- Rest in peace, Byron
A compilation of my favorite Reckful clips throughout his streaming career
I began watching Reckful around 8 years ago. I would watch Reckful & Sodapoppin for countless hours every day, their talent and humor would always put a smile on my face. Reckful was never afraid to share his feelings or talk about what was on his mind. Everyone felt safe and secure in Reckful's chat/community. I was shocked and devastated by the upsetting news regarding Reckful's passing, but I hope he is in a better place now. His goal has always been to make sure nobody felt lonely and unhappy - sorry we couldn't do what you achieved. Thank you for making a difference in the gaming world and being one of the few who established the streaming industry.
Make sure to support his family and closest friends. They really tried their best for Byron.

~ Flight Facilities - Clair De Lune ft. Christine Hoberg (reportedly the last song Byron listened to)
~ Anduins Theme - Neal Acree ft. Julie Elven

edit : Plus I am actually not even eligible to monetize my videos, because you need at least 1000 subscribers for that - gyazo.com/ff61f2c447527794c80df9c5d35786ee
I really don’t want people to think that I made this video because of money :( but I don’t know how I can prove it to you guys. I know the 10 mins length seems shady but all I wanted was a clean number - I didn’t know it was the threshold for monetization.
Thanks a lot for making this video, its beautiful, also love the song choices, its been the 2 songs I have on repeat for the past week.
10:01 is just a time that carries a lot of stigma with it when making videos of this nature. It just looks bad regardless of your intentions.
dirrDtv yeah I know, it was a really bad mistake by me. I get comments every single day saying I’m milking money from his death... I’ve thought about re-uploading this video either extended or shortened, but I’m not to sure what people would like :(
@@NoahRyu122 If you do re-upload just cut it a bit. That should solve the problem of people saying you are milking his death.
Was missing Reckful a little extra today. Byron, you are never forgotten.
Still miss ya Reckful... still do...
Ive watched reckful for over 10 years now and I never chatted in his chat or met him but I feel like I knew him and I miss him a lot.
Very nice tribute. I miss you so much Byron ❤
@L'évier Attend poutine
No u dont
one man can save hundreds, but hundreds couldn't save one.
Guys... it has been like 15 years since i started to watch him. Its like i grew up with byron. I feel like i lost someone from my family. It hurt, it realy hurt.
Rest in peace brother, you are a legend.
Seeing these comments makes me feel less weird. I am hurting bad from this.
You were watching Reckful in 2005? What?
@@Duncan94 It feels like that, hes mistaken but yeah i feel like ive been watching for well over a decade. But it was 6 years at best, most likely 5.
Same bro i was 11 now im a couple a weeks away from 19... Rip legend
@@user-sq8ki8zi8u Yeah I started to watch him in 2012 but it for sure feels like 10-15 years
There's not a single other person on the internet that has impacted my life more. Byron made me realise my own mental illness and the seriousness of it, and it seems he did the same for so many people. He kept me entertained for close to a decade, but also helped so many people from the same suffering he experienced.
Miss you Byron, hope you're resting peacefully
I still think about him every day..
We all still miss you byron, rip you legend.
I started watching Byron early 2014 when I was 14 and I was very depressed about the passing of my mother and he helped me through high school and through growing up on my own alone in a random town working a terrible job in 2018, I moved back to my friends and got a home with them at the start of the pandemic in 2020, feeling the best in my life and then he died months later and I didn’t watch his last stream but I watch one a little bit before and watching the vod and crying and crying. I cried like I cried when my mother died, I felt so sad and dull for more than a week after. I miss him so much, I wish he was still here, I wish he would stick around to sit on that bench with soda when he was 64
This song auto played on youtube for me the other day, I saw all the RIP Reckful/Byron comments and went down a rabbit hole on this guy. I've never really been one to watch streamers until about a year ago. Unfortunately I'd never came across Reckful's channel, which is CRAZY because I've played WoW off and on since TBC. This dude has not been out of my head for a week now wanting to know more about this man. I'm sorry to the family, friends, and fans of this guy, he seems like he was a crazy good dude and you're all lucky to have gotten to experience him. Dealing with struggles of my own, I just want Reckful to know that even though he's not here anymore, he's still helping people. RIP Byron, I look forward to learning more about you.
I never met Reckful irl but his passing has affected me a lot, is really hard to cope with. Is crazy how you can miss someone so much that you never met, Byron was so pure. I miss you dearly.
Same dude... still affects me almost 5 months later.
I know! I hope everland can one day be finished and live up to reckful's dream
@@josephxwallo still affects me too man
There isn't one day since his death I'm not thinking about him. Rest easy king. Hope you found your Everland brother.
i miss you so much, i cant help but feel sad every single day since the day of your passing, im trying really hard to stay positive but i keep thinking of you and i get reminded that you are no longer around , miss you friend.
same man, I keep coming back to these videos.
What a sweet, well researched, well edited tribute. Thank you for making this!
RIP my guy. He deserved better
This tribute always gets a tear out of me... mhm
Idk why i keep coming back here... can't say life improved much compared to last year.
I am still thinking of Byron every day. Feels like i actually lost a close friend even tho he did not know me. Sad times indeed
Its been almost 4 years from now.. This loss hurts so much.. he was such a smart lovely man who made some very critical wrong dicisions in his life but so did I and thats why I felt so connected to him. I understand why he did it but still it hurts so much...
I was 2500 player in bg9 from burning crusade to end of cataclysm. I played vs alot of rank 1's original, vanguards, squanky, snutz, hoodrych when he was terrorizing with WLD i remember playing vs reckful 1 when he was coming up as shadowsyep rogue and everyone talked shit to him about it because assassinate was completely faceroll and he stomped all of Bg9 with it. Then the following season when he went 3k and just being absoloutely blown away at how insane his mechanics at the game were.... It was truly unlike anything or anyone else... I also remember having played xaryu and saying wow this guys also really great maybe better than reckful was in xaryus time, only to have reckful come back on a class he was new to (warrior) and get rank one again and completely remind me how sht i was at the game... Wow was great memories im happy i got to play vs a legend and see his rise and fall... I wasnt even good enough to lick sweat off his balls, just honored i got to face him during all of wows eras. By far the most mechanically skilled player that ever played wow. Its not even close.
Reckful had such a big impact on me. I never knew him but I felt like I did, rest in peace. Thank you for creating this.
Fucking same
How did he make a impact if you never knew him
I feel the same way, he was one of the first world of Warcraft you tubers I started watching when I was 9
4 years and still miss you! My eternal favorite streamer! Love you forever!
Some small thing has had me in tears every days since he passed. He was such a kindred spirit and an amazing member and founder of the gaming community. There are few other people in this world who I could say even remotely similar about. I doubt there could be any other person who would have this sort of impact on the gaming community as a whole. Rest in peace Byron... You are missed dearly. I'm so sorry that you felt there was no other alternative...
This guy probably had on of the unluckiest lifes that I have ever seen that fact just makes me sad.
Gotta say, I'm still not over it :S - Rest in Peace, may we meet somewhere else. Be happy where ever you are brother.
Same brother ):
2:08 "It was a marvelous night , the sort of night one only experiences when one is young. The sky was so bright, and there were so many stars that, gazing upward, one could not help wondering how so many whimsical wicked people could live under such a sky."
Once in a while when im on typeracer that quote shows up and it always makes me think of Reckful
And was it his destined part
Only one moment in his life
To be close to your heart?
Or was he fated from the start
to live for just one fleeting instant,
within the purlieus of your heart
I still cant get over it...
Crying my eyes out. Might sound selfish, but what hurts the most to me is that i dont have anyone i can talk about reckful. Its insane how much i miss him.. how much memories i shared with him... damn
It kills me more and more everyday... that he gave up... i dont get it... i miss him so much.... i wont give up for him
trust me, you don't want to know what goes on in the mind of an insane person :)))) see no evil, yet be realistic
@@deliciouspops how was he insane? commenting on shit just to hate on a dead person
Insanity in a medical way.. He wasn't concious of the end anymore.. He thought dead is the only way he could stop the suffering..@@PHNTMPLAYA
@@PHNTMPLAYAhe wasn’t being a hater…reckful literally referred to himself as insane in his last moments, I assume you aren’t on Twitter
I wish I could say I didn’t see it coming
its almost 3 years now... feels like yesterday still...
i miss that laugh so much
Me 2
its been a year passing and reckful popped up in my mind and just watched this video and cryed abit RIP Byron
i still tear up watching the end part of this video. Thank you for the tribute and we still miss you Byron. You will never be forgotten
I love Byron and miss him so much. He was a hero of mine. I would watch his rogue videos to inspire me and our birthdays were days apart. When we both turned 30 I donated to tell him and he said, "we old together" ...... i wish I really knew him. Byron is a great man. Rest in peace Reckful
thats a sweet memory my man
That's genuine, it seems he really tried to know all of us. Rip.
To me this seem the end of an era. This dude was the millennial gamer personified. With all it's issues (depression, hopeless romantic, "BPD", emotional). I think that is why so many people loved him. They saw a part of themselves in him. I do as well. It is sad to have it end like this. It is like saying goodbye to a part of yourself.
speakkkkk
If you identified with him due to mental disorders then you might want to see a shrink. It's not normal
damn, well written
Yeah. And where were these great ''people'' when Rekful hit the floor? Nowhere. All fake people. All losers looking for clout by taking advantage of his death.
End? End only ever is coming, when you end it. For me - it never ended. In fact, only started. (2012 viewer)
we miss you reckful
Bryon was done bad and he deserves to prosper wherever he is now. He's such an awesome guy aswell you are loved by many
I’d never heard of him before he passed away and now I’m crying. Rest In Peace Byron. You are so dearly missed
:'(
Still miss him a lot, can't get over it...
I just keep expecting him to come back and be like i had nice vacation...
Very good tribute btw...
i miss him
Got this recommend by a friend as "The OG streamers of twitch" didn't know who he was, I feel bad knowing how is story ended. hope you see this LG, you friend.
Come back every so often. Miss ya Byron.
2 years from this tragedy. Miss you byron
Rip legend been a fan since 2013...
Legend in the WoW community but more importantly a really cool dude. Wish he coulda got more help especially from his friends when he needed it most no one was there for him.
I miss this man's mind. One of a kind ❤️
We lost such a beautiful person... Rest east Byron. See you on the next level.
Still thinking of you every day man!
i love this. and i hate this. im so torn.
i hope youve found peace byron.
we love you.
Ive never really had anyone close to me pass away at 23 years old. Ive always struggled with manic depression and bad anxiety, when it would get really bad I would watch Reckful to feel like I belonged somewhere. You would tune into his stream and it was literally felt like you were hanging out with an old friend. Byrons passing has affected me very hard and I grieve as if ive lost a best friend.
Rest in Peace Byron.
You will be missed but never forgotten.
i dont think ur grieving a stranger :>
Hold tight brother, nothing positive comes from such actions.You matter to someone, remember that
My favourite tribute video so far, thank you Noah.
Grew up watching Reckful, I knew he was dealing with depression basically his whole life. I was just a boy and grew up a big fan in to my young adulthood. Knowing he's gone has hurt me more than I thought a parasocial relationship could. It's cause he was so relatable but also motivational. The only "popular/cool" streamer to make typing mainstream, WoW, hs all cool.
Love ya byron, you'll have always shaped a small piece of all of us.
He says things in the most passionate way possible, god it's making me mad that people could choose any guy to bully to their death, especially this amazing man.
Feels good to see other people still watching this, can t belive it s been 3 months
@@felwinter24 no one asked
@@liamlee7730 no one asked for that reply of yours, but i did ask for Bogdan's reply.
back here on christmas day, seeing this makes me feel good.. because of how I remember him.
wow 2 years already thats heartbreaking.
I'm not sure why Reckful's death affected me the way it did. I still wake up daily and hope it's just a cruel joke, I'm still in disbelief. I didn't know Reckful personally but I grew up watching his streams when I was younger. Reckful's passing has made me realise that we need to be better to each other. Rest in peace, Reckful. I hope you are at peace now, you will be missed by many.
I know right, I have no idea why it hit me harder than some other deaths that’s been affect if my life, It’s not like I was his number 1 fan either, I was just a casual watcher ya know here and there for about 7 years and his last stream just freaked me out while I was watching near the end, rip byron
cringe
I feel really sad. I only watched him like two times before he died too, so i didnt even know him, after i found out i checked out more about him and he seemed like a really good person, like a friend...
he will never be forgotten
It’s already been 5😕 it’s weird knowing he’s gone
I'm crying right now... I now that feeling... just hope he rests in peace.
Crazy stuff. Basically watched the highlights of his life gave me goosebumps
Feels like losing a friend, even though I never met him irl. Just from watching and following his streams for 15 years. It's weird how someone you never met, you never exchange a single word with and never saw other then through the resolution of your screen, can have such an impact on you when their gone.
for real... im now 27 going on 28 and ive been watching the man since im like 12-15 years old.... he teached me so many ... he helped me in so many ways... that i dont even understand. he basically saved a lot of live's and he dont even know it . as ive read on some of my idols that passed away. one can save millions but millions sometimes cant save one
looking back at this 4 months later, it really angered me how people treated him. Like he was such a amazing person with only good intentions. Hoping he rest in peace, but it still makes me sad thinking about it. Japan streams with soda was one of the best times. Loved those streams, I remember waking up, stream was on and I was just watching it while having a great time. RIP Byron.
It had nothing to do with how people treated him. Nothing.
I cant shake this uneasy feeling since his death. It's probably affected me more than any other celebrity death. I keep searching reckful like at some point hes going to pop up like nothing happened and it was just a dream. I hadn't watched him in months because of how hardcore my work schedule has been and it kills me to know his mental health had deteriorated since the last time I watched him and he was in a good place. It hurts so much that hes gone. I had started watching him when I was at my worst in terms of my poor life choices and I feel he helped me rebound he just had that kind of personality. I always worried he'd do this at some point as he had so many terrible manic episodes during the years I watched him but he almost always had someone around him during these periods. Knowing he was so lonely in his last couple months and covid making it hard to travel makes me so sad... rip man. You were a good even though you never knew it. So fucking sad man.
LOOL
Holy shit this was beautiful video, thank you for it
I watch this everyday...
Miss him so much... Never met or really talked to him, neither watched him much...
Yet some how really miss him...
It's so lonely now...
Reckful made the game streaming as we know it today.
I love the song clair de lune, and this is how I learned about his passing.
although I never watched him, I still felt something.
Wish u would be here
just opened video and crying already
byron was such an inspiration man, he led me through some rough times in my life with depression and other stuff. i wish he would have found more help and would just turn things around, he didnt have the power to do it. its so sad..i will remember him for all time! RIP BYRON! :(
Watching him just made me feel better… thanks for creating this video and may Bryon Rest In Peace D:
I still cant believe hes gone. We didnt deserve this pure soul
It's not fair :( Hope you're out of pain now, Rekful
I really loved this dude man. Never met him once but watched his stream all the time, miss you my guy. Be well.
When I found out about his passing, I felt like I lost another part of me.
R.I.P Byron
We love you bro
The feeling when he said "Even when I do nothing, I'm happy".
That broke my heart again.
Rest in peace!
This really shows that people who look happy on the outside aren't always happy on the inside. Treat people how you wanna be treated because you never really know what a person is going through. Awesome tribute. RiP to a legend, will be sorely missed.
"with a very happy Reckful" he was someday, and now he will be forever happy!
Im so happy the spain trip happened, that "he nose" clip always makes me laugh.
Thanks for the memories Byron
I really cant believe that hes gone. feels like he's gonna open his stream and say it was all a bad joke. may he rest in peace.
As someone who is currently spending time in hospital for attempted suicide, this hurts but also this is a really good tribute to this beautiful soul. I really wish this guy could of reached out and got help like i did but society nowadays isnt fair and makes it seem like its better to keep problems to yourself. R.i.p dude i really know how you felt and i hope you are happy now. Love u guys if u need help please reach out drugs and self harm is not the answer. If you kill your self you kill a part of everyone who cares about you too. Love you guys whoever you are ♥️ things have to get better and there must be a meaning to life♥️
Thanks for this video, today is the first day i haven't cried from the incident.
Wow this actually made me shed a tear. RIP rest in paradise man.
it's so sad, most of us grew up with watching him and see him grow up aswell.. rip brother
We miss you Byron. Love you man. You would’ve loved what became of the community.
You know, I idolize a bunch of people and some of them have have died too, but never did the death of a person I never even met nor did this person even know I existed break me so fucking much. I cried for days, the world lost a beautiful human being that day., I hope he found the peace he deserves.
I remember watching reckful in the begining of cata, i learned so much from him :( man i miss his streams, the japan ones was so awesome, you know it felt so good seein him so happy in japan, much love everyone
The community wouldn't be the same without you. The community will never be the same without you. We love you man, not a day goes by...
Still miss this man
Reckful has been a great inspiration to me and I am so sad that he is gone. I legit cry every time I think about this. And today on a train in sweden I sat next to someone watching this very vidio and he was crying as well. I made a new friend, so I can saftly say that Byron has had a great impact on me and still has.. Even after his death. RIP
chilling to this day. r.i.p. Reckful. o7
I don’t know why this hurts so much man. It feels so dark. I just feel so bad about it. I never knew him personally but I just wish he was okay.
Still brings me to tears rip Byron
I watched Reckful for 6 years. He is a light. This is crushing me.
He is a light. That just fits. I watched a lot of his IRL streams and the way he smiled was unique. It made you happy. He was such a talkative and fun person to watch (and most likely to be around). Im gonna miss that dude
@@kenraali4829 hope you are both doing okay now
He wasn't appreciated enough when he was alive
He was. You saying this shows you don't even know a clue.
True, but nobody really is
Cried the day i knew about it, cried the second day, cried the whole week and today still did while watching this video, what an amazing tribute, i still wonder how it affects me so much since of course don't know him irl but man, started watching i think more than 10 years ago, he was just so unique and kind-hearted person, felt so connected with the whole mental illness shit... Anyway have to be brave, hope he finally found peace now where he is
2:23, i literally remember, this, it was so good, reckful made a warrior cause they were so op. Zomx with my boy zilea and veev. I miss these days :(
You're a hero for making this.
thank you for making this video much love
