Came back to pay my respects, if you could see what destiny has become in your absence you’d be amazed and terrified all at the same time. Rest Easy Guardian. Light Speed🤝🏾
*Raises a glass* This is what the gaming community should strive towards. Games are about the experiences and the people we meet. It may only be for a couple hours a day and over the Internet, but real connections are made. When those connections are threatened or severed, the losses are felt. I'm sorry for you losing your friend.
Well done guys. This is beautiful and so well put together. I cried through the whole thing. THIS is what community is about. And I am sure he would be honor to know he helped bring the community together even more. May his light burn on forever in our hearts
As the Destiny franchise slowly dies, I came back to remember a great guardian, and a great clan that memorialized him! Destiny, and the people that played it, were and always great. And nothing can erase that from our memories.
I have watch this video a milion times ... 1 year ago ... and I crying again today. I'm italian ... but ... Joshua ... I'm going to play Destiny 2 ... 3 ... 4 ... 5 ... 12 ... only for you. You wasn't my friend but ... you was a big nice man.
Now this is the law of the jungle, as old and as true as the sky, And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, the law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack. Goodbye, fellow guardian.
Natalie Davis it is a quote from Rudyard Kipling a poet, learn your source material before judging. And no I did Not create it but the connotations hold true
As am I. Wonderful tribute! I've cried twice. My dearest friends little girl Peyton has CF. FUCF! Thank you so very much for this video fellow guardian.
Zachary Laurent Some people don't know how to respond. The dislikes (although are likely trolls) might be to show their grief that someone has passed away. I don't know. Maybe I'm trying to find the good in people too much.
Zachary Laurent Im pretty sure there are people who pretty much make it a full time job to just go around disliking videos its the only thing i can think of.
Josh and I were pretty close in grad school - part of the same cohort, more or less next door to each other, same small group of friends (B, O, A, S - miss you all). I think about him often, even still. I came to this video because I just found out about a new CF treatment, and saw how happy a young man was to receive it. I mostly just wanted to say thanks to this community for remembering our friend in this way. I'm glad to see the love.
Samu Pamu Tonight, there's no master race or plebeians. Tonight, there are no sony ponys or X bros Tonight, there are no factions Tonight, there are no classes Tonight, we are guardians And tonight, we share TheSquashPhD's light
Stephen Perez A Guardian who can brave the darkness of Crota and Skolas must be remembered not with fanboy wars, but with unity. We remember TheSquashPhD as a hero. Tonight we mourn together, regardless of console preference.
perhaps we watched a 3 minutes of an amazing tribute, but I bet his friends watched hundreds of hours of memories flying infront of them. Remember the first legendary, or the first gjallahorn. Remember his first reaction when he got atheon, and how thrilled he was to download crotas end. A 3 minutes clip and an endless amount of memories. Farewell, buried in earth to blossom in heaven.
He went to college to study a way to fight the disease that was killing him. Gotta admire that!!! He went out swinging. Him fighting the good fight is an inspiration to us all. God Speed, Guardian. *SALUTE*
I came across this video today by chance. I did not know this young man, Josh, but he has some incredible friends. The video is moving, shows respect, care and love. May he rest in peace. May God bless and watch over all of you. Semper Fidelis.
I love this side of humanity. The selfless commitment for others. When something strikes a community of any kind. It is not hard to band together. Long live Josh in our memories!
***** I don't think that's realistically possible. It would be nice but there have been a few cases like this before. They can't really do this for everyone. I think the best thing they could do would be to make this the MotW in the Update.
SensoryFour34 they did it in wow plenty of times they should. probably give him his own Legendary Class item depending on what class he played the most and call it Stokell's Shine or Stokel's Blessing. it would be cool if they did.
Farewell to the legendary guardian TheSquashPhD who rose from after the collapse with nothing but a ghost by his side, who took back the skywatch from the hive, who saved the light from the wretched wrath of phogoth, who single handily slain the Kell of the house winter. Who took a vex gate lords eye for his own and used it to destroy the gardens black heart!. He was a crucial part in the team who braved the vault of glass, and destroyed the conflux of time himself, atheon. And much to Eris mourns dismay he was one of the six brave guardians who survived the horrors of the hell mouth, where he slayed the hive God Crota himself he even wore one of crota's generals skull as his own helmet, the general they call the death singer. May he rest in peace, now his light is the travellers.
Thank you for sharing this truly inspiring video. Someone came by and threw a glass of water in my face while I was watching this. Joshua, from one Joshua to another, in the words of WWE Legend The Undertaker, may you forever, rest in peace.
This was absolutely beautiful and moving. I can't watch it without tearing up. I've come across your clan so many times in Crucible and respect it even more. I've sent notes the last few times I've seen one giving my condolences. Even the title of it gets me- a very touching tribute to his memory. May he rest in peace. Also glad to see the No Land Beyond finally put to a good use :-)
I have never Gotten teary eyed at anything game related, this ia a touching tribute. And i was blubbering as the last guardian standing ran into the light. thank you for sharing this special moment with all of us And Rest in Paradise Mr. Stokell i didn't know you personally, but your light has touched so many. Watch over us all Guardian from way up there.
Just reading the details on this man. . . .He did everything within his power as a man living in our day and age to cure himself and prevent his inevitable death, he didn’t take his death lying down, he devoted his life to beating death. Most people won’t put nearly that much effort into self preservation. Guy deserves major props. That man needs to be honored.
One of the best send offs anyone could’ve asked for. I’m sorry for your loss. He seems like he was a good friend, and he was certainly surrounded by good friends. What’s it all for if you don’t have people you care about, who care about you to send you off...
This touched my heart. On June 8th I lost my father to a heart attack. He didn't have many friends in his life to hold a memorial for him or honor him in anyway. Seeing you guys do something as simple as this fills my heart with happiness and brings a smile to my face. Every time I log onto destiny and meet new players I feel like I'm part of a community that brings people together and forms friendships many people wish to have. May your dear friend Joshua and my father rest in paradise.
You and all the guardians we have lost will never see it. But we will hold you all in memories on the day we send the Darkness back to the bog it crawled out of.
still chokes me up, have a close friend I play with that has been fighting the same fight. It's rough but it's nice to see how close people can become with this "just a game". Eyes up.
Wow! Huge inspiration i must say. Being someone who lives with CF, i am currently studying Biomedical science and looking to do further research for CF. I can only hope that i can amount to what others before me have done in the short time that a lot of us have. RIP buddy.

I'm very late but still RIP Josh never knew you but I can tell you touched so many lives May the Light guide you into eternal peace and may your soul find comfort as you now have crossed the Great Divide
this goes to show that when we play, we build a bond with other players. we come to call them brother, sister, friend or even love. these bonds cannot be broken while that person is with us and even after they are gone, they will still be with us. RIP Joshua
RIP Joshua, my fellow guardian! Amazing video & sendoff!!

This is a good thing I think.
You all are the best kind of gamers. Together in this world, and the virtual one. Much respect.
Cried 5 years ago and watched it again today and cried again. RIP guardian.

Thx Belle! And thnx for your continued DOD support!
Belle Bunny I'm sure that your last sentiment will be fulfilled; he was a sunsinger, a light that not even the Darkness can extinguish
Belle Bunny I agree. It was beautiful. RIP Joshua.
Belle Bunny Farewell, fellow Guardian. Your light is a beacon to those who share your trials.
The brightest flames are also those that burn out the fastest. Rip Josh may his legend live on forever.
Chilling. Just chilling. And Beautiful.
and to those 104 people who disliked this video, you have no soul.

My sincere condolences to all friends and family.
May his soul be at peace.

R.I.P Josh. I may not have known you, but judging by this tribute and your story, you were a great man. Really well done guys.
A returning viewer, RIP brother. A reminder to new views, don't ever underestimate the friendships you make. :)
Really touching ... I've never seen a community so all gathered for a user if the world was really like that ... it would be a paradise!

Nada
Rex Planalp Nope, I did too:)

Actually it was a horde of flys multiple times
Nah bro I cried too
A touching tribute for a fellow Guardian. May he be an inspiration to us all as we continue to fight the darkness in all worlds.
"I'm told that the last clip of the guardian going into the light at the end of the abyss is actually a clip of his gameplay."

Amazing we are so blessed to be in this amazing Destiny Community
Five years ago, a great friend and guardian Died. May he rest in peace. He's got all our respects. ❤️
Still watching this over and over again till this day.
Well-done Guardians.
Well said Triplewreck :)
guardians will not be separated by styles and should mourn together as one light,though each class may honor him differently
124 people are just heartless . this is an amazing tribute
This was really heartwarming to watch. This is a perfect example of how great and strong the Destiny community is.
Great Video.
this goes to show that when we play, we build a bond with other players. we come to call them brother, sister, friend or even love. these bonds cannot be broken while that person is with us and even after they are gone, they will still be with us. RIP Joshua
I know it's late saying this but Rest in Peace, my fellow Guardian.
Guardian down.... but not forgotten.
I'm so touched that so many people came together for a great video I'm still crying right now
