Player Jarod Nandin – known to fans as “South Park Guy” for recreating the show’s infamous World of Warcraft character – died after contracting the coronavirus.
Nandin died on Sunday … according to the WoW outlet, Wowhead. Jarod revealed his condition in mid-December, and on December 22, he shared a photo of himself at the hospital saying the test was positive, but he didn’t seem too concerned.
He wrote … “I’m sorry to worry you. I’m in the hospital getting treatment. Things look good. I’m just looking at Covid with a shitty smile on his face and saying,” How are you going to kill what … no has life? “
Nandin, made famous by NWBZPWNR in the RPG community, used his sense of humor to make a big impact at BlizzCon 2013.
Jarod arrived at the event cosplaying as the ‘Warcraft’ gamer in the 10th season episode of “South Park” entitled “Make Love, Not Warcraft”.
He even shaved his head to recreate the guy’s baldness and clearly … he nailed the look.
After that … Jarod became fondly known as “South Park Guy” in the gaming community, and today many are tweeting his condolences and tributes to him.
Jarod was 40 years old.
REST IN PEACE
