Tribute To Bpblu: "Leave The Memories Alone" (Please read the description.)

This video was not created by me, rather, it was made by a YouTuber by the screen name of IronFury. But I specifically have his permission to mirror this video. In his own words...
"If you guys want to mirror the video, I won't stop you. In fact, I encourage it. All I ask is that you link to Brian's profile as well as credit me for making the video."
Thus, here we have it. I do this with the intent of honoring bpblu's memory, encouraging people to find and enjoy his work (even if posthumously), and...to perhaps put to rest (some of) my own sadness arising from this tragic event.


Original description from IronFury's video:

"This was a video I did not want to make. I found out today that a person I was a fan of, and whom I considered a friend died almost a month ago. His name was Brian, but youtube knew him simply as Bpblu.

August 11th, 2009 was a dark day for the gaming community on youtube, as we lost Bpblu who tragically passed away.

His obituary:

"HARRINGTON - Brian Christopher Poore, of Harrington, died Aug. 11, 2009. He was 21. He was born in Milford to R. Douglas and Lisa W. Poore of Harrington. Brian was a University of Delaware senior, finishing up his last few classes to obtain a bachelor of science degree in elementary education. Brian enjoyed and excelled in school which started in kindergarten. He was serious and passionate with his school work, but at the same time enjoyed being the class clown and making everyone laugh. His love of little children drove him into his career choice of elementary education. In his spare time, Brian enjoyed interacting on the computer, video games, talking with friends, and music. His love of music extended from Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, to Elton John. He will be remembered as a simple and gentle person who never said an unkind word to anybody. He cared about the feelings of others and never made fun of anyone. Everything he did in life, he did with passion and purpose. He was an intense person, if he loved you, he loved you with his whole heart. He looked forward to spending time with his extended family on college breaks. He will be deeply missed by all those whose lives that he had touched. Brian was a member of the St. Stephen's Episcopal Church of Harrington. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Ralph Poore. In addition to his parents, he is survived by a sister, Vickie Poore of Harrington; paternal grandmother, Viva Poore of Harrington; maternal grandparents, Nelson and Nancy Wyatt of Magnolia; and several aunts, uncles, and cousins. Services will be 1:30 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 16, 2009, at Melvin Funeral Home, 15522 S. DuPont Hwy., Harrington, where a visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 15. Interment will be in Hollywood Cemetery, Harrington."


Leave the memories alone...goodbye my friend.



Note: Any and all stupid comments will be deleted without question. Now is just not the time guys."


In the name of Brian Poore's memory...I will indeed aim for the good ending in life... Because you can never possibly know exactly when it'll be over.

Holy... I'm sorry, but I can't make a sarcastic comment/joke, not this time. Like the Nostalgia Critic said, "Any death is tragic, and this is no exception." I just visited his channel and found out his final video was pt. 12 of Shining Force (one of the greatest RPGs ever made).

It sucks that he will never finish his LP of that game. Bpblu, I don't really know you, but I know there are many people who watch and love your videos out there. Hope the afterlife treats you well bro. R.I.P.

I still remember how hard it was, the first couple months. I didn't even know him as well as other people, but it still hit me pretty hard. I'd been watching his stuff for a while. He was a good guy, a funny guy. It took me a pretty long while before I could watch his videos again... I still want him to be able to make me (and everyone else) laugh even after he's... It doesn't even feel like it was 9 months ago. It feels like it was only a little while ago... Aiya...

I'm choking up now. IronFury I know Bohepans already put it in the description but I'd always like to be sure. Do I have the honor and privilege of mirroring this video?

[BohepansTheThird]

He said anyone could if they wanted to, no problem, long as he gets credit for making the video, and there's a link in the description to bpblu's channel. So by all means, go for it.

[ExelicaTriggerheart]

Suicide is never the answer - It is merely an escape. I really wish there was something I could of done to prevent such a thing from happening...

I hope he will be happy now though...

[BohepansTheThird]

You need not tell me that - it's something I know from experience just a bit too...anyway, I know it well.

But I can't condemn him regardless. I think too highly of him. Rather, I prefer to wonder what could have happened to have left him at that point... to think what I could have done, what many of us would have done had we known...

It's a road I wish no one would ever travel...one I'll never go near again...

[Kaweebo]

I like the fact it says he never said an unkind word to anybody. Which, may be the case, but in one of his vids he said that he can just insult video game characters, because their feelings aren't hurt. So...wait now I lost my point.

OK.I can do it with courage and honor.R.I.P Bpblu

[BohepansTheThird]

I do believe it's "Leave The Memories Alone" by Fuel.

[temporalkitsune]

Come to think of it, if it wasn't for Bpblu I wouldn't have thought of challenges for him to complete, nor would have done his challenges. I owe a deal to him, And I wish... I could thank him again for giving me some inspiration in challenges or just gameplay itself.

*turns her back, her long, dark brown curls flowing with the wind* I... never really knew him that well. I only ever watched a few of his videos... and they were challenge runs, if I remember correctly. But still... *closes her eyes* I pray that he rests in peace. And I shall try to forget that this ever happened. It may be easy, it may not. *opens her eyes and walks away, silent as can be* (thinking to herself) Only time will tell...
