Thank you. And urk too.
One of my favorite memories- my first and (probably forever) only platinum... we almost 5 manned it!
Is there anything we can do to help the family?

I'll remember making him hype with my 3v1s in Trials.

And him making fun of me for getting REKT by the pistons in our first KF blind raid.

Just found out about the news. My condolences to Drizz's family.
I only played with him a handful of times and he help me with my first Skolas kill. He will be missed.

That means a lot coming from you guys, thanks for this. It's truly a testament to what a great game was made by the entire team at Bungie that lead to such an amazing community like this. Unfortunately in all the good times, there will inevitably come some very bad times. Drizzay indeed was one of the Guardians of Legend.
It's maybe just a silly idea... Perhaps, I speak too boldly, or it's outside the realm of possibility, but would it be an idea to create a Ghost in his name? So he can continue to give us advice in the Destiny world and so we can continue to carry him with us in the game we all played so fondly with him? Just thinking of ways to commemorate him. I don't know how others would feel about that though.

Just found out, honestly speechless. He was such a cool guy and an amazing member of the Destiny community. RIP and condolences to his family.
Man, Drizzay was such a warm and welcoming guy. I still vividly remember the time I got my first Ghorn and he was giving out the Gorgon checkpoint. This was in March 2015 and I had gone 6 months without getting one so when it dropped I freaked out so hard. Drizzay was there with me and was probably even more hyped than I was that I got it haha.
Glad I have some moments like that to remember. RIP Drizz.

Rip Drizz. True hero in this community. Lost for words right now.
In life the only certainty is death. Though I never knew drizz, a short view at dgaf and his kindness and generosity is clearly apparent. On the other side, whatever it may be, I'm certain he will be welcomed and embraced by former loved ones and his light will only burn brighter through his family that mourns him. It's always tragic when a member of a community passes, but when it's one as strong, passionate, and kind hearted as drizz was, it's effect is immeasurable. His family will continue, we will continue, and his pillar will remain, because of the strong foundation he built with the community here, as well as the community involved in his personal life. Condolences to his family and to his friends.
RIP Brother.
RIP Brother.

Sincerest condolences to his family and friends 
A terrible terrible shame.
I never got to play with him (or many of you) as we are separated by a gulf of market forces but I've lurked in the OT's since the beginning...I could tell he was incredibly helpful, and loved helping out other people ALL the time.
Flawless raids, flawless trials, a crazy number of skolas runs for MoT, checkpoint holding...the list goes on.
The last few pages of posts are a testament to the impact he's had in this community, and I'm sure he had an even bigger one out in the wider world.

Fuck. There are no words. Like many here I am in shock and denial.
I don't think it's even possible to list everyone he helped in this game. During House of Wolves all I remember is him soloing up to a skolas repeatedly then taking 2 people through at a time to complete their triumphs. The many trials runs he did to get people to Mercury. The hype in his voice when we got their or even when a big play was made.
He always had time for everyone and did so much for this community. But fuck, this is so shit.
Next OT title should mark this event. Mehrmantrouts suggestion of Guardian Down seems fitting. We've got some massive boots to fill on that op.
Dude you are going to be missed by everyone. Thoughts go out to his family. Has anything been setup for them?

I haven't thought about Destiny in a while but just heard about Drizzay. I still remember the mad 5am dashes to get checkpoints and chests and whatnot.
RIP.

Drizzay helped a lot of my friends in the BetrayThis community and they all have incredibly nice things to say about him.
Absolutely gutted. Drizzay had time for everyone, and was a blast to play with. I haven't played in a while, but was hoping to jump back in soon to get ready for ROI. Heartbreaking to think he'll never be active on the roster again, he was almost ever present at one point.
He would have gotten married just before me (been married 3 months the end of this month). I can't begin to imagine what his family must be going through. My condolences to his nearest and dearest.

Oh my god. This is horrific. Drizz was one of the nicest and most caring and helpful guys I've ever had the pleasure to play with. His advice helped become a better Trials player and better at pvp overall. My second Mercuty run was with him. He always strove to help me improve rather than just be carried. Seemed like a genuinely good hearted person which makes this heartbreaking. My thoughts are with his family and all of you guys who are also like family here. I'll miss his commentary hugely. He had a big positive impact on my life and I will never forget him. Looking at my friends list is going to make me cry next time I log in I think. Love you guys even though I don't know you that well. This community is beautiful.
Rest easy, Drizz. 😢

RIP, legend.
I haven't played with him since year one when I rolled on PS4. It's amazing to see all the lives he's touched here on GAF. OTs will never be the same. I like the next subtitle idea of "guardian down"

These gray skies over Houston are very fitting right now. I think Osiris needs another member of his flock in game, Brother Drizzay. I also like the ghost idea someone mentioned if Bungie would do something that cool. Really wish I was able to play more with him, and the rest of you all for that matter.

reposting for the new page. RIP
The ghost idea sounds like a lot of work unless it's just a skin that references him in the name or flavor text.
Guardian Down isn't bad but I feel like in loving memory of drizz or something would be more tasteful.
I'm gonna share here what I wrote on twitter:
We lost a great leader and friend. You've done so much for our community. You were the one that kept this community going. Whenever someone needed help with something, you were always the first to reach out. So many folks got to Mercury, completed their MoT Year 1 requirements, killed Skolas, and beat the raid (flawless or not) thanks to you. Whenever we got out of control here or lost our minds, you were there to steer the ship back on course. You did so much for us and we never got to say thanks for it all. You didn't had to take time away from your life to help us out with Mercury or raid runs but you always did. So thank you. Thank you for everything you have done for this community. You may be gone now but you will not be forgotten. Rest in peace, DrDrizzay101.

I don't know, Todd. To us, Destiny was a huge part of Drizz's life. I think he would be honored, personally.
Yeah true, I was thinking more along the lines of a Grimoire ghost that you find.
That would work also, whatever is decided will be fitting to the memory. To the person making the thread 😭

I just heard the news. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. Such a driving force of this community. He will be missed.
A grimoire ghost would be really cool.

On a total whim I decided to check out the Destiny OT today for old time sake...
Wow... Absolutely heartbreaking. I can't believe it. He was a great person, RIP.

RIP. A patient, kind, helpful, and all around great guy. The Fun Runs won't be the same without you Drizz.
