News of Schnur’s passing has been met with support and love from fans of Neebs Gaming and Schnur, with some sharing their past experiences with him:
I met Tony at my first Gamescom back when I was supporting BF1, and though I was so scared to be in the presence of all these OG FPS personas, he introduced himself and the Neebs team with so much kindness and warmth. Sending peace to his family and this whole community.
