    • Sorry for your loss, Tommy was a great person, I hadn’t found out his real name until he passed. But I played role play games with him, particularly Garrys Mod Santon, he loved to RP Officer, and sometimes bandit. I have a video here, which contains some profanity, but you can hear Thomas Richey, so full of life and love. I will not forget him. He went by Marcus in games. Saddens me, can happen to anyone. Thanks China.

    You watched my channel for years, you looked after the channel for years. You were such a huge part of my life and Steph’s.

    You will forever be missed, forever be loved. Good Bye Tommy.
