RIP, icaio. I've not been on SG long enough to have known who he was before this memorial post, but I can tell from what others have said of him that he was a great guy. You can tell he was a generous soul from his SG stats alone; 33,582 gifts sent, which is more than the GAs he entered!

Wow. Horrible news. He will be missed. I always enjoyed every interaction with him. It will be hard to imagine this website without him. He was one of the most beloved of the folks here, and always cheerful.
Does anyone know what happened?

I'm really hoping that this turns out to be bullshit and the person who contacted you was just being a troll.
In the event that he has passed away I wanted to give my condolences to his family. RIP buddy :(

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
ANOTHER EDIT, just a quick update
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.
