She added, “Thank you to everyone who has reached out. I wish he could see how much he is loved and all of the sweet things people have said to honor his memory. Remember, your words/tweets affect people, even the famous people. Please be kind.” According to fellow streamer NymN, Byron’s roommate also confirmed his passing, along with Byron’s older brother Gary Bernstein.
