Thank you for saying the kind words about Don; he will be missed, though he leaves quite a legacy in the homelab space (among other areas!).
I'd say thanks for your video as well had it not had me bawling my eyes out for a good 30 minutes or so... haha.
He’s definitely leaving behind a legacy and impact on this community, and I don’t think we’ll ever fully realize just how big it really is.
Crushing news yesterday, and I'm completely at a loss for words. Like you, I never got the opportunity to meet Don in person, but had a ton of great moments with him online. His passion and positivity are certainly going to be missed.
Super sad. I loved his videos. An he was 100% always positive, and excited, and just so incredibly passionate about what he was doing. I'm sorry to his family for their loss. If it's ok, I'm going to link to your video over on my channel as a post. Thanks for this. Be well!
By all means 👍🏻
And thanks for the comment
ah man, rip Don. He was an amazing creator
He was indeed. Gone way too soon...
Oh shit, sad news.
Thoughts and prayers for his family.
Donating to a 529 is a fantastic way to honour someone like Don
Thank you for sharing. I found his channel about the same time I found yours. RIP Don
The first time UA-cam got a notification timing correctly.
I hope you're doing okay, I'm sorry for your loss
Thanks, I'm doing alright. It was more so a loss for the community as a whole.
Wasn't ready to hear this news. May he rest in peace!
his content was goated tbh
🐐 indeed
Saw the announcement on Jeff Geerling's channel as well. Heartbreaking, Don will be missed.
We are gonna miss you buddy Rest in peace 🕊️
Damn, I really enjoyed his content as well. Thanks for making a video about him. Rest in power Don.
Thank you for this video, you are a good guy. I didn’t know he was ill. Thank You and RIP in Don, you will be missed.
His enthusiasm for the tech was only matched by how genuine he seemed.
RIP, Don. Hack the afterlife 'til it hertz.
Thank you for letting us know. Thank you for sharing your words. Thank you for showing us it's right to talk.
Don's resilience and contribution live on!
Thanks for sharing. He had a wonderful channel. So sad to hear of his passing. My thoughts go out to his family. Major loss to the tech community!
He was one of the first channels that helped me get my first attempt at a Proxmox Home Lab set up as I was just learning how to navigate Linux. His videos and energy was pleasent to enjoy and learn from. He will be missed! Rest in peace Don, may you build the best Homelab up there wherever you are!
Rest in peace Don. He was a really nice creator.
Life can be tough and unfair, but also beautiful and full of love. Thank you for sharing
My heart is broken.. he is the one who push me to the raspberry pi with pi-hosted.. thank you don for everything
He was the only driving force that made me get into Linux, NAS, Raspberry pi and all those stuff.. He will be missed. RIP
Same here.
RIP Don, you will be missed by many!
Indeed, Don's infectious enthusiasm sparked my interest in self hosting. I loved his style - fun, pure, simple and to the point. He will be missed! As a tribute, I'm rewatching many of his excellent self hosting videos from the past few years.
Sorry for your loss. I know the pain of losing someone to cancer. Mom died a couple years ago from it. My prayers go out to the family.
I need to go watch some of Don's old videos, out of both curiosity and respect.
Thank you for sharing this and the info for supporting his family. I think i can say for all that Don will truly be missed.
Oh man, that's so sad. I love his channel and seem like a very cool dude.
RIP Don
NOOO!! 😭
Thank you for making this video and letting us remember the great guy and tech youtuber Don.
I really like his videos cause they, like yours, are down to earth and show a genuine interest in technology and sharing with others.
Don you really will be missed and never forgotten.
Rest in peace Don. Gives me chills. Good guy and great content. He will certainly be missed.
Don loved what he did, you could see it in his videos. He had an effect on many of us. I love the respect you are showing for Don and his family. Thank you for what you do and thank you for sharing this uneasy news.
Don’s influence reached far beyond borders. I’m from Italy, and while my passion for technology and my career as a DevOps engineer have many roots, Don’s videos had a huge impact on my journey. Thanks to him, I’ve built my own homelab and explored countless services. I never met him, but his passing hit me really hard. Thank you, Don. You will never be forgotten.
Such a sad news... He was a great inspiration for us tech enthusiasts...😢😢
Nice video thank you, Don was a good teacher learnt a ton from him from hi UA-cam channel. Its very sad and his spark helped everyone try stuff and tinker.
RIP Don and condolences to his family.
He was a positive light and his influence and passion impacted many, myself included.
To Hardware Haven, I hope you find solace and resolve in this trying time.
Sincerely, a fan

Rest in peace don & thank you!

I will definitely miss Don. He was always powerful from his heart. A very kind and polite person. I loved watching him work while generating a truly great experience in his videos. Not many have the calling to help others as he did.
Thank you Don! Rest in peace.
Colton, thanks for sharing your heart felt remembrances of Don and Nova Spirtit Tech. We will all miss Don, his insights and his joyful presentations of his love of computers and technolgoy! So everyone, "Hack til it hertz." We'll miss you Don!

Damn, that's sad news. I really enjoyed his content and he seemed like a great guy. RIP King
No wayyyy im so sorry. RIP Don, my condolences goes to the family.
Aah man. Not the kind of update I wanted to see in my feed tonight. RIP Don, you will be missed.
Awwwww.... I loved his videos too and was sad by the news last year. Rest In Peace homie. The world loves you and time is one dimension we live in, and is not one direction as it seems. The spirit is eternal.
OH NO! I knew of this and was subbed, yet this is still a shock! So sad, thanks for the info though, RIP! 😥
It's sad. I was expecting more content from him. He will be missed. He did an excellent job.
It's a big loss, he was a cool guy with a great delivery.
RIP Don, love you videos and learned so much from you
Yup, it hurts. Thank you for everything, Don. The lives you've touched and continue to touch with your videos will make you immortal.
Rest in peace, Don!
He was a huge reason why I got into Raspberry Pi stuff, helped restore my love of linux and messing with the OS.
Got me to go back into tinkering. This is a sad day.
He will certainly be missed and my best to his family and friends.
I first saw one of Don's videos about 3 years ago when I was researching OpenAuto Pro. I've been keeping up with his content ever since. This is a loss for so many people. My condolences to his family.
I've been dreading watching these videos for the past couple of hours. I wish i had something comforting or witty to say. But there are no words.
Oh my god I just started watching his videos last week! His explainers are so perfect!
Sorry to hear this. Don had a great channel and I was an avid viewer of his. My condolences to his family and friends.
Thank you for your content Don, you are a youtube legend. You have changed the life of many and you will be deeply missed. Best wishes to your family. Thanks HH for you kind comments.
Touching video, thank you
Thankyou for making this video, he shure will be missed.
His video's projected he being a nice guy with a heart for IT!
Sad news 😢, RIP Don, thank you so much for such amazing content and contributions to tech community and computer enthusiasts.
I watched Don very early. There are no words to describe how sad I am.
Wow! I’m so sorry to hear this news. Rest in Peace Don.
I watched his videos because of you man, tough video to make but thank you for doing it...RIP Don
I'm sorry dude, thank you for sharing. R.I.P Don.
The tears got me. I’m saddened to hear this too. Even knowing it was a highly possible outcome.
He was my inspiration on linux
Damn, this is sad news. I followed him for years and I heard about the cancer news recently. RIP to Don. He’ll be missed
His videos were the first ones I watched that got me into selfhosting which led me to all of the other youtubers like yours. Don't will be missed and may he rest in peace
Thanks to inform us. I'm Mozambican, Portuguese speaker, struggling to understand and speaking English. I have ben watching Dons videos to build my own homelab and create my own content on UA-cam. I personally will miss him. Honestly his video's changed my life and now I'm sad to notice that he passed. I started to wonder when was not showing his face on videos and i though something is going wrong with him. RIP
Don will be missed. I learned a lot from his channel and from him. He always did a great job
I'm genuinely going to miss Don. I'm a mod on his discord channel and am saddened, shocked from the loss along with the community who he has impacted. "A true friend i never really gone. Their spirit lives on in the memories of those who loved them" Rest in peace my friend 😢
Damn, this news hurts. Don was a wonder light in this world of Tech. I will cherish his content and am so grateful for his knowledge he shared.
I was fan of his work, don channel had Huge impact on my tech endeavors, he will be missed
OMG, praying for his family. Watching Don’s videos helped me. I was introduced to conky. RIP
RIP, prayers for his family 🙏🙏🙏
Crazy to hear, I just watched his latest video not long ago. R.I.P Don
Sad news. RIP, Don.
I'm sorry for your loss
Sad to see a fellow tech nerd go
*raises hand to the sky* Hack till it hurts.
Wow...that hits hard and even though i only know him from yt this makes me so sad. I did not follow him so much, but he was one, if not the person who introduced me to Linux, OMV, networking and storage-management. I learned so much from him and his videos were good bc they came from a guy in is homelab who shared his new tech and knowledge.
I will never forget what he created and i think many more will learn a lot from his videos.
Rest in peace and simply...thank you!
very sad to hear about don’s passing. i noticed his domain was down last week when i was tryjng to get info about an old tutorial on tiny core linux. he hosted his site through cloudflare and simply thought a computer was just taken down. i hopped onto his discord and didn’t see any health news then so thought he might have been ok. again, very sad to discover his passing through this video but thanks for letting us know. he will be greatly missed. he provided much positive learning content and friendship in his channel and on discord. rest in peace.
Rest in peace Don!
Rest easy Don ❤
I watched his videos... I had no clue
Thanks for everything you've done, Don! You'll be missed! 😭
So sad to hear this. R.I.P Don.
A shock - didn't realise he was so ill. RIP Don...
Damn man, this came a lot sooner than I was hoping for... Was hoping for things to just work themselves out and that he would continue to thrive in the tech community. The home lab and tech community has been the best community I have ever been a part of and Don, and many others, including yourself, are who introduced me to the concept of a home lab. Don will be greatly missed.
Lost, but not forgotten. We will miss you Don
RIP don . thanks for this video , you're a good guy
It's so unbelievable to me what had happened. One day you're watching a tech guy doing a video about some software, the other day he's dead.
We should appreciate people more and not take for granted things will always be the same.
Rest in peace, thank you for sharing with the community Don.
this hurts i watched many of his vids such a great guy
RIP Don and we'll all miss you.
RIP Don. You will be missed
