Man. 2026 just keeps ripping away all the best and brightest we've ever known. This is such a massive blow to the fandom.
I didn't know Jaiy personally, but I do wish you the absolute best in the future, Pocket. Take care buddy.
This is devastating news….. Pocket I'm so, so sorry for your loss.
Jaiy was always so kind and supportive. This is so tough to hear…. I’ll truly miss him. May he rest in peace
Take care of yourself and take all the time you need to grieve.
Man…. My condolences goes to him. I never chat 1:1 with him but I’ve been following him for a couple of years and loved the artworks he gets. When I heard this news I was shocked and found hard to believe. I hope he rest well.
I didn't know him well, but when I first started doing commissions he was there supporting me, even though I barely knew what I was doing. Every chance I had to speak with him over the years he was always so open and kind.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Jaiy was always fun to chat with. One of the cute coasters they gave us still sits out in the living room. Devastating to hear they're gone. I'm sorry for your loss
I have nothing but fond memories of him from way back and following his adventures. Just makes me feel sick, feels so unreal. I'm so sorry you had to lose someone so special.
So sorry for you loss. Jaiy was a pleasure to work with and i was always happy to interact with him or spot this gooey deer in the wild of other peoples art. So shocked to learn he's no longer here...
Oh my god.
I'm in shock.
I'm so sorry. He was such a kind soul. So supportive of the community. Always giving gifts and bringing joy to others. One of my favorite people to work with, always.
Been processing the news since I heard it, but you know more than anyone just how impactful and helpful he’s been in so many people’s lives. I’m glad we got to spend the time we did together, and you have mine and the entire communitie’s deepest condolences.
Oh. ... I never met Jaiy, but his posts and commissions always made me a bit happier whenever I saw them. Rest in peace, Jaiy. ❤️ Thank you for all the happiness you brought to this world.
This is extremely shocking and disappointing to learn... I wasn't super close to them, but they seemed like an extremely nice person and made an impact in my early introduction to the fandom, being one of the people I roomed with at my first ever conventions in 2017...
They were even nice enough to let me try on their fursuit for a short walk around the dealer's den and lobby, my first and still only experience in a fursuit, which was amazing... For that, I'll always remember him ❤️
I am so freaking sorry for your loss. I didn't know him, but friends of mine are feeling this loss hard. That speaks volumes to how wonderful he must have been.
I'm so sorry for your loss :(
I talked with him a few times a few years ago when I was in SF stidying, we nevergot the chance to meet but he was always so nice and supportive. He will truly be missed.
I send you hugs and good wishes.
Holy shit I'm so sorry. I didn't know Jaiy, I don't think we ever interacted, but I saw that deer all over this fandom. They were really influential for me actually. Know that this fandom has your back if you need anything, there is so much love in this comments section.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't even get a chance to know him until now, which I feel bad just thinking about that because I feel like I could've done my best to do something to help him if I did. May he rest in peace.
