Ollie Talks Airsoft

This made me tear up last night ?! I've been a viewer of his channel for years and it's clear to see how passionate Ollie is and how much of a kind easy guy he is. Truly devastating for him and his family

 
Shit news, and having seen what it can do to family members up close i hope he and his family embrace what time he has to the fullest. 

 
Ahh that is terrible news indeed. As someone who doesn't use GBBR's, I wasn't interested in everything he did but still appreciated that unlike most airsoft Youtubers, he offered detailed analysis and didn't shill for free stuff.

I haven't watched the video (I can't atm) but if it is terminal, I wish him as pain-free a journey as possible.

 
Gutted for the guy & his family, as someone that's on their own cancer journey, his age feels like the biggest kick in the nuts, he should have at least another 40 years in him, life is so unfair. 

As has been said, I wish him a pain free journey & pray that he gets as much quality time with his family as possible. ?

 
I really hope that he gets help and support from his family, friends and our community.

Getting that news must have been awful; I can only wish him well and hope that what is coming is as painless and dignified as possible.

 
Obviously it's way too young for someone to go, but does anyone know how old he is?

 
3 months. Jeez, that's just brutal. Poor fellow barely has time to plan for what looks like the inevitable, never mind try to live his life to the fullest with his friends and family. Life is too cruel sometimes.

I'd been looking at GBBR so his videos were enormously helpful, especially with his cheery demeanour and his willingness to impart so much knowledge. He certainly influenced some of my gas pistol purchasing decisions.

I wish the best for Ollie, his friends and family and hope they can make the most out of such an awful situation.

 
Don't know channel, but my sympathies.   If he's been given three months, that could still mean anything.  My friend recently lost her mum to a particularly nasty form of cancer, nearly 12 months after her original prognosis.

 
Just watched this and shed a tear. Bloody heart breaking.

That is some truly bastardly, scummy behaviour. Ollie comes across as the nicest and most down to earth airsofter and was willing to put himself out there in an incredibly vulnerable position yet some scrote is willing to exploit his illness. I need to get off the internet today.
