RIP.

So many people lost lately. Crazy times.

[ilikestuff]

Agreed, I always feel like if a person doesn’t make it to seventy they passed too soon. This gentleman will live on though his work, that’s the great thing about creating, you leave a peace of you in it forever. I feel like everyone should make/create/paint/whatever something to leave some of themselves behind for their loved ones. I’m rambling... rip

[MinnesotaFatts]

Meanwhile the Queen will outlive all of us.

[MinnesotaFatts]

It doesn't help that we're in the midst of a pandemic.

[Old McGroin]

Yup. The original voice actor for Leon in Resident Evil 2 only just passed away too :(

[ssj27]

Well i curse God jesus like billion times on day's gone . And i am sure he knew what he was doing. He had it coming

[Black-Helghast]

@Ssj27 wtf, he had a heart attack "coming"?

[Blu3_Berry]

Damn that's a shame. I really liked his voice in Days Gone. Now they're gonna have to find a replacement if they ever do Days Gone 2 with Deacon in it.

[NecrumOddBoy]

This was only the Portuguese version? I'll have to YouTube him.

[Blu3_Berry]

Ah I didn't realize that, I thought it was the english version of Deacon. Still though, it's sad he passed away.

[ballisticvoodoo]

English voice actor is Sam Witwer

[SIdepocket]

As is the character model.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

What the hell is going on? That's 3 or so in less than a week. Condolences to all those effected.

[cell989]

What’s going on with voice actors passing away!! That’s creepy

[KratosKonundrum]

A lot of them are smokers. Covid affects smokers worse. Myocarditis is one of the conditions Covid exacerbates in the under 70 demographic.

[Highlife]

That's true but not related to his death.

[Ausbo]

Heart attack at 46? Too soon. Prayers for his family.

[AnubisG]

Can happen at any age without warning unfortunetely.

[remixx116]

Yeah crazy honestly

[LOGICWINS]

Live with as little regrets as possible guys. You never know when your last day will be.

[Knushwood Butt]

Fuuuuu

I literally started my third playthrough of Days Gone last night.

Too young.

Rest in peace.

[ziggurcat]

Woah, there have been a lot of unfortunate, sudden deaths this past week :(

[InUrFoxHole]

Depending on what kind of person he was that can suck. Life is a crazy ride.

[AnotherGamer]

Damn, that sucks <:c. RIP

[VileBrute]

These are harsh times... Rip , very sad.

[snoopgg]

What's with all these voice actors dying recently? Wow!

[Tross]

Indeed, and I think only one was COVID related, so it seems to mostly be a horrible coincidence.

[Phantom68]

Really sad about this. I loved the game and, contrary to what many people thought, I loved the character.

[Exvalos]

Wtf we lost 3 voice actors in 1 day.

[ufo8mycat]

Wow :(
I know it can happen to anyone, but a heart attack at that age..so sad.

[S2Killinit]

Thats 3 voice actors in 2 days... /:
I really liked Deacon Saint John’s voice ... A real loss for the industry. Hope he gets a mention in Days Gone 2.

[taurul]

The actor that died is the Portuguese actor not the English one Sam Witwer! Anyway rip.

[S2Killinit]

I see.

[CanadianTurtle]

What the actual fuck, everyone's dying all at once. Rest in peace though.
His legacy will live on forever as long as this game exists. I own the game but haven't gotten around to play it yet. I will do so in his honor .

[taurul]

You should really play it man! I didn't had high hopes for this game with all it's bad-ish reviews but after I finished it it was my GOTY and one of my all time favorites. I platinumed it also and I never platinumed such a long game until then but it kept me back every time! So play it and let it suck you into it's world! You won't regret it!

L.E. Filip Duarte is the Portuguese voiceover. The original english one is actor Sam Witwer.
Anyhow, rip.

[S2Killinit]

Same here. Didnt platinum it but it was one of the rare games that i wanted to continue to play after i had finished it.

[paulust2002]

Oh man, so many actors have passed away this week it's strange. RIP

[paulust2002]

Think we should all play through in Portuguese if that's an option :)

[Dwarrior]

What's with all the death articles, N4G?

[S2Killinit]

People are dying.

[Dwarrior]

So do they actually address you as Captain, or do they just call you Obvious?

[S2Killinit]

Just captain.

[taurul]

Oh no man, I can't believe this! RIP! Ahh, it's shocking for me as his character and voice are among my all time favorites and I truly enjoyed the game... :(
And with all those actors passing recently, and virus and so on... damn 2020 is a fuc*ed up year... :(

[taurul]

le it's not the original English voiceover but still, rip.

[windblowsagain]

Young age for Heart Attack. R.I.P.

[AmUnRa]

RIP Thats young, i never played Days gone in his Portugeese voice, but i will play a few chapters with his voice...., 46 is waaaaaaay to soon.

[PS4Gamer1984]

Wow, what are the odds that three video game voice actors all die in the same week, on top of that, what are the odds that none of them died from covid 19 during the height of a pandemic. It has to be something insane like a 1 in 10 billion odds or something

[Acecalibur]

Voice actor after voice actor. What in the hell?

[StormLegend]

RIP. ❤❤

[XxINFERNUSxX]

Heart attack, but he looked healthy :( Very sad...

[Rambokind]

WTH! Another one? He was quite young, be at peace sir.

[moriarty1889]

RIP and condolences to his family. Sad to see this. 46 is way to young.

[ghostrider32]

This is the worst year ever. R.I.P. Filipe.

[Dark-soul]

I just finished that amazing game and was hoping for a sequel, of course it might still happen, but sad news

[Knightofelemia]

Damn another voice actor bit the dust sorry to see that Days Gone is a really great game

[Neonridr]

what's going on in the world of voice actors lately?? Geez.. RIP my good man.

[blanka4545]

omg r.i.p so young so sad! Not because of covid though that is good but still!

[Firebird360]

Sorry to hear. The game overall is underrated imo.

[THEDON82z1]

That sucks, I wish his family all the condolences in the world. Crazy Times in 2020!
