Hey all. I am going to start by saying that I do not have any more information than what I am sharing in this post.

As some of you know, icaio has not been on SG for a while, and he hasn't logged into his Steam profile either.

I posted on his Steam profile a few weeks ago, just a quick note saying I hoped he was okay.

Yesterday I received a friend request on Steam from someone I did not recognize. I didn't see any obvious red flags, so I accepted.

This new friend sent me a message today, saying that they were icaio's cousin, and they saw my post on his profile and wanted to let me know that icaio passed away on September 30.

I don't think it's a stretch to say that icaio was an absolute legend of Steamgifts. His generosity, sense of humor and thoughtfulness came through in every 'showerthinking' post and every 'trash' game giveaway and every time he helped to solve a derailment in the community train.

Before I visited Rome a few years ago, caio volunteered to give me his mobile number so I could ask him real-time questions while I was in Italy. And that's exactly what I did! So we didn't quite get a chance to actually meet in person, but it was fun to chat with him while we were in the same country.

Not much more to say right now. Just R.I.P. to icaio, he will always be a Steamgifts legend.

Oh no. I was only thinking of him the other day, wondering where his posts were. 😔
He was an asset to the SG community and I'm sure he will be sorely missed.

I'm shocked. I might have not had a lot of contact with him ,but when I had, he had been always nice.
Rest in peace.

Damn it. I was just hoping it was some situation that kept him away from the computer or something. Also thinking of sending him a beep on chat or something.
But this is worse than anything. Icaio is gone, he'll be missed. I know because I'll miss him.
I'll not remove him from my whitelist of friend list so I can, from time to time, see his name and remember him again.

Oh, I knew he was absent for some time but didn't want to expect the worst :(
He seemed like a good person from the little interaction I had with him, rest in peace 🫂

Oh no, I had wondered where his usual posts where during the last few weeks but I assumed he was just taking some time off SG, I never thought he could have actually died.
It's really sad to hear these news, he was always so friendly and willing to have a conversation with anyone who engaged him here, I'm certainly going to miss him.

I often try not to think about this subject but the fact that when people online go missing for a while there's a real possibility of them having passed it's such a disturbing thing, it's like if a friend just suddenly went silent and stopped breathing.

I never figured out what was troubling him when I spoke with him, but he was that sort of soul it was hard not to like.
I pray he rests in peace, e we shall surely miss him.

Uff, such news always hurt. I'll remember him for his sometimes challenging positivity, which isn't how I myself tick but I can respect the idea and purpose behind it.

Oh no. I did wonder where he had been lately. I also knew he was somewhat troubled but I didn't think anything like this would come about. He will be missed.
