Yesterday he passed away.” As fans would know, his father was a vital part of his success and had even made appearances on his streams before. 

He added, “He always supported me, got me into gaming, and helped shape my love for games, specifically FPS. Rest in peace, papa shroud <3”. Fans may remember him from a stream he appeared on almost 7 years ago, where Shroud asked his father if he wanted to share anything with Polish fans watching.

A user online who goes by ‘Just9n’ had replied to Shroud’s tweet, claiming he knew his father. He shared how he enjoyed his time with him and was a big fan of the guy.
