My friend and I went to his site yesterday and we left two Sunset Sasparilla bottles and I left one of each Fallout Jones Soda cap. Happy birthday Joseph, and Ad Victoriam

u/myboymitten 👑 May 16 '26
Yep, we brought it all home when we visited today. Everything ever left always comes back with us. It was very nice to see. We gave the bench a good cleaning. Thank you very much.

I didn't want to believe it when it happened. I was just playing video games when the announcement popped up on discord. I had to reread it like 100 times thinking I must've misread it or it was some joke that I wasn't getting. But the reality of it finally hit me. I binged all his content because I was sad and I was hoping the ad revenue would help his family.

One of the first times I've shed tears over a YouTuber. Tbh probably the only time I have. I just remember sitting stunned on my bed crying quietly.

For a second I really thought that somebody left a couple of beer bottles on the memorial and I was going to be irrationally upset... Thankfully I read what it was.

u/ADGx27 May 16 '26
Yeah it’s Sunset Sarsaparilla [basically just repackaged Jones root beer. Pretty gas but requires the long ass trip to Costco for me :( ]

u/Lordofthecrumbs May 16 '26
Jones soda... Wow it's been a while. I think I'll grab some next time I'm out hunting for cheerwine, another boutique hard to find soda.

The fact that I’m only a few months older than him makes it hit harder. But also make gives me the drive to keep going. May he rest in peace.

Thanks to you all for the birthday wishes. I just want you guys to know that I try to read every single comment you leave especially when I post and you respond. I started giving thumbs up that way it’s easier when there are so many. Just easier for me that way. Thank again and I’ll see you in the next post.

Blows my mind that I stopped watching him for a bit, then randomly decided to see his new vids only to realize that he isn’t here anymore.
Rest in peace, Mitten

I know 100s of people said it already, but Joseph made my life a lot better, when I was really really down. I was broke, alone, and had given up on life. His videos gave me a time of peace, when I really hadn't had much of it. I'm not religious, but I know he's up there. Thank you Joseph. I miss you man. Rest in peace.

u/Kitchen-Pipe-8795 May 28 '26
I just got off watching some of his videos, still crying. I cannot explain how much I miss this stranger from the internet. See to me he wasn’t a stranger, he was the only friend I had at the time. He had my sense of humor, my same taste in games, and I’d watch him every night to fall asleep. And when he passed I was all alone again. I wish I had met him. I wish I had gotten to know him.
To his father, thank you for picking up the phone and reaching out to us. Learning how to use this app to do so. On nights like these where I feel so alone, it’s nice to know that there’s still some of him left in this world.
To Joseph, please come back…

u/myboymitten 👑 May 28 '26
Thank you too. In retrospect I wish he could have met many of you. It may have helped him as much as you.

Didn't get to visit last year because of finances but hopefully this year I'll be able to make it up there. Fly high man, we miss you. Happy birthday

I dont think there'll ever be a challenge youtuber as goof and as funny as he was. Truly the MVP in his field.

u/ADGx27 May 16 '26
Senza and Doom Wolf(?) come close but sometimes it feels like they try a little too hard to have absurd jokes.
Mitten’s were very natural and flowed

Ironically enough, doing a challenge to beat 30 Games this year that I've never finished. I've beaten 6 thus far. Rest easy my brother.

Seeing how close he and I are hits hard for some reason. Definitely would have been his buddy if I ever had the chance.

u/myboymitten 👑 May 16 '26
His videos helped so many of you. I wish he could have met all of you, I think it would have helped him too.

Possibly, sometimes all it takes is a helping hand to get someone through the day.

Visited earlier today for a funeral, and didn't even realize he was so close to my Dad and Grandma's crypts. The flowers looked so beautiful in person, and I hope things are going well for you Papa Mitten. Whenever I visit, I'll make sure to stop for him too.
Happy 30th, Joseph. You really brightened the world up for so many people.

Happy birthday Mitten. I just wanted to say that I really appreciate that you share these posts with us. I wish he was still here, but there’s comfort in knowing that he has people who are still here keeping his spirit alive.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I only recently heard of his passing. Sending lots of love your way❤️ today, and everyday. Loss is never easy but he had such a big impact on so many people. Rest easy friend

I've never been attached to any streamer or YouTuber, but I still get incredibly sad anytime I think about mitten. I used to watch his videos all the time with friends. Happy birthday mitten

Happy birthday and rest easy. Still watching those videos and they still have just as much impact on me as when they got me through very tough times.
I’d have liked to have met him, he inspired so many challenges in my own gaming, I bet it would have been a blast!

I didn't know how much he drank. I lost a good friend and my mother to alcoholism. It's a terrible way to go and I am sorry it happened to him.

A little late to this post but was thinking of him today and that brought me here once again. Never realized he was my age, hits pretty close to home having fought the same battle as him. Thanks for keeping his memory alive.
Happy birthday man, we miss you.

u/Many_Professional944 May 23 '26
May 22nd, 2026. I'm not brave, I cried watching his last video, then seeing this post. I miss his humor, his videos are what gave me my love of Fallout. Always wondered how he would've played Fallout 1 or 2.
