Wow. Very very sad news :(
I didn't have too much interaction with him myself but I adored him for the stuff he did.
To all those closer to him, hindsight is always 20/20, do not beat yourselves up over anything. No one would want that for their close ones! :,)

I refuse to believe this :-/
But knowing Canis, he would never joke around with this so my only hope is that the cousin is not really the cousin but a troll.
But if it is indeed true, then thank you, Canis, for letting us know and rest in peace, Icaio, and a lot of strength to the members of his family :(

I recognize his profile picture. Haven't met nor talked to him, but it's unhappy to witness someone's death. It would be the best if the news was a lie and we can hear him back, but if not, may him rest in peace.

Although I trust your evaluation on it, canis, I still hope it's not true.
If it is, SG would have lost one of its kindest and friendliest pillars. I would just hope that icaio was as positive in RL as he was here, enjoyed life to the fullest and that his soul would find peace easily.

Hardly got to know the person, i did see a comment or GA here and there from time to time...
If he is considered a legend of a person by the community, then as a legend he shall be remembered.
Here are the top 3 wishlisted games based on popularity from his profile. Changed factorio dlc with base game, there is no dlc option on the list yet and i think it is a fair trade to GA the base game instead, since it is also his most played game on steam, so someone new could give it a try and enjoy what he also enjoyed.

Just added them, lacking formatting but at least i linked in sequence after the last cart i spotted.
If OP could still place the first GA on main post, since it is a short one compared to others, it would be nice, but no big deal if it doesn't make it there.

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.
EDIT: as it turns out, I do have some more information
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.
