On December 18th, 2024, internet communities everywhere were saddened to learn of the tragic passing of Robert Lewis, known around the sonic, gaming, and internet animation scene as BlackDevilX.
Rob was on vacation in Aruba with his favorite people in the whole world, his family, when he suffered a heart attack that took his life.
Rob leaves behind his loving wife, two sons, three siblings, loving Mother and Step Father, a community of followers who loved his art, and an incredible legacy.
Funeral services are yet to be planned as the family prepares to return home from Aruba. If you wish to help donate to fund services for BDX as well as support his family during this painful season, you are welcome to do so here. We welcome your donations, prayers, condolences, and well wishes.
Appreciate all he's done for his family, friends, and fans. May he rest in peace.
God bless the family and friends.
I wish I could give more right now but I'm dealing with unemployment issues. I never met Robert but his work blessed my life. I'm grateful for the talents he shared and hoping the campaign goals will be reached. God bless you.
Though we've never met, his work has felt impact on me. The family has my blessing. We must all make our peace.
❤️

Hope this helps.
i played the FFSX series over and over as a kid. It helped me become who I am today.
To Black devil X and his family and I'm sorry we lost him. But thank you dude. I played Sonic Final fantasy X back when I was 10 in fifth grade and now I'll be 26 in 2 more months. The least I can do is help your family.
I remember talking to BDX over AIM over a decade ago. Dude was always humble and a pleasure to be around. We'll miss you.

Hey Everyone, Chris (Cdrom1019) here.
Holy WOW. I'd like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone that donated and helped us reach the 12K goal for this give send go. A brief comment from Rob's mother is warranted. She shares, "Our family is completely overwhelmed and touched by the love and support from you all. From the bottom of our heart, Thank You! If we could give this in exchange for him to be here and let him know how much he was loved we would do it in a minute."
Your generosity has covered the cost of one of the funeral services in full.
Today as I write this, we said goodbye to Rob as we held his second and final memorial service. We're all grieving his loss, but thankful for those that remembered him and his work fondly.
I have extended the goal of this give send go to continue to open for the community's generosity if they wish to help cover the cost of the second funeral service. As some of you may or may not know. Rob had a service last week for his family in Long island, and the second one was held in Central New York for those that could not travel or were local to CNY. If you wish to continue to spread this around and raise money for the family to cover these costs, please know we appreciate you.
Much love,
~Chris - cdrom1019
