You saw the best in all of us and revealed it. You treated me like family and called me your little brother. You motivated and inspired us. Our bond and friendship in these last years is something that I will keep forever. I love you @bradvenable miss you, brother pic.twitter.com/URPRVRgPro

With his wife’s permission, I’m posting this video for you @bradvenable. As soon as I can organize my thoughts tomorrow, I will record them when it’s not a goddamn mess. You are going to tell me to let it all go, but man, if I let it, I would be crying forever. My brother. I love you very much. pic.twitter.com/S8x7fEjiTD

Very sad to have lost one of the best and most generous talents in the storytelling business. @bradvenable he was a loving man and would help you with anything you needed. Ridiculously talented and a real treasure. RIP Brad. I will miss our conversations. #voiceovers #voiceover

If you didn’t know @bradvenable, you were losing. He was kind to every person he met. I don’t think he gave himself the credit he deserved, but he was always there to support his colleagues, no matter what stage they were in their career.

Among many other parts, Venable played the familiar Griffon de V in Devil May Cry 5, as well as playing roles in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Wars, the recent remake of Demon’s Souls and Final Fantasy 7 Remake. He also played Daz in the English dub on Attack on Titan, and played roles in My Hero Academia, Hunter x Hunter and Dragon Ball Super.
