William had a lot of friends and followers. It’s astounding to scroll through the tremendous outpouring of emotion from people who knew him. Hundreds, maybe thousands of people — from close friends who call themselves his brothers to internet strangers who’ve only seen him in online videos or heard him on podcasts — voicing shock, sorrow, and loss.
I’d like to repost or link to some of the astonishing things I’ve learned about my brother here. Eventually. What make it tricky is how differently everyone knew him. Context, in this case, really matters.
The Earth is less creative with you no longer walking it. What an incredible person. I know you’re not here, but you’re still with us. We will all meet (and train) again soon, doc.
