For the second time in a week, the internet has mourned the loss of a beloved cultural icon. Donovan "Cripp Daddy" Castillo, a disabled comedian who would often make fun of his plight online and in person at comedy shows, was confirmed to have passed away the night of Saturday, August 19th.

Cripp Daddy is better known for always being receptive to fans and haters online, replying often on social media when people would reach out to him, and never shying away from his condition, instead using it as a source of comedy that resulted in him garnering a sizable fanbase over the years.

Friends and acquaintances of his online were quick to show their love and support for Cripp Daddy, with his longtime friend and sometimes rival Ricky Berwick saying that Donovan's death hit hard.

Others were quick to post that a GoFundMe was created to help Donovan's family with covering the costs of the funeral, which had a goal of $8,000 dollars and was quickly met with it raising over $19,505 in under 20 hours from just 400 donations total as fellow content creators like JonTron, Justin Whang and Pyrocynical donating and helping to spread the word.
