my dearest and best friend took her own life about seven years ago and I've still not gotten over it. I myself battled with the sickness of suicidal tendencies for many years too, though I feel great now. It's really sad to see when this happens.
In Memory of Justin Carmical

I'm sure like many people on PixlBit I enjoy watching the Internet Reviews. Since I've discovered James Rolfe,The Angry Video Game Nerd, I've been introduced to other reviews, from Doug Walker's videos to Noah Antwiler and others on TGWTG.com. Justin Carmical, known to the Internet as Jew Wario, was one of those reviewers I've watched. Granted I haven't watched every video he made but I enjoyed watching them when I did, especially his valentine special with Michael Bennett and his contribute and performance with Lewis Lovhaug and Will Dufrense for the Pokemon movies reviews.
On Thursday, January 23 of 2014 Justin Carmical passed away. His wife, Jenny Valentine, has posted the following on Facebook:
"It is with a very sad heart that I must confirm my husband, Justin Carmical, sometimes known as the Jew Wario died on Thursday, January 23rd.
I also have to confirm he shot himself, but he was not alone, he locked himself in the bathroom and I was on the other side of the door talking with him. He knew I loved him, HE KNEW ALL OF YOU LOVED HIM. You all made him so happy, every time he was recognized from his videos, it made him giddy with joy.
His last recording was a song with Johnathan Mann, I don't know if Johnathan knows. He recorded it the night before.
I am surrounded by family and friends, and am taking this one moment at a time, remembering to breathe. I want to share with you what the Chaplain said to me, it was a momentary mistake, hold on to the good memories. I will post an update once a decision has been made about funeral arrangements.
If I need anything I will let you know, just hold on to each other and love each other, and thank you all so much for loving him so much."
I have never known Justin personally, nor have I talked to him via Twitter or otherwise. But I will say this: it is heartbreaking to hear such news and with a heavy heart I would like to say farewell to a fellow gamer, Pokemon fanatic, anime watcher, and reviewer.
Rest in Peace, Justin Carmical, with love from your family, friends, and fans.
