If you’ve never heard of Steve Cash, he’s the man who created the popular Talking Kitty series on YouTube that mainly stars his cat Sylvester. It was one of the few series I would routinely binge-watch on YouTube on a frequent basis.
Here’s one of my favorite videos from the series. (NSFW Language)
In the past, Steve would occasionally mention that he had bipolar disorder. As somewhat of a content creator myself who also has bipolar disorder I could understand why Steve would sometimes go for long stretches of time without updating his channel or conversely he would upload several videos in a short amount of time. I didn’t know Steve personally, I was just a fan. His videos would often cheer me up when I was having a particularly bad depressive episode.
Over the weekend I received news that tragically, Steve Cash had taken his own life. He was 40-years-old. I was devastated when I read the news. My prayers and condolences go out to his family, friends, and all of his furbabies.
My greatest fear as a creator is that I won’t be remembered after I’m gone. I just want to let it be known that at least to me, Steve Cash will always be remembered.
