Wow that's incredibly out of nowhere. I only know him from LSV's channel since he's a regular player on that stream. Really young guy.

This is really incredibly sad. I learned about this yesterday and still can't really wrap my head around it. I remember finding out about JBro 5 or 6 years ago by seeing "TeamJbro" constantly at the top of the Vintage Cube Draft leaderboard on MTGO when I would watch people streaming it. I looked up his name and was so happy to see that he was also regularly streaming.

I watched him regularly for years, also admiring him and how incredible his energy was and how happy he always seemed to be. Over the last few years I absolutely noticed his stream taking a more non-interactive, distracted turn. He started streaming much less and less, and when he did it looked like he was not well. I always just thought of it as the tiredness from having 4 young kids, or from his political career and all of the time and energy that takes.

This news is just so counter to everything I ever thought about him but that just shows how you don't really know anything about someone unless you're with them, spending regular time in person, or having regular real conversations with them. We only ever had this image of JBro, but I can't even imagine what kinds of things he was dealing with mentally or emotionally or what.

I feel so incredibly sad, to lose this wonderful person but also for what will be an impossible thing to overcome and try to explain for the family he leaves behind. Those little kids won't have that wonderful dad anymore, and will have to forever find some way to make sense of this if they ever can.

This is just so sad. I and so many others will miss you JBro. You were an amazing person, just through and though, and there was so much positivity that I added to my life that I learned from you. There is so much about you that I have taken into my life and I'm so happy for that.

ETA - 1 final Bless Up for you JBro.
