Twitch streamer “Puppers,” who had MND, passed away at the age of 32.
Three years after receiving a diagnosis of “motor neuron disease (MND),” well-known streamer “Puppers” passed away at the age of 32.
The American Twitch streamer gained notoriety while playing the survival game “Dead by Daylight,” where he was admired for his optimism.
After learning about his diagnosis, the gaming community came together to support him and created the Light in the Fog Foundation, which raised $270,000 (£216,00) to help with his medical expenses.
The organisation referred to Puppers as being “forever in our hearts, eternally comfy” in reference to his slogan.
Puppers, a.k.a. Max, would encourage his viewers to “stay comfy, because if you’re comfortable, you’re winning” as he ended each of his streams.
In 2020, the streamer received a diagnosis of ALS, the most prevalent type of MND.
The NHS states that it produces weakness that worsens with time and damages the brain and nerves. Though there is no known treatment for the illness, there are ways to lessen how it affects a person’s day-to-day activities.
In an effort to gather money for his care, more than “150 Dead by Daylight” broadcasters worked together over a number of days. This effort was aided by the support of internet celebrities like “MrBeast,” the YouTuber with the most subscribers in the entire world.
The organisation is currently appealing to the public for additional funds to help pay for his burial expenses as well as any unpaid medical bills associated with his treatment.
The gaming industry as a whole has been overwhelmingly supportive, referring to him as “a kind soul we didn’t deserve” and “a true gaming champion.”
The creators of Dead by Daylight referred to him as “one of the brightest lights in The Fog,” a feature that aids in keeping players hidden from one another, and had previously contributed an item to the game in his honour.
Hundreds of fan responses to the news were posted at the same time, each ending with Puppers’ distinctive sign-off. Many of the comments wrote, “Rest easy, stay comfortable.”
