A while back when Shalit started streaming I happened across his channel one evening. He was a funny and charismatic guy and ever since I would check in on his stream every now and then. I'm not big into gaming etc. but the things he produced were always worthwhile because he was a genuinely funny and cool guy to interact with. Never heard a bad word said about him.
For such a young and promising guy to be taken from us is, as they say, heartbreaking. He had a future ahead of him that was full of love and positivity. I can't imagine the pain his loved ones feel, but his memory makes me feel happy and optimistic because he was such a good example to so many young men and I know he's looking down on me as I write this.
I hope his family and friends know how well-liked he was and how he inspired so many with his potential.
Shalit I didn't know you well, but you were a solid dude and I'll bump into you again some day. You'll be missed. God bless 🙏🏻✝️
There were so many young men who watched Shalit and he was a rare good influence on all of us. In this world there is no shortage of things to worry and anger you when you know what is right. Shalit benefited so many of us by reminding us to put our trust in God, and to use our frustrations to motivate us. Shalit had so much patience for our shenanigans, and he made it worth the effort to wake up on time. I'll always love you Shalit, and I thank your family for taking such good care of you. May God have mercy on us that we may see you again fren.
Shalit- thank you for all the laughs and good times man. Your streams were always hilarious, your chat was the most fun and welcoming I'd ever seen. I'll always be a #paypig. You will be greatly missed, and always remembered fondly. Enjoy heaven, big guy. We'll hold things down in clown world.
Really gonna miss you big guy. You were a light in all of our lives. I'm really gonna miss trying to find loopholes to #Auburn post in your chat. RIP Shally Wally.
You were the brother I never had J, I wish I could've told you more how much your friendship meant to me. You were such an amazing person that made thousands of people smile. We will never ever forget you. I love you so much.
Through the time we were fortunate enough to spend with Shalit, we all found something that brought deep joy to our hearts. Through the moments of his life he shared with us, we were blessed to see his charming personality as a beaming light that would help us brighten up no matter how dark everything else seemed, his work ethic that inspired us to pursue what matters and stay focused on the good, and his beautiful example of love for his friends in the way he interacted with us. In the act of giving us these great gifts, he gave us even more by creating a place of respite that fostered a community we'll always have, where we shared hours of good times almost every day that made memories we'll never forget, all with a great friend who left a mark on our lives we'll bear forever. Even though we will always miss him, we will always bear that mark of him with us, and hope that guides us to see him again one day. And as we pray for each other's peace, may we find some peace in knowing Shalit has complete and eternal peace with Christ. Love you so much, Shalit. Thank you for helping us realize how much we should all love each other. Can't wait to start the day with you again.
Gone way too soon I discovered him during the TickTock wars . A genuine and sincere man with great life advice and great humor I always clicked on his stream when it would pop up he never got as many views as some of the other people in the movement but his content and insights or just as good and sharp as all the others rest in peace king I cried a little on my way to work. I chickened out of doing his Call in show but I did frequently chat him and he always responded, what a great guy who loved his people. Groyper! Groyper! Groyper!
I've never cried so hard over losing someone who I've never met, in person. As someone who has lost a brother before and is actually months older than Shalit, it still feels like my big brother is gone. I'm so thankful that I had the chance to connect with a person like him, and know he'd be proud of how everyone is handling and taking care with his passing.
Even while crying, I couldn't help but laugh, as well. That's the sort of magic he had, and I'm proud of him for that. I related a lot to Shalit, and seeing him share his God-given gifts with the world via streaming has been inspiring and an honor. I'm happily becoming Catholic and Jmac played no small part in my journey as a returner.
Shalit made a positive impact on me through streaming. He was really funny and positive, and interacted with people like me in the chat all the time. 2020 was such a weird year too, and I experienced almost all of the major events through watching his streams.
Recently I said something that one of his mods muted me for, but Shalit said "No don't mute [MelGibson], I like him" and that made my day because it's like Shalit made me laugh all the time and it was nice to know he had formed a connection like that even if I'm just some random guy online.
