I remeber opening this obituary in pure disbelief back in January 2025, if I knew I could've left a memory I would've but now I know,  I just wanted to say that's Boxcatz67 was my firdt online friend I ever knew, he was a great and funny guy and I miss him everytime I play any game because I knew in some world, he could've been on the other side talking with me and having fun like we used too, I'm gonna miss you man, me (ScazeFloyd), Fyreblood, and Kayden miss you everyday bro, I hope you get a warm embrace from the heavenly father above as I write this with tears down my face, miss you bro.

William, you taught me in passing that deeds, both good and bad, will circle back to me. You may not have known, but I was always fond of you. It's only a shame I allowed myself to fold under the pressure of others. It's been almost a year since you've left us. I can only wish I was a better man in the past, I pray that you can see me trying to grow into someone you could admire. I know I've no right to say it, but I love you William, rest well.

I would stay up for hours during summer playing war thunder with Thomas, but as I knew him box. He was a great friend and one of the best people I’ve met. I saw him as a brother. I’ll never be able to forget the memories I had with him.

I remember those late nights with me eating ribs while we were playing roblox. I’ll always miss you box.

I only ever knew you as box catz 67, and I can't believe I'm just only now finding out about this. You were the one who got me into my favorite game, war thunder. We had so many good memories on that game, I just wish we could've gotten to play one last time. If anyone related to william sees this, please contact me at the email below, j would love to speak to you and talk about your wonderful friend/relative

One day we met through an online lobby on xbox. I’m glad we did. The amazing memories and experiences we had were unforgetable. I also met awesome people through you. I hope you’re resting well.

Hey man I really am gonna miss you, you brought me together as a whole peice again and I thank you for that, and everything else that you have done for me and my other friends, you may have been an online friend but you felt more than just an online friend to me I thank you for everything may you rest in God's arms and may you find peace.

I didn’t know him too well, though from the time I’ve talked to him, he was funny and amazing to talk to. I think I’ll miss him quite a bit from some of the fun times. I hope he’ll be in a much happier place.

I don't even know what to say. You brought me some of the best moments ever on Xbox, you introduced to some of the silliest and most awesome people I've ever talked to, you've made my life better as a whole. I knew you just a year ago because you wanted to play Garden Warfare 2 with somebody. You were one of the funniest people I've ever met. With the bottom of my heart, you're the best.

I really enjoyed playing video games with you, Even though we may have met online you felt like a true friend. It’s so tragic that your life was taken at such a young age. Thank you for all the laughs and good times. BowZe

Robin and Sam we love you and sweet Thomas. He is a young and gentle soul, so kind and caring. We pray God wraps his arms around you and all who love Thomas. We are praying for peace and comfort to fill your heart and home. We don’t know why Thomas is resting in the arms of God Almighty,  but so thankful God is flooding Thomas with happiness, peace and joy. I will forever remember him getting off the bus, going down the sidewalk in front of our house, headed home  with a skip in his step (probably thinking…schools out…time for video games). He is a jewel and we are thankful for the three of you. Love and prayers forever. 💜🤍💜

I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss! Praying for your strength and comfort during this time!

I remember meeting Thomas at Abby & Wills wedding, he was such a polite & respectful young man.  My heart hurts for your loss and I cannot imagine your pain & grief.  We will continue to lift you in prayer, praying for the LORDS comfort & peace, and that HE guide you through your loss.

My time with Thomas will always and forever be a highlight of my life. Please know that I know his old buddy Charlie was waiting for him, tail wagging, from across the rainbow bridge. I'm happy that they're reunited once again and having the time of their lives. All my love to the family.
