Update: A crowdfunding campaign has launched to support Rob's family.
We almost made it through 2024 without losing anyone (that we were notified of), only to lose Squize a few weeks ago and now today we have more bad news, with the passing of @BlackDevilX.
Rob Lewis, aka BlackDevilX was best known around here for the Final Fantasy Sonic X and Super Smash Allstars series.
He was also a father, radio show host and loved connecting with fans.
His history on NG spans 15 years and his last Tweet was a playful throwback to the FF Sonic X series:
Rob passed of a heart attack while on vacation with his family in Aruba, as reported by his sister and relayed to me by @JRetrioX, a huge BDX fan.
Rob will be missed and has been added to the In Memoriam page.
A message from Final Fantasy Sonic X voice actor, Stephen Lynch:
