Schnitz Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 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 Tackle and UK-Recce 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concretesnail Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 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. Tackle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr0-Magnon Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 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. Tackle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Tackle Posted January 23 Moderators Share Posted January 23 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. 😢 Enid_Puceflange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Allen Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 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.

Cr0-Magnon Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Obviously it's way too young for someone to go, but does anyone know how old he is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galvatron Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 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.

Dan Robinson Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novioman Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 This is so sad, watched his video’s often, even messaged him a few times, always helpful, always pleasant, he will be missed by us GBB fans. Not forgotten though. I wish him peace and love, and hope he proves that 3 month diagnosis wrong.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanBow Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 How do you know its a scammer? If it is then he needs the shit kicking out of him but if its genuine, and we tar and feather it, we could be doing him out of some much needed funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Robinson Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ollie-with-stage-4-cancer This is the actual Go Fund Me page. To me the silly low target amount and the blurb being written in the third person, despite the Fundraiser supposedly being Ollie himself raises many suspicions. Am I happy to report it to the website? I don't know the poor guy well enough to say this is someone else. DanBow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rj1986 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) Someone on the HRC discord who knows Ollie (i believe) has said its a fake. Also the fact the "Organizer" can't even spell his name correctly is a red flag Edited January 30 by rj1986 DanBow and Galvatron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heroshark Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I'm on the Airsoft trade board, was posted there. Pretty sure the poster would have made sure before putting the notice out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
