Sorry for the late reply, but I just heard about this. I'm shocked and saddened at this sudden loss, and I send best wishes to those who knew him personally.
Derrick's passing has got me rewatching Animated, and enjoying it a ton, havent seen most of these since it aired. Which of course has me buying the toys again. I used to have nearly all of them.
“We almost made the mistake of getting something generic so it would be ready for his memorial in August. Instead we had this custom-made to be something he would like. I’m no poet, but I did my best to write a Haunted-Mansion-style epitaph.” - https://twitter.com/deniisubi/status/1646616915475931137?s=46&t=qafvhd_bRrC1ayC2BqM_Mw
I saw this yesterday and it's an absolutely beautiful monument to Derrick. And you probably won't because it's the private business of the family.
Very sad he died so young. Very talented man. I thought he died of heart attack, though if the thread created citing his sister (and obituary) are incorrect, I hope mods can step in to clear it up. Derrick J. Wyatt's Obituary Posted Online
See, normally when someone who has amassed a large following passes, we usually learn what took them.
That's such an entitled take. People are allowed privacy, especially in something as horrible as as a loved one dying before their time.
'Animated Season 4' was always a pipe dream, but I really don't think I'd wanna see it happen now Just wouldn't feel right without the most passionate and driven member of the team involved
Ah, sorry. Had a rough dream last night about a family member who died not too long ago, but I shouldn't have let it get to me like that
so there's gonna be a huge memorial this august, i assume to celebrate what would've been his birthday. god I miss DJW, he was truly one of us.
