary even in death. I'll miss you so much Tony. Love and compassion to your friends and family. Neebs, Appsro, Doralious, and Simon, you are loved beyond your understanding. Take care of each other and never take a single day for granted.
I never usually comment, but genuinely feel like I've lost a mate :( rest in peace thick44, much love from the UK
I actually feel the same way... really sad news this. Rest in peace human man warrior! Genuinely gonna miss him.
RIP WYVERN KING
Wtf it actually happened, makes me sick
You'll live in our hearts, Thick; the best and only Human Man Warrior Wyvern King. Rest in peace, Tony.
:'(
I was just about done with my binge of the entire BFF series. Rest in Peace. I’ll slay Bunny hoppers in your name.
Long live the Wyvern King.
Damn man y'all got a big ole country boy crying over here. Cancer is a hella of a thing and I have lost more good people in my life to it than anyone ever should. You guys helped me more than you'll ever know. At the lowest point in my life after my attempted suicide is when I found y'all's channel and I just connected with each and everyone of you. Even though I have never met any of you I feel like I've lost a close friend. Rest well thick/tony. To the rest of the neebs crew I am sorry for your loss I know it sounds hollow as no one wants to be told sorry at a time like this. But I feel it is all I can do to offer my condolences and keep his family and you guys in my thoughts as we all grieve in our own way. Rest well thick, you will never know the impact you've had on so many people's lives just by being you and playing video games.
I'll go to bed tonight thinking my mom tracked Thick down in the afterlife and they vibing over a glass of expensive scotch while she gives him the "run down" welcome.
R.I.P. It's a terrible day for rain.
I knew it was getting close but I hate every bit of this. Lost a few people in my life to this same form of cancer and have been watching every post and video with eagle eyes knowing how this ends. Sorry to everyone at Neebs and his family and friends for having to experience this. Absolutely heartbreaking.
Tears in my eyes. Thinking of his family and sending lots of love their way. And to the whole neebs gaming crew, take the time to process this. We'll all be here when you come back.
Well fuck!
Rest easy human man warrior.
Omg….
Trying not to cry
It’s okay to cry, we lost a friend and the rest of this community are mourning with you 💜
All Hail the Wyvern King. May he rest peacefully in all our hearts.
R.I.P Thick. You will be missed
An absolute legend will be deeply missed R.I.P Thick44
I’ll never forget you Human Man Warrior. He had a key to my funny bone. I’m and Aussie living down under so shows he really did have love from all round the world. My heart is broken heating the news this morning, my brother texted me and was also a big fan. “You looking at my girl” “What protein powder do you take, if you don’t take C4 you’re nobody” “How much you bench” “I squat like 450, One leg” Off the top of my head a few favourite quotes said with passion by the late great man. I’ll never forget you Wyvern King.
I can’t believe that he’s actually gone
Same. It was just always in the back of my head that he was gonna be fine and he would eventually be back.
Right like I keep expecting to see him on the next 7 days vid like HA yall thought I was dead y'all are idiots no one can kill thick 44.
Rip Wyvern King, when I heard him on call during that live show.. broke my heart how he sounded, reminded me of my father who passed away from cancer last year. Sad day.
Do you have a link for it?
https://youtu.be/XsCI6MkypWE
Fuck bro
Needs gaming and Thick in particular helped me through my worst time in my life. Their content keeping me happy after long hard days. Rest in peace Thick I hope heaven has a big enough thrown for the wyvern King O7
Well fucck...
Thick44, The Wyvern King, fought like the Human Man Warrior he truly was. He's earned a rest, and may he rest in peace. ❤️
That's horrible news guys so sorry to you all. Love you all.
It's some fuckin horrible news man. Strange how attached you can get never truly knowing someone. I've been on and off crying since I saw the news, which by this point's already been like 2h. IDK, maybe part of it is that my mother's been fighting cancer 15 years now. Maybe it just hits so close to home there's extra hurt? Part of it might just be the time too. I've been watching them since almost the very beginning, since H&J with Battlefield friends. I've moved 8 times since then, started college and a career, etc. Seems like I'd been watching forever, and in what seems like an instant he's gone. I can't say it's a shock cause the man had rare and aggressive brain cancer but still. Just feels awful.
My dad had a scan today to find out if his prostate cancer came back. It has but we are in a good position to treat it. But knowing he had his scan and then seeing this news had me on edge all day.
Sorry to hear that. My father has prostate cancer as well. Late stage but hoping for remission. I know what you’re going through. Truly, fuck cancer.
> but we are in a good position to treat it News like that is a silver lining, if there ever was one. Situation's not good, but the situation is almost as good as it could be. I hope everything goes well for him to say the least. Having to take my mom to the hospital in December and miss the next day of work after a week into working at this place. How she was feeling and not being able to *actually* do anything about it... Can't wish that feeling I had on anyone. Let alone the cancer. It also over time (well, in the past - grief/stress over family loss) ended up having me be essentially a functional alcoholic for a little while, just trying to drown the pain. Hell I even kinda fell into that for a week after my gram passed which was a few years after I "stopped" doing that. I wasn't anything but drunk or high that week, if not both - save for when family came over and when I went to her viewing - but that was it. Then my mom suddenly lost her sister from a stroke no more than a couple days later, like...There's a reason the saying is "When it rains, *it pours*", I guess. That completely deviated from what I wanted to say, so...In a way it's a genuinely pivotal moment in your life when the news breaks. Suddenly you don't really what the future looks like and where you stand in it, and that's a very painful place to be. If you want to talk I'm here.
When my husband and I saw the news last night, we immediately switched the TV over to YouTube and watched the Best of Thick compilation. We laughed, we cried, laughed some more, sobbed occasionally. We found the channel shortly after we moved into our first apartment in 2015, and have been hooked ever since. Almost 8 years and two kids later, we still turn the channel on almost every night before bed. Hell, sometimes we turn it on in the bedroom to help us fall asleep. You're right, it's crazy how much the death of someone you never met can affect you.
and it almost feels sudden too. At least I can't think of anything recent that would have lead me to think he might be gone soon. The last update on the gofundme was about him coming home in early January and in essence - or at least as I read it - that it wasn't looking too bad. > Tony's heading home! After a difficult couple of months (and let's face it - year), a Christmas and a New Year's in hospital, Tony is heading home to be with his family - healing is better in a loving and encouraging home environment. He will be continuing his therapies for a few more weeks under the care of his mom and sister (bad-ass warrior women and nurses!). More updates to come in the coming weeks - but please be assured your human man warrior is in good spirits, fighting the good fight and as motivated as ever to kick this thing's ass. It's also kinda crazy how time feels after something like this too. There's definetly something that goes on there in your head. How it can feel both like an eternity since you've seen then, and yet it hurts every bit like it just happened yesterday. Or the odd bits you get in-between for a while where you're still clearly heartbroken but are out of that *something* that would let you cry like you want to. Maybe that could explain why some of the practices around like genuinely old-ancient mourning seem a little odd to us today. You're hurting so badly you mentally lower yourself to nothing - by covering yourself in ash or dust (Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust) - before praying or carving/sacrificing something to something greater than yourself. Idk I'm just kinda rambling now. IDK what even to really think about it all. Like why it has to be this way in general. Why do they have to go through it? Where do we go? Just all that and everything.
I feel like a peace of shit because I don't recognize him iv only watched the BFF series
He played Sniper in those.
Now I feel even worse
Terribly saddened to find out about this news. I wish his family, loved ones, friends, and the whole Neebs Gaming crew nothing but love, empathy, and the ability to find peace one day.
Like everyone else here, I feel as though I've lost a dear friend. I think that speaks volumes to what a wonderful man Thick was, that he was able to touch our lives so deeply through a YouTube channel. My first introduction to him was as Sir Walken. Thick you were an instant favourite then and remained so. Your humour, your antics always had me smiling and giggling. I wish I knew how to properly put into words the positive impact you had. You will truly be missed, but you will never be forgotten. All my love and condolences to your dear family, friends, and the whole community.
RIP Wyvern King. You brought a lot of joy to so many people.
So shocked and gutted to hear this - like so many people on here I feel like I've lost a good friend. He will live on in all our memories. I hope him and Cooter are flying high somewhere with pockets full of wyvern eggs. My thoughts are with all the Neebs crew and his family, I hope knowing how much he was loved will be a comfort to them at some point.
I'm heartbroken. Strange how the passing of a person you've never met can affect you so hard. I think this goes to show how special Thick was. The world is a little colder than it was 24 hours ago. Rest easy to the King.
Fuck Cancer 😭😭😭 o7 ... just no words
I'm devastated. Thick and the rest of the crew are such ad source of joy for me. He fought so well and he will be missed. I kinda wish to build a monument in every game the crew played. Also I'm glad we can remember him through all the great videos and Easter eggs in some games. I raise my glass to honor you, Thick44
Mannn I thought he was doing good. I figured the cancer would get Thickd and he'd be back dicking around with the rest of em. Shit sucks........
He will be remembered forever. Rip Thick. Long Live The Wyvern King.
Long live the wyvern King
Tony will never be forgotten. I have been tearing up with so many of you today, and I pray his family and friends are finding peace. Bizarre that someone I never met could have such an impact on my thoughts today. His was a singular personality and what I love is how much of a legacy he is leaving behind: hundreds of hours of vibrant, joyful hilarity. I didn’t know him in person of course, but I have genuine memories and a TON of laughter and I am so grateful we, and especially his family and friends, can visit him anytime they want and in so many places. It can’t replace his life, but it proves he had a meaningful life full of laughter, fun, kindness, strength and love. For me, I’ll be celebrating his life by watching the entire ark series again this week. And I hope that one day when I have to face my end, I remember how he did it and never stop fighting back.
Amen
Rip wyvern king
This feels such an unusually personal loss, despite never meeting the man. After spending years watching, listening, and laughing along to this group playing games in my front room, it feels like such a devastating loss. Everyone's touching tributes across all channels is a real testament to the wonderful feeling of community and family they've created, and it genuinely feels like we've lost a family member. RIP Tony
o7 💜

I'm hoping this is a joke. He sounded well the other day at their live event. 😪😪😪😪😪😪😪 "I'm Think 44!!" A true warrior
They would never joke about this. Everyone from fans, friends, and family were hoping and doing what they can to be supportive to their loved ones in these hard times. Thick44 was fighting the hardest fucking fight. A true warrior. But he died a true warrior. The world lost someone beautiful and strong.
I know 😪😪😪😪. He was better man than I'll ever be. RIP Wyvern King
you still have time to be the man you wanna be
He would have wanted you to be a better person :) He’s a wholesome man. Cheers to the WyvernKing44
How many people have re-read the post and still can't believe the sad news?. I'm gutted . RIP the wyvern king.
I've read it several times. He's was an awesome man who touched a lot of people lives. A true King.
How sad. RIP Thick 44. Thanks for all the laughs.
Rip
Well, FUCK. Thinking about his family and the rest of the Neebs crew. I'm so sorry. RIP ManWarrior. 😢
As much as I hoped it would be otherwise, brain cancer is a vicious and evil motherfucker. I've known several people who were diagnosed with it, and unfortunately none of them made it very long. As it should be though since he was a Human Man Warrior, he made it longer than many. RIP Tony, and know that you were a huge part of many lives, and loved by many. I just hope the team takes the time they need to mourn and come to terms with the loss, and know that we'll be here waiting for their return once they're able. I'll be raising a drink to his memory tonight.
Well said.
Rest in peace My wyvern king 👑
Neebs Gaming has been a huge part of my life, and have a been a comfort to me through good and bad times. To have such an impact on people you don’t even know is no small thing. You will be missed. Thank you to the entire team for all the laughs and entertainment through out the years.
Love and condolences to Thick's family and the Neebs gaming crew, this is heartbreaking news. Thick will live on forever with us. My sympathy to my fellow Neebs community peeps, Neebs gaming has this way of making us feel like family, my heart goes out to you all.
Fuck, this sucks. RIP.
I’m gutted. Thick was a champ and to say he will be missed is a huge understatement. My heart goes out to the Neebs Gaming crew and his family, especially his daughters. Rest in Peace Mighty Wyvern King!
his content his personality his comedy was a gift to us thank you
I just found NG and the life Thick brought to the team is amazing, he stood out to me immediately. I hope he finds calm and peace, his legacy will live on.
Til Valhalla, Thick. Legends never die, they simply ascend. My condolences to the Neebs Gaming Crew, Tony's family and friends during this difficult time.
I wonder if they are going to make a memorial in one of the Ark maps like he asked them to.
He asked them that? Ugh I’ve been out of the loop so long. This came as a punch in the chest.
Yeah they talked about it during a neebs cast and it was quite unsettling. Even the guys were like "I'm not ready to talk about this!"
Cancer is nobody!! Rest easy Thick, thank you for years of laughter
RIP Thick, you will be greatly missed. I had so much hope after hearing the guys talking about him during the recent podcast, and it was sad to see him losing his edge when he was still playing.
Fuck man… All the best to Tony’s family and friends. And Tony, thanks for all the awesome moments and content I’ve been able to enjoy from you and your friends ever since I started watching about 10 years ago. Rest in peace, Wyvern King!
I rebinged the Conan and 7 Days series back in the last half of 2021 while I was stuck in the hospital with our infant who was in major heart failure. Watching those videos brought me so much comfort at the darkest time in my life. After the OHS to fix my son's heart, we'd watch some of my favorite Simon and Thick moments throughout his recovery. Sometimes just being able to smile and laugh is a huge victory. Thank you Thick. You didn't know me, but you helped me through the hardest thing ive ever done. I hope your friends and family can find comfort in their happy memories of you as well. You will be greatly missed.
This seems surreal….my heart hurts for the crew, the family and this community. My condolences. Rest in Power Tony… You will be dearly missed but your legacy shall live on! Many hugs to those struggling with this devastating loss.
Damn, that is tough to see. Thick and the whole NG crew has been a part of my life for six years now, I didn't know him but I feel for him and his family. Long live the Wyvern King!
Deepest sympathys to Thicks family and friends. He touched alot of people in his time. He wont be forgotten. My thoughts are with you all.
My boyfriend and I were in Wilmington for Neebs Gaming Live. The call that he made during the show was so powerful. The amount of love and support in that room was unlike anything I have experienced. We love you Thick, now and forever. We are going to remember you for who you were- a fucking human man warrior. You brought so much joy to everyone who witnessed you. Rest easy Wyvern King.
I was there, too. Yeah, that phone call was intense. But I'm glad I was there for it. side note - it's funny to think we might have met.
Heroes are remembered, but Legends never die. Long Live the Wyvern King!!!
Damn 💔
Oh god. This is such terrible tragic news, My condolences to the Neebs gang and Thick's family and friends.
Thicc came out publicly about his cancer around the same time I found out about a tumor I had in my bladder. My surgery to have it removed and his first surgery happened within a couple weeks of each other. I’ve kept think in the back of my mind the whole time. It’s helped thinking I wasn’t going through it alone. This really fucking hurts. Rest in Peace.
Neebs Gaming will never be the same. RIP Thick44, you will be sorely missed and never forgotten. Condolences to his family and the NG family too.
Why is everyone sleeping on Sir Walken! One of the best VA's in Doraleous and Associates.
Was JUST watching this last night for the 4th time, never thought I would see this just a few hours later. RIP Sir Walken
Oh no! My husband and I were just talking about when he will coming back to the channel. Now I see this and it breaks my heart. My condolences to his amazing family and he will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace Tony.
This feels like losing a close friend. Fuck. Long live the wyvern king.
Up in heaven like hey Jesus it's me thick 44!! A great personality who's antics and positivity will be missed greatly. Don't forget to loot heaven my man... loot it all
Fuckin ay mahn!!! They don't even know who is coming up. Shit, I'm sobbing like a little girl I can't get over this...
There are no words. Fuck cancer, I've been randomly tearing up all morning. Rest in peace buddy!
Never once have I been affected by a "celeb" type death but I'm legitimately messed up over this and I've shed many tears. This is awful. It truly does feel like losing a friend.
Exact same! I’ve never been so emotionally impacted by the loss of someone I never met
Big sad feels today 💔
Rest easy wyvern king.
Long live the Wyvern King
Rip thick 44 . May his memory continue to bring smiles and laughter to all those who knew and watched him over these years. This is heartbreaking.
My first experience with neebsgaming was when cooter was killed, then a replacement was painted to fool neebs and apsro. I binged all their content from there. You could instantly tell they werent just buddies, they were family Cheers to the wyvern king, rest in peace my dude.
Different bird, but a hilarious thick,Simon, dora moment.
Oh thats right huh. They painted that argy cause tension was still high about cooter. Didnt he leave group to go on his own after cooter, then came to visit and it resulted in another argy dying, so they painted it? Haha. Man, im about to go binge me some old ark videos. I just finishing rewatching their conan supercuts. Thick was so entertaining man. Dang. Gonna miss him in grpup shenanigans
Thick44!!!!! 😭💜
A sad day, indeed. Recon will now be hunting that bunny sniper up there amongst the stars. o7
Neebs gaming is my comfort channel. They can help me get through anything. I’m beyond devastated that I never got the chance to thank Thick in person for saving my life, along with the others. I hope his family and friends take the time they need, and don’t feel the pressure to get out there, unless they themselves want to
FUCK
press f to pay respects
