RIP Rick May (1940-2020)

Today, Rick May sadly passed away from co-vid19. Rick May was the voice actor for Team Fortress 2’s soldier. TF2 is a game which almost every Overwatch player is familiar with- without TF2, Overwatch would not exist. Jeff has stated TF2 is one of his favourite games, and I as an Overwatch player think we can all agree that it is truly a gem.

I know this post isn’t directly Overwatch related, but the majority of OW players know and adore TF2. I just wanted to spread the news and let people know. Thanks for reading, and RIP Rick May.

Yep, he voiced them alongside many other games. TF2 is the one which reached the most people, though.

Sorry he has passed, but at least be truthful in the details.

This is becoming a pet peeve… misrepresentation of cause of death. It’s due to complications, not strictly the virus.

IT MEANS WE CAN’T TELEPORT BREAD ANYMORE.

Rest in Peace Rick May. Your talent and dedication brought joy to millions.

Man. This is sad. I can’t say I have played much TF2, but I’m well aware of that game’s enormous influece on this one. And have seen a lot of the fan content as my brothers used to love playing it.

R.I.P May

TF2 servers are having a ceasefire at the moment. Come give the game a visit- I don’t play often, but I gotta pay my respects.

covid not a joke, I was symptomless for almost two weeks after initially catching mild case of it, it hit me like a train again yesterday, panicked when suddenly I am having trouble breathing and my heart going crazy.

I am in early twenties, no medical diagnosis, no allergies, normal weight.

Be careful guys.
