  • So, so sorry Tom. Lovely tribute.

  • I am really sorry for what happened. I have just found out by chance. I really dont know why this happened to you or to anyone. I can not even imagine the pain. Lots of love from Fernando, Korea.

  • My mother once told me that when a newborn smiles during sleep or when awake, it's because they see and dream of playing with the Angels who've watched over them. Now Baby Jack is with them again and from heaven watches his family who's love touched his soul, so that he can now share that love with another soul waiting to be born.

    God's love to the family.

  • There aren't enough words.

    There aren't enough tears.

  • I lost my twin sons two years ago at 3 months premature. They came too early. My heart breaks for you. I know I will see them again someday and that gives me peace.  As a fellow brother in Christ, pray he gives you peace through this.

  • @lordzon I meant to say I will pray. I was crying after watching that and couldn't type.

  • im very sorry for your loss...

    God bless all your family.

  • So sorry for your loss Vasel Family. You are and will be in my prayers. Again, so sorry.

  • Ho man... No words... May you never know grief again!

  • So sorry for your loss. I look forward to the future glory where Jack and you all will be reunited with Christ. All the tears will be wiped away and the joy you have experienced for those fantastic two months will come into fullness for eternity. Praise God for such a miracle of life and may he comfort you in this time.

    My prayers are with you Vassel family.

  • I am very sorry for your loss.

    As a father myself I can not think of anything more heartbreaking than the loss of a child.

  • im sorry for your loss though i heard if you child dies before the age of 8 and you live righteously you get to raise them in heaven.

  • He's so precious. I'm at a loss for words. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.

  • Tom,

    My heart breaks with your family, but my spirit soars knowing Jack is in Heaven. You will be with him again - and what a reunion that will be!

  • Tom,

    My heart breaks with your family, but my spirit soars knowing Jack is in Heaven. You will be with him again - and what a reunion that will be!

  • The suffering of living without someone can break your heart to dust. Save up all the hugs and kisses, the debt has been pre-paid and he's in the best of hands. Thank you for the laughter and joy your family has so often given mine.

  • My thoughts are with you and your family :(

  • im sorry for your lose i literally cried when i watched this video no one should be taken from the world so quickly

  • God Bless Pastor Vasel,

    Your brother in Jesus Christ,

  • 19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 20But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

    55O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

    [1 Corinthians 19-22; 55]

  • I am very sorry for your loss. Take solace in the fact that you WILL see him again!

  • Tears...I can't imagine your grief, and your strength. My heart goes out to you and your family!

  • More than anyone I've known in the past ten years, you inspire me to be a better man, Tom.

  • I was hoping Jack would rise to become one more crew member behind your excelent show.

    My prayers are with you. May your family find strength for the days to come.

  • Very sorry for your loss Tom. I am praying for your family.

  • I am 27 years old male and I am openly weeping. In my prayers Tom and family.

  • @Trastasule Exactly the same for me and my wife. My wife kept saying "he was so happy about having a boy"

  • Very sorry for your loss.

  • You have my heart and tears, Tom. Jack was a true gift. Enjoy what you had with him. You will see him in the next world.

  • I am so sorry ;-(

  • I recently found your channel while looking for reviews on games, and I found so much more! It is a treat watching your reviews and interactions with your family. I was just telling my husband yesterday that when we have kids I hope to be as great a parent as you are! I am thankful that God shared Jack with you, even briefly. It is a great thing that the family is so close so that you can share your grief and lessen the burden. My heart aches for you. I will keep your family in my prayers.

  • My condolences to your family. Thank you for sharing so much with us. I hope that our words give you back the steel determination and the joy that is the Vasel experience.

  • Its cruel that God allows many wicked people to thrive and yet so many innocents like Jack die every day. It is unfair.

  • pastor vasel as ur math student i want to say that wen i heard that baby jack died i started crying

  • Sorry for your loss Tom and family. Our thoughts and best wishes are with you.

  • I can't pray for you, but I can give you and your family my thoughts and love. Life is just so unfair sometimes and I... I'm at loss for words. I just hope that you and your family will recover from this in the easiest fashion possible. I can relate through similar experiences and know a bit about what you're going through. Nothing is more painful than this..

    A million hugs and my sincere condolences!

  • Religeon plays no aspect in my life but grief does. Am so sorry for what your going through and i just hope you find any means you can to cope and live happily again. r.i.p Jack. xx

  • Tom you and your girls have done so many good things for so many people. It is no surprise that your beloved Jack takes after his family. I never heard you mention God or Jesus once in any of the reviews I have watched but your actions always speak of them. I have been keeping my eyes open for people who make a brave difference in this world. This is most brave and beautiful miracle I have seen in many days.

    I hope to be in touch with you soon.

    Your friend in faith,

  • My deepest and most sincere condolences on your loss. I honestly couldn't handle it were I in your place.

  • Aw hell.

    Tom, I am very sorry for you and your family. Clearly, Jack was just too good for this world. Small comfort I know, but there it is. That is all that I can say since words feel so inappropriate and inadequate during times like this.

    Take care mate. All your fans are behind you and your family.

  • Really wouldn't wish this upon anyone, especially since the E-Coli happened twice in such quick succesion. I only got the internet back today and the first thing I wanted to know was how he was. As long as you and everyone else remembers little Jack; he will never be forgotten. My prayers are with your family.

  • I am so sorry Tom!! I know their are no words that can bring peace except those of the Father...

    “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4

    From my family to your family we will be praying for each one of you.

  • I'm very sorry for your loss. I might only know you through the video reviews you do, but I still wish the best for you and your family moving forward from your loss.

  • The memorial service was beautiful and its awesome to know that baby jack is no longer suffering and that the Vasel family will no longer have to see their baby boy in pain. Much love from a sister in christ. -Jessica

  • Some losses confront us with such a yawning abyss of grief and pain that putting them into words approaches synesthesia; we may as well try to smell colors as to engage such sorrow with language. I hope the Vasels have plenty of good friends and family there, to hug them, cry with them and stand vigil against the darkness as they bear the unbearable.

  • Terrible news. I'm so sorry. (;_;)

  • Hi Tom, this is Carlos from Brazil, i don't really know you, i don't play board games. But i'm a online games addicted. I got here through a post on Gizmodo Brasil that was posted by a fan of yours.

    I just wanted to say i'm very sorry that this happened to such a good person like you. But i bet god had his important reasons to take little Jack away from you. My most sincere condolences to you and your family. God bless you and your wife Tom, specially in this hard time.

  • Hey Tom, i don't speak english very well, i'm Brazilian, but i'm really want to say I'm sorry for your loss. Really, I never met you, but you history touched me.

    Your son is with Jesus right now, In His arms.

    You're a good person, a Jesus follower and I'm sure you're a great father.

    God bless you, brother.

  • Tom & Laura,

    We're so very sorry to hear about little Jack. We prayed for him every day, and we will now be keeping you and the girls in our prayers. Wish we could be there with you. We're praying for you for God's strength and comfort in knowing he's in Jesus' loving arms. We'll all be seeing him one day soon! Love you!

    Pastor & Joy

  • you don't know me as more than someone who types baddly in your comments, but tom and family I am very sorry for your loss. I don't have a family and probably never will and can never truely know your pain. but im sorry, not a religious man but you and yours will be in my prayers tonight

  • What a handsome little guy. I'm glad that you got to be with him as long as you did. You are truly blessed to have such a wonderful and beautiful family.

    My family's prayers are with yours.

  • Jesus, however, called the children to himself and said, "Let the children come to me and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."

    Luke 18:16

    May he rest in peace for eternity in our Lord's arms.

  • Tom, so sorry about your son. Nice to see so many comments here. We feel part of your family, getting to watch you and your kids. God Bless you.

  • I'm so sorry. 

  • I'm sorry for your loss.

  • My sincerest condolences. My prayers are with you and your family. God Bless.

  • My deepest respects. Take Care and much strength for you and your family!

  • my sincere condolences

  • I'm really sorry to hear this, I even cried through most of the video. We, everyone with a heart, who have watched this video feel sorry for what happened and wish that there would be anything that could have been done, that we could have done. Tom, know this, if you ever feel the need to talk to anyone, there will be hundreds of people who are prepared to do what we can, to listen, both your loyal fans and your real world friends.

  • Life is a game, but kind of a merciless one...

    sincères condoléances.

  • Sorry to hear about this. I may not watch your show when I'm not with my Boyfriend, but I just wanted to say sorry for your loss, all my prayers are out to you

  • Sorry for your loss, Vasels.

  • Damn... I cried, Tom, I cried... I'm so so sorry, I wanted to see him with all of you. Damn... Be strong all of you and wish the best for him wherever he is.

    The best part of feeling this bad with this is that you realize how close you can feel with people so far away in communities like this (boardgames). It's just like one really big familly, so you can count, I'm pretty sure, we're all with you.

  • What a beautiful baby and a beautiful tribute to him! I'm so sorry you're going through this. Your comment about God sharing him with you this long touched me deeply. I believe you will all be with him again in Heaven someday.

  • Sorry for your loss.

  • My condolences, Tom. Remember the good times, carry them with you, and carry on...

    Scorpion

  • God bless, Tom. I'm so sorry for your loss.

  • My family's prayers are with you. May our Lord continue to shower His grace upon you all. I'm so sorry for your loss.

  • Oh I am soo sorry, for your loss. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

  • oh my gosh, i'm so sorry tom and the vasel family. you'll be in our prayers

  • What a touching video and memory. I do not know you personally or your religious beliefs but I know this. That through Christ, all little children are saved by his grace. What a special child this little one must be to him and your family.

    I only wish you the best in your sons loving memory.

  • My deepest condolences to you and your family.

  • I'm so sorry for your loss Tom.

  • May the God of all comfort continue to pour out His grace and mercy to you and your family during this time. My prayers go out to you and your family.

  • There are no words....

    Hoping that you can feel the prayers and love surrounding you and your family from all over the world.

  • Incredibly sorry for your loss. My sympathies and prayers are with you and your family.

  • What a truly terrible loss for your family, as well as the YouTube and BGG families. I feel as if I've lost a nephew. If it's any consolation, little Jack Vasel was loved by more people around the world in his two months than many people will ever be.

  • my sympathies Tom

  • I dont think anyone is saying they dislike the video, I have to believe no one would do that. They are just saying they don't like what happened to Jack. I have to believe this is a misinterpretation :)

  • Oh my Gosh! That is a beautiful video. That was such a hard day for me to keep it together as your nurse, but strange as it may seem I'm very happy to have been there for you and your family on this day. Your daughters are lovely and sweet. Some people are in our lives just for a brief moment in time and I'm glad you were all in mine even though it was short. I will always remember the Vasel family and baby Jack :)

  • I'm so sorry for your loss, Tom. May God's grace be upon you, Laura, and your family. I'll be praying for you all.

  • Oh, I'm crying with you and praying for you. Our baby was born early too. She survived, but, is disabled. Pray you can get through this. God bless you.

  • I am so sorry to hear about your loss. God's mercy, grace & peace to you and your family.

  • Praying for you and your family, brother. <3

  • Ah dammit, Tom. Dammit dammit dammit.

    Words are, of course, useless at a time like this. But someday, you might want to - or need to - read them. As someone who understands a similar loss: you may be tempted someday to wonder whether you're better off forgetting. Don't. Every moment is a gift. Everyone offers us something precious, no matter how briefly we know them.

  • Oh, how heartbreaking. :-( My condolences to the Vasel family. Safe trip, little Jack.

  • God bless you and your family, you are in my prayers.

  • So sorry to hear about this Tom. There aren't words to express my sadness for your family or to make you feel better.

  • Sorry for your loss...Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

  • God bless you, Vasel family. And God bless little Jack.

  • I am so sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you and your family.

  • So sorry to hear to hear this Tom, my thoughts are with you and your family

  • Best thoughts and condolences to you and your family.

  • Who would be cold hearted enough to dislike this video? Tom's newborn son just died. You trolls make me sick.

  • @rudyfortner2007 I think the "dislike" function is sometimes misunderstood. Perhaps they are expressing the fact that they "dislike" the fact that such a tragedy happened.

  • @rudyfortner2007 Probably because they DISLIKE the fact that Jack died. It is kind of weird to say you like it, although I can see where the confusion comes from.

    Again, sorry to hear about your loss Tom. Hopefully this experience will only make you and your family stronger in the long run.

  • @rudyfortner2007 - Perhaps some of them are expressing that they dislike that it happened? No idea, but it is a very sad event for sure. :(

  • @rudyfortner2007 Maybe they dislike it because they dislike that his first baby boy just died? I'm just saying.

  • @rudyfortner2007 I think maybe the "dislike" is for the fact that Jack has passed on. What is there to like about that? One could argue that the "likes" for the video could be horribly misinterpreted as well, but I really don't think anybody thumbing this video up or down has cruel intentions. Let's not start an argument, let's just wish Tom and his family the best.

  • @rudyfortner2007 could be a dislike for he situation as a whole.

  • @rudyfortner2007 agreed

    so sorry for your loss, Michael

  • So very sorry, I'm glad your faith helps you. My thoughts are with you and your family. So many people love your family, and us gamers appreciate what you do so much. Stay strong my friend. I know I wouldn't be able to cope if anything like this happened to me, but you always have such a great attitude. You deserve all the happiness in the world.
