Never watched much of Puppers but I know all about him and his ALS. This is awful news. I hope his final days are easy on him.

Rough news to hear. Hope he is with people he loves during his last days.
Didn't watch him on Twitch, but I heard of his sickness. I remember when people made fun of him by the way he talked during a anniversary stream, that was pretty disgusting. Hope those people never will experience what he experienced during the last 3 years.

A word from the developers

I think that part of this game is the face of the streamers who plays it. I really hope that BHVR make something for him in the game, because he deserve it in my opinion.

Your light will forever be the brightest one to shine over this community.
Thank you Max, for everything.

This is really heartbreaking, I know that word has been used a lot but I mean it. I'm not going to pretend like I watched his content, or knew him that well. But it sucks to see someone pass on this way, I know he's made a lot of people smile with his YouTube career and he was incredibly influential in the community and an all around great person.
My heart goes out to his family, his friends, and the people who has made happy over the years with his content. When he passes, may he rest in peace.

This is terrible news. I hope he'll be surrounded by loved ones and know just how big of an impact his life was.

One of the OG Dweet mains, a big Mikey enjoyer, and an all around wholesome guy.
I have been wearing the Puppers charm ever since they released it and always will keep it on my Dweet.

This news hit me like a gut punch. ALS is unspeakably cruel and it's been heartbreaking to watch Puppers' struggles over the past three years - but he always stayed so strong throughout. He's been the best kind of force in this community - one of the greats, who built DBD up into what it is and always reminded us to have a great time more than anything else. Godspeed, Max. Might be time to close your eyes, but you never let it win.
Time to break out the charms and the playlists.

This is tragic I'm still very sad losing Börje Salming to this horrible disease and now another very nice person is soon gone 😢

Puppers was always a source of fun and very entertaining to watch. A very genuine guy and the world will be a sadder place without him.
Prayers, thought and all things positive to him and his family. Thank you for the fun and memories!

That was one of the first video I seen of his. Cheers to a man who bought joy to those around him.

His energy and funny cosplays were unmatched. He was one of the few that was genuinely nice.

I’m trying not to sob but puppers is my favorite content creator for DBD and always will be, he has a special place in my heart and is such a strong person, I hope his final days are joyful and peaceful ones, he has battled through his ALS and his tough moments, continued streaming for us even in his state if decline, and made out to be a huge inspiration for so many and I respect him so much for it.
May he rest peacefully. 💔

My heart broke for him whenever I read his posts on Twitter. It was so hard for him to find light at the end of the tunnel throughout his fight with ALS, but that's where the DBD community would step in and shower him with their love.
My heart goes out to his family and friends. And to the DBD community, thank you for always being there for him in his time of need. We truly have an exceptional community out there. ❤️

Even if I dont know him. Reading the kudos board made me cry and showed me a lot about him. I couldn't read it to end, because my eyes was full of tears from the hearthwarming and heartbreaking messages at same time. Such a beautiful thing that never ends.

Rest in peace, Puppers.

What a heartbreaking story. Wishing his family and friends healing. ❤️

I can’t believe this is actually happening.
I send all love to his family and friends, this is so heartbreaking but what he has accomplished within the last few years while dealing with ALS is not only inspiring but also proves how dedicated he was to his community, he is the defenition of a true warrior.
Rest in peace, an entire community and I will continue to cherish and remember you. I’m from now on keeping the puppers charm on as well.

My heart sank this morning when I read the news and I've been like fighting tears all day. It's completely devestating and unfair, and I've been playing as dwight all day in his honor.

So sad to hear but I take comfort in knowing that Max no longer has to suffer from that terrible condition. He was one of the first streamers I've ever watched. He gave me tons of good ideas for builds. And I'll always remember that time I actually got into SWF session with him. Rest in peace, Puppers.

Rest in peace, Puppers. I just-
I don't have any words that could describe how I feel about this.
I wish the best for his friends, family, viewers, and anybody who knew him and liked him.

I had this special moment in one of my games today. It was 4 Dwights but one of them gave up on hook early. Afterwards we had this moment in endgame and we all stayed around this hook looking at the Puppers charm until the timer ran out. All of them were wearing the charm too.
Rest in peace Puppers.

RIP Puppers ❤️

I did not know him at all but there's been so much outpouring of support for the man on DBD Twitter and on here that I still setup my Dwight to pay my respects (bald head, Puppers Charm).
That is way too damn soon and an absolutely brutal disease to have to go through

Rest in Peace, Puppers. We'll miss you ❤

RIP my guy, i hope his family and friends have the support they need ❤️

There is a GFM for his final experiences. I would link it here for those able/willing to donate but I'm not sure if the forum rules would allow it.

Wasn't a regular viewer, I checked in from to time but my heart absolutely breaks for him and those closest to him. Life is cruel, life is unfair and unfortunately it robbed someone truly great of a life. Max didn't deserve what happened to him but anyone who kept up with him throughout these years known he fought damn hard and his strength is only what I can hope to have if I ever have to face something as cruel as what he faced. I know someone's passing can be hard, for that I fully give my wholest condolences to his friends and family. If I could hug them indefinitely, I would.
Puppers is free of the chains that held him down for far too long in life, he's finally somewhere without pain and while I didn't know him personally, I'm grateful he is no longer suffering even if it means we have to be without him.
Rest in peace, Max. Heaven gained a wonderful angel today. I will be wearing the Puppers charm to honor you and what you fought for.

Rest easy puppers

What a heavy handed reminder that life is the most precious of things. Dealing with something as cruel as ALS...your life was far to brief brother, and you were far stronger than I am, I hope you are at peace, wherever you are.
I hope that everyone can take a moment to look inward and remember what truly matters in life, because you never know what will happen, to those you love or to you. Puppers my brother, rest in peace and no matter what the afterlife holds for you I am sure you will continue to be a warmth to all around you, as you were to us.
My prayers go out to your family and loved ones Max, rest in peace.

This is very heartbreaking. It’s so surreal how a person’s life can be stripped away and nothing can be done about it. Rest in Peace Puppers. ❤️

I arrived much too late to really get to appreciate puppers, that being said just the community which is usually super divisive coming together to show their respects speaks volumes of what he was capable of. I've never heard a negative thing about him just all positive and the streams that i did watch we're all fun and smiles. I've been rocking his charm since it dropped just to show support. Let's keep the spirit of puppers alive by remembering to just enjoy the game and always have fun in every scenario and at the very least treat everyone decent. I didn't get to really know you puppers but hopeful your family, friends and yourself are at peace.

I can't entirely recall when I found Puppers' stream (iirc 2018 if I had to guess), but he always made a bad day better, just by being his incredible, caring, funny self. His cosplays were always top tier, and made us in chat feel like an extended virtual family making sure we all stayed comfy.
I'm just gutted. He was always a reminder not to take things too seriously, especially video games. I have a 2.5yo nephew, and because of Max, my nephew will know to Stay Comfy, because like he said so many times, "If you're comfy, you're winning"
Rest in Peace, Puppers. Always loved, and never forgotten. <3

I'm really struggling to find the words that are running through my mind right now, but I'll try my best. Firstly, my condolences to all of his family and friends, who have been with him throughout all of this. Max was a warm soul who left an imprint on all of us, and will not be forgotten. I'm not sure how long I watched him for, but I've been a fan of DBD since the pre-release days, so I guess it has been quite a few years. Puppers was my one and only favourite streamer, no other streamer could ever compete because he had an odd aura of kindness about him that I never really saw anywhere else. He made a great impact on me and how I perceived the game, so great, in fact, that when he received the news of his diagnosis, I was so upset that I stopped playing the game, because whenever I tried to, all I could think about was his health. I was in the first stage of studying to become a doctor, so, I knew the exact prognosis, and, well, you know...
I planned to return to the game, but as his disease progressed, that became increasingly difficult, because I always knew what things were most likely to come next. Eventually, once it reached a certain point, and I still hadn't played, I vowed to myself only to return to the game once he had passed, so that it would be all over, and he would be "okay" again. Around the same time, I stopped watching the new streams, and rather watched the old vods over and over again. I have not been up to date at all for probably 2 years.
Recently, I suddenly found myself launching the game again, as well as wanting to pop in on the next stream for the first time in a really long time. For a couple of days now, I thought I had broken my vow, but, as it turns out, unbeknownst to me at that point, I returned to the game exactly on the day of his death. I only learned that just now. I don't know exactly what to make of that information. Coincidence or an odd intuition, I don't know what caused my sudden impulse to return at that exact time, but what I do know is that I will always think of him and honour him when I play. <3 Thank you for the awesome memories throughout the years, Max.

Hope he finds his rest now without this terrible ALS. Rest in peace.

Does anyone know if his store is still active? I wish I bought a shirt when he was around to know it but I would love to have one now that he has passed to have a memory of an amazing person who, although I didn't know him personally, impacted me more than I even realized until he was gone.
Does anyone know what will happen to his Twitch Channel? I subbed every month and would continue if it played old footage and the money went to ALS research.
