Damn... i never knew this man, but its clear how much of an impact he had not only on you but the other members of the community. He sounds like he was an amazing person and soul. Im sorry fir the liss of his family and the community and the impact his loss has. Not knowing him, this is still bringing tears to my eyes and i anyway know ill have to break this up into segments. This is such a wonderful tribute.
I didn’t know him either, I don’t even own a console I found this site looking for realistic rollercoasters, and got hooked for a little over a year now. I’m a complete stranger just a fan of the channel, and thus had tears to my eyes too. Very sad 😢
Frontier wrote the memo for Planco, and Xaphor read and understood it. He knew exactly what to do with all the constructions pieces and special effects .
❤ Wowies. Hearing all of your stories about the relationship you had with Xaphor just makes me appreciate him even more for who he was. You did a super great job showcasing this park and making it an even better memorial. Revisiting all of these incredible blueprints and seeing the talent and creativity that the man put into his builds was amazing. I rarely subscribe to blueprints to check them out, but placing in Xaphors builds might have changed that. Even after pulling some of his builds apart, i still didn’t understand how he packed everything into a 4k blueprint, i‘d literally need at least double the piece count for the stuff he built. He knew how to work with the game; he knew the mechanics, pieces and tricks and you really realise that when you check his builds out yourself. Glad you could let some more emotions out. I think emotions are a very normal and natural thing, unfortunately on social media, real, raw emotions are sometimes blurred out, so i appreciate you not cutting all of that away in the vid. Much love. RIP Xaphor We will never forget him. ❤
Thank you batch, ryry , bear , jonny who showcase it and everyone else who contributed to it.💙💙💙 it was a great and amazing mini project. Gonna miss xaphor a lot too
I can't think of a better way to celebrate Xaphor's memory & impact he had on our community than by this spotlight. Thank you so much RyRy, Bear, & Batch and all the creators of this memorial park - it's beautiful. I can't imagine what making this video must've been like for you, Jonny - knowing Xaphor was your best friend. As hard as it was, thank you for this. I miss you Xaphor. Thank you for inspiring me, your feedback & guidance and all you did for our community. RIP. 💔
RIP Xaphor, a true honour to have known you and to have experienced all the amazing creativity you had and for all your help overs the years, miss ya buddy 💙
Wow.... I must admit I havent played planco in ages, but Xaphor was one of the reasons I started playing in the first place. He gave me tips through comments and chat on Discord. He will be greatly missed!
I never met Xaphor in anything, but even as a newer viewer of your content, I'm ugly crying right alongside you during Batch's reading of your Special Memorial written on his obituary. Goddang. Thank you Xaphor for helping Channel5 Gaming become the community it is now, and for being such an amazing person and friend to all who knew you, you absolute freaking legend. And thank you, Channel5 Gaming's community, for making this absolutely magnificent and wondrous park in memoriam for him. I feel like I know him a little bit after this, and that's something that you can't put a pricetag on is the memories you all have of him and have shared with your comments, writings on his obituary, and in creating this park. I know this video had to have been hell for you to make, Jonny, but thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing so, not only for those of us just joining your community, but for those who were here from the beginning, and most importantly, for Xaphor. I'm sure he's watching this video with a big ol' grin on his face from wherever he is.
Jonny I think i've seen every park spotlight you guys have ever done. There's no doubt in my mind this is the best looking park I've seen period. Xaphor really was the master! RIP we'll miss him always.
A huge thankyou to the masters in the community that put this together. I downloaded it and have been playing for the last two nights. I'm playing in guest view and am amazed at the perfection put into everything, including the sounds and ambience, as well I love how the guests keep on stopping to watch the various fireworks displays. It adds to the sombre, chilled-out mood in honor of Xaphor. Absolutely spectacular and amazing!
I met Xaphor in person back in February, 2020. Absolutely amazing guy, It's crazy how much knowledge he had on pretty much anything and everything he would often tell us the history of the parks we visited, that we didn't know prior to visiting, we had some great laughs and bitter sweet moments. Memories I'll cherish forever. I couldn't believe it when I heard the news. I'm happy to had the privledge of getting to know him. - RIP My friend Xaphor. Also, I want to give a massive thankyou to jonny for putting this video together, I can't imagine how hard this must of been for you and the community., I know he's watching over you all.
Xaphor was one of the creators I truly admired. But he also was a great person and did so much for the community. Behind the scenes, and right into the spotlights. Now there is this spotlight, a lasting digital memorial that perfectly showcases what a genius he was. He had this unique style. Xaphor really had a trademark, a distinctive way to design. Indeed a perfect park to celebrate his memory and many thanks to the people creating this memorial. We'll never forget him!
Love you Jonny. I hope you're doing well given the point in life you are at the moment. I'm thankful you share your grief and "negative" emotions with us as well. There is no shame in this, I'm proud of you. Cheers from Germany. Cheers to Xaphor.
Rip Xaphor... and Channel 5 gaming, I been following you since Planet Coaster first came out.. although we never met, but I felt like know you, and I just want to say my condolences to your mom, may her rest in heaven 🙏
Thank you for such an amazing tribute. (That was my tribute garden at the 15 min mark near the Professor Wurst Owlery) Xaphor inspired me from my very first day playing Planet Coaster. We love and miss you, I only wish I had joined the community sooner and gotten to know him better.
Just an incredible spotlight. Really great to see his amazing blueprints in such a beautiful setting - well done to everyone involved. This was a perfect tribute and a perfect 600th spotlight! Rest easy, Xaphor. Also Jonny I think this is only about half of his actual blueprints - there are several other incredible ones it would be great to see in your coaster POV series. Sending you all the good vibes for peace and healing, too Jonny - I'm sure this has been incredibly hard ♥
What an incredible tribute. Jonny, you have created another fantastic spotlight that really shows the amazing outpouring of community wide contributions and support for you and those left to carry the torch and continue to create beautiful and entertaining art.
This park is amazing, and I absolutely love it. Thank you to everyone who took the time to make this outstanding park. I can't imagine the time it took to do this, but thank you nonetheless. And thank you Jonny for doing this video, I know it must have been hard after losing a close friend. From someone who has lost close friends and a twin sister, I can say it's not easy at all. It's very painful to lose some you love, care about, and who is very close. But it will get easier, Jonny. Remember the good times you had with him, and treasure the memories you both had. I miss Xaphor as he was an amazing person and truly a great person in the Channel5 Community. Rest In Peace Xaphor. You will always be remembered. #RIPXaphor
R.I.P. Xaphor. I've always been a lurking, quiet member of the community -- but I've always admired the amazing creativity of those who give to the community and this park is a glowing tribute to one of the best creators PlanCo has ever seen. JonnyFiveAlive, thanks for putting this community together and letting the memories of Xaphor's creativity live on with such a marvelous tribute spotlight.
Oh man the memorial under the Kirby wheel got me..... Amazing job and it feel just right. Thank you for putting this together. Not involved with the community much as I am not a builder BUT I am a huge fan. I love visiting parks and riding the rides or being inspired by blueprints to design and decorate a park around them. So though you all don't know me I feel through your creations and videos to have known you. Xaphor was one of my first steam friends and I loved seeing these amazing creations all together here.
don't be embarrassed... i was crying harder than you and i don't know either one of you!!?!? i believe his spirit can look down/observe this and his spirit is warmed and touched by your public display of emotion, it would be abnormal not to, that is the proof one loves someone. (as well as everyone who put this project together for him in his honor) we love you too!!
This park and video are probably the best illustration of how wholesome and nice the Planet Coaster community truly is. I have never seen that in any other game. RIP Xaphor. I didn't know him much at all, but I still hope building nice stuff is a thing he will be able to continue up there in heaven.
Sorry for all the comments, kinda writing them as I watch. Never apologize or feel embarrassed about showing emotion. Not only does it project how you feel but also many of us as well. So as a viewer nobody can hear my sadness but listening to you it is like we are sharing the emotions together. your expressed thoughts and emotions are representing all of us. Thank you for being vulnerable
Its really something to be remembered as a pro like this, and the community build a park using your blueprints in your honor. Very nice. Rest in Peace Steven/Zaphor.
@@Channel5Gaming wishing you strength and guidence as well. its ok to cry because it reminds us of how important somebody is to us. wanted to say that to you. loving the content . keep on...
May your soul start a new life in hevan Xaphor 🙏, i remeber first seeing him 4 years ago when i found Channel 5 Gaming trying find how build a park, he inspired me and for that I thank him 🫱🏻
This is such a sad loss for the community. I remember always being happy to hear his name in the spotlights as his creations were always beautiful and inspiring. At least his memory will live on in the creations he left behind, a inspiration and gift to the community. But I send my deepest condolences to his friends and family - I'm so sorry for your loss.
Red and Rohana let me know, my gut sank. That man was a creative genius and brought nothing but inspiration and positivity to the community. Always fair, always friendly and always there for all of us. Life is a piece of shit that way. Xaphor had no business having a video like this made for him but god dam he deserves it, and more.
I was in shock to hear of his passing. So sorry for the loss of your friend and wonderful creator. He will be missed❤ his creations are so unique and beautiful and so well thought out. Truly magical.
The Planet coaster community really wouldn’t have been the same without him and now that he is gone it will feel like a piece of all of us will be missing, gone, but he has left an amazing legacy for all of us. RIP Xaphor hope you are having the best ride up there.
This is an awesome tribute to Xaphor. I haf to cry while watching it. Xaphor was such a kind person and we will all miss him. Rest in piece and may you look down on the community together with Tillie.💜
Unfortunately I came into your community apparently according to this video after his passing but before you guys found out. I'm very sorry for all your loss oh, and I'm also sorry that I never got a chance to be able to speak with him or know him I hope Xaphor is in a better place now. I hope that you all can heal over time from your loss but also still find joy in everything that you remember of your friend
I've been watching park spotlights for years now, and I am so proud to be a part of this community. Seeing how far Channel 5 has come and the progression of everyone's creativity with each new upload has been amazing. I'm just now hearing the news of this tragic loss, and my heart goes out to you all. Rest in peace, Xaphor. A legendary creator. And a legendary man. You will truly be missed. ❤️🙏🥺
If there where to be a next Planet coaster, it should be tittled Planet Coaster X. ( to give credit where credits due.) He made a TON of great looking Content. The variety & in depth coasters & shops ill personally will be looking at a few things in this 1 as well as it's just amazing. R.I.P. Xaphor. Just incredible. Tempest looks real to good just to good. Remember also to look after your self as well to all.
UPDATE: 3/11/24 - Going forward, RMC Immortal, remains one of the best, if not the best, coaster EVER on Planco. That creamy berry colored track will haunt you in your dreams. This is truly a planco masterpiece that very few get to achieve (and there have been thousands). Immortal Coaster is what Planco is all about, showcasing fantasy coaster rides done so well in CGI realism and layout, you actually feel as if your there riding it. BTW - Tempest coaster deserves a nod too, as to its realistic feel of a fantasy big vintage woody. Like Johnny 5 said regarding Tempest: "Wow F##ing Wee". *** The creamy rassberry colored coaster (Immortal) towards the end was one of the best RMC rides I've seen on here. Wow. This was a great legacy ride to leave Planco to showcase. I always look for great theming and color - and all of these rides had that, especially Immortal. RIP Xaphor.
Geez, this hurts. I have been away from PlanCo, Discord and RUclips for awhile (have always been a quiet, but faithful follower of this amazing community), and only discovered today about Xaphor, what an amazing memorial to a legend in PlanCo...
oh forgot to mention, A Fun Fact : The huge centre piece i did, apart from the kirby and xaphor statue, everything else is all xaphor work. I tear apart 11 blueprint and combine it all together. For the 5 coaster tracks on it is also part of his coaster, I removed 90% of his coaster tracks, leaving only that small section track (wish i could put more tracks but sadly workshop blueprint only allow maxim of 5 coaster in it) Have always been a big fan of diorama, so i did one since it fit wells
Hey yo ! i am french and my english is very bad 😅 This Park is amazing and fabulous. I was moved when I see the mémorial. It was a great idea ❤ thank you channel five gaming ! To Xaphor rest in peace 🙏 in french: "reposes en paix au royaume des anges"
Xaphor inspired me! As many other PlanCo peoples, but when I first looked for something to watch (2017), my Rollercoaster Tycoon love, I saw several of his creations spotlights. the Channel 5 binge was real! And all I remember was Xaphor, "Xaphor did it again!", "Xaphor is back at it!" Now I'm sitting here in the new year, in teas, cause damn.... Welp. Rest Easy King. Thank you Johnny for the channel. and Thank you Xaphor for pushing the limits and just having been the amazing person you have been. - Kiki_Aries_23
Thanks to Xaphor for being an outstanding PlanCo community member, discord moderator/operator and overall amicable human being. Thanks, also, to the park builders for this tribute. Lastly, thank you Jonny 5 for fast-laning this to the youtube-video requests. Much deserved. It's shocking news. He will be missed for a long time to come.
Zaphor was much more to your community. I can tell that he was a major staple for Channel5 Gaming and for you Johnny5. He made his mark!! Zaphor was an icon!! I'm still watching this tribute of one awesome park in your brother's memory but it will always be a great memory to have, to experience what his rides were all about. Zaphor will always be with you, to bring a smile when you have when you and the community will always have that." from a loyal spectator/enthusiast of coasters I have enjoyed for over four years here.
Brrrrrrooo. I’m balling right now! I finally got a computer and I’m finally able to play planet coaster. Channel five got me through YEARS of never playing and i remember all of xaphors coaster. I was reading the steam comments and had to come see if it was true. God bless all of yall! Praying for the community and hope everyone is healing
Hello everyone in the planet coaster community, I'm still very new to P.C. and enjoying the game very much. I'm just here to say to all that my heart goes out to all of you for the loss of what sounds to be a great man, the job on this park is the most beautiful thing I have seen on this channel and it comes from such love and heart that truly shows what community really is. I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing more parks...gone but not forgotten.
I'll have to watch this in pieces but this is great and as a newer member of the community I want to thank the creators for taking the time to put all of Xaphor's creations in one place. It's a well deserved memorial and I'm sure he is smiling wherever he is.
I come from a generation where personal computers did not exist, let alone on line communities. It is amazing how on line relationships can be so close and encouraging. May your friend Rest in peace.😢😢
I never knew Xaphor myself or been a part of the Channel5 Gaming community other than watching your videos, but I am just truly happy for the friendship you guys had and how much you clearly meant to each other. Friendships like that is one of the most beautiful things there is. I'm not sure if this is any comfort at all, but I heard a saying once that I felt helped me in when I felt loss like that for the first time, and that is, "Don't be sad it's over, be happy it happened." That tells me yes, it hurts, and that's because it was so meaningful and good. Such a wonderful video and a loving tribute to a man who most certainty touched a lot of hearts. Much love to you all
OOhhhhh Xaphor... May tomorrow be a brighter day, may you find love and laughter along the way. May God keep you in his tender care... til he brings us together again...
His passing got me really hard. Such a lovely, creative person. Great loss for both Planco and Coaster Enthusiasts community. This beautiful tribute shows how his creativity has impacted and will continue to impact so many people he could never imagine. May he rest in peace.
I took quite a break from PlanCo and had no idea this happened... I wish I could write out some long winded speech but I really can't, I've always been terrible with that kind of thing. All I can say is rest in peace Xaphor, hopefully where ever you are, you're happy.
I really am sorry about this, and I'm sorry for your loss, Johnny. I can't believe about his passing, and I also am very saddened. I feel that i lost a friend even though i did not know him personally.
Wow, what a beautiful park spotlight! When the memorial video came, I got goosebumps. I think this will forever be the best park spotlight, not only because of how beautiful the park looks, but also the tribute to him. RIP Xaphor!🙏🏽
Wow! What a moving and beautiful tribute! It brought me to tears hearing the pain in your voice. Sending all of the love and warmth to you and everyone who knew him personally. 💜
I might have left this community because of the lack of inspiration and the way my life was going. But remembering the times I spend here, I can only talk positive about Xaphor, both as a creator and a person. It really hurts me to see a person like that leave us way too soon. May his soul rest in peace and his creations and memories bring us joy to think of who he was. -Jareen2
I had been wondering why zaphor hasn't been on park spotlight on awhile. Super sad news loved when Johnny and xaphor would go thru the parks together. Rip xaphor you will be missed
motor accidents , suicide , and overdose are the 3 leading causes of deaths for younger people ... but really it doesn't matter how one goes ,, all that matters is his consciousness has past onto whatever is next
Damn... i never knew this man, but its clear how much of an impact he had not only on you but the other members of the community. He sounds like he was an amazing person and soul. Im sorry fir the liss of his family and the community and the impact his loss has. Not knowing him, this is still bringing tears to my eyes and i anyway know ill have to break this up into segments.

RIP You‘re maybe gone but won’t be forgotten. Enjoy your ride up there 😢
Never got the chance to meet the legend himself but man did he make some amazing creations! R.I.P Legend!
Frontier wrote the memo for Planco, and Xaphor read and understood it. He knew exactly what to do with all the constructions pieces and special effects .
❤
Wowies.
Hearing all of your stories about the relationship you had with Xaphor just makes me appreciate him even more for who he was. You did a super great job showcasing this park and making it an even better memorial.
Revisiting all of these incredible blueprints and seeing the talent and creativity that the man put into his builds was amazing. I rarely subscribe to blueprints to check them out, but placing in Xaphors builds might have changed that. Even after pulling some of his builds apart, i still didn’t understand how he packed everything into a 4k blueprint, i‘d literally need at least double the piece count for the stuff he built. He knew how to work with the game; he knew the mechanics, pieces and tricks and you really realise that when you check his builds out yourself.
Glad you could let some more emotions out. I think emotions are a very normal and natural thing, unfortunately on social media, real, raw emotions are sometimes blurred out, so i appreciate you not cutting all of that away in the vid. Much love.
RIP Xaphor
We will never forget him.

thank you all for this great memory of a truly legends park, it means a lot to so many people💖💖💖💖
Thank you batch, ryry , bear , jonny who showcase it and everyone else who contributed to it.💙💙💙

Gonna miss xaphor a lot too
I can't think of a better way to celebrate Xaphor's memory & impact he had on our community than by this spotlight.
Thank you so much RyRy, Bear, & Batch and all the creators of this memorial park - it's beautiful.
I can't imagine what making this video must've been like for you, Jonny - knowing Xaphor was your best friend. As hard as it was, thank you for this.

I will miss you Xaphor ❤ Thank you for this, an amazing way to remember him by. 🎉
Jonny I think i've seen every park spotlight you guys have ever done.
There's no doubt in my mind this is the best looking park I've seen period.
Xaphor really was the master! RIP we'll miss him always.
Xaphor is the goat the legend the master and now he has his own park. I’m sure he would be very honoured.
A huge thankyou to the masters in the community that put this together. I downloaded it and have been playing for the last two nights. I'm playing in guest view and am amazed at the perfection put into everything, including the sounds and ambience, as well I love how the guests keep on stopping to watch the various fireworks displays. It adds to the sombre, chilled-out mood in honor of Xaphor. Absolutely spectacular and amazing!
Cried throughout the hole video and…woow… . Thank you for this wonderful park full of happiness in this dark time. ❤️ RIP ❤️
I met Xaphor in person back in February, 2020. Absolutely amazing guy, It's crazy how much knowledge he had on pretty much anything and everything he would often tell us the history of the parks we visited, that we didn't know prior to visiting, we had some great laughs and bitter sweet moments. Memories I'll cherish forever. I couldn't believe it when I heard the news. I'm happy to had the privledge of getting to know him. - RIP My friend Xaphor.
Also, I want to give a massive thankyou to jonny for putting this video together, I can't imagine how hard this must of been for you and the community., I know he's watching over you all.
Xaphor was one of the creators I truly admired. But he also was a great person and did so much for the community. Behind the scenes, and right into the spotlights.

I hope you're doing well given the point in life you are at the moment.
I'm thankful you share your grief and "negative" emotions with us as well. There is no shame in this, I'm proud of you.
Cheers from Germany.
Cheers to Xaphor.
Rip Xaphor... and Channel 5 gaming, I been following you since Planet Coaster first came out.. although we never met, but I felt like know you, and I just want to say my condolences to your mom, may her rest in heaven 🙏
thank you
Thanks for doing this Jonny, it means so much to all of us :)
Though Xaphor's no longer with us, he will never be forgotten
Omg Johnny I loved Xaphor just as much as you, hearing the intro made me cry. Long live Xaphor. ❤

not even half but the guys struggled to get anymore into the park in time, and keep the framerate good.
@@Channel5Gaming makes sense. They did a phenomenal job regardless - it's a stunning park!
I'm not even half way through and already it's the best PC creation I think I've ever seen, equal to Project Planco.@@Bmkmusic
What an incredible tribute. Jonny, you have created another fantastic spotlight that really shows the amazing outpouring of community wide contributions and support for you and those left to carry the torch and continue to create beautiful and entertaining art.
This park is amazing, and I absolutely love it. Thank you to everyone who took the time to make this outstanding park. I can't imagine the time it took to do this, but thank you nonetheless. And thank you Jonny for doing this video, I know it must have been hard after losing a close friend.

Rest in peace Xaphor Aka Steve Lee Ropers
You will never be forgotten
The Planet coaster community really wouldn’t have been the same without him and now that he is gone it will feel like a piece of all of us will be missing, gone, but he has left an amazing legacy for all of us. RIP Xaphor hope you are having the best ride up there.
This is an awesome tribute to Xaphor. I haf to cry while watching it. Xaphor was such a kind person and we will all miss him. Rest in piece and may you look down on the community together with Tillie.💜
R.I.P xaphor never got to meet him but I heard that he was a good man and he must be hats off to him A GOAT…..
Tearing up. . You did great he would be pround
Unfortunately I came into your community apparently according to this video after his passing but before you guys found out. I'm very sorry for all your loss oh, and I'm also sorry that I never got a chance to be able to speak with him or know him I hope Xaphor is in a better place now. I hope that you all can heal over time from your loss but also still find joy in everything that you remember of your friend
I've been watching park spotlights for years now, and I am so proud to be a part of this community. Seeing how far Channel 5 has come and the progression of everyone's creativity with each new upload has been amazing. I'm just now hearing the news of this tragic loss, and my heart goes out to you all. Rest in peace, Xaphor. A legendary creator. And a legendary man. You will truly be missed. ❤️🙏🥺
If there where to be a next Planet coaster, it should be tittled Planet Coaster X. ( to give credit where credits due.) He made a TON of great looking Content. The variety & in depth coasters & shops ill personally will be looking at a few things in this 1 as well as it's just amazing. R.I.P. Xaphor. Just incredible. Tempest looks real to good just to good. Remember also to look after your self as well to all.
Hey bud. I hear it. I feel it. Take that breath. It’s okay.
You did a good thing. Keep your head up.
We’re here for you dog.
UPDATE: 3/11/24 - Going forward, RMC Immortal, remains one of the best, if not the best, coaster EVER on Planco. That creamy berry colored track will haunt you in your dreams. This is truly a planco masterpiece that very few get to achieve (and there have been thousands). Immortal Coaster is what Planco is all about, showcasing fantasy coaster rides done so well in CGI realism and layout, you actually feel as if your there riding it. BTW - Tempest coaster deserves a nod too, as to its realistic feel of a fantasy big vintage woody. Like Johnny 5 said regarding Tempest: "Wow F##ing Wee". *** The creamy rassberry colored coaster (Immortal) towards the end was one of the best RMC rides I've seen on here. Wow. This was a great legacy ride to leave Planco to showcase. I always look for great theming and color - and all of these rides had that, especially Immortal. RIP Xaphor.
Geez, this hurts. I have been away from PlanCo, Discord and RUclips for awhile (have always been a quiet, but faithful follower of this amazing community), and only discovered today about Xaphor, what an amazing memorial to a legend in PlanCo...
Rest in peace
Godspeed my friend
oh forgot to mention,
A Fun Fact :
The huge centre piece i did, apart from the kirby and xaphor statue, everything else is all xaphor work.
I tear apart 11 blueprint and combine it all together.
For the 5 coaster tracks on it is also part of his coaster, I removed 90% of his coaster tracks, leaving only that small section track (wish i could put more tracks but sadly workshop blueprint only allow maxim of 5 coaster in it)
Have always been a big fan of diorama, so i did one since it fit wells
Amazing job on the build. ❤
@@b3artastic890 thanks bear 💙
Hey yo ! i am french and my english is very bad 😅 This Park is amazing and fabulous. I was moved when I see the mémorial. It was a great idea ❤ thank you channel five gaming ! To Xaphor rest in peace 🙏 in french: "reposes en paix au royaume des anges"
What a beautiful tribute from the community and from you Johnny... It tooks courage to record this episode... RIP Xaphor
Xaphor inspired me! As many other PlanCo peoples, but when I first looked for something to watch (2017), my Rollercoaster Tycoon love, I saw several of his creations spotlights. the Channel 5 binge was real! And all I remember was Xaphor, "Xaphor did it again!", "Xaphor is back at it!" Now I'm sitting here in the new year, in teas, cause damn.... Welp. Rest Easy King. Thank you Johnny for the channel. and Thank you Xaphor for pushing the limits and just having been the amazing person you have been. - Kiki_Aries_23
Thanks to Xaphor for being an outstanding PlanCo community member, discord moderator/operator and overall amicable human being. Thanks, also, to the park builders for this tribute. Lastly, thank you Jonny 5 for fast-laning this to the youtube-video requests. Much deserved. It's shocking news. He will be missed for a long time to come.
Zaphor was much more to your community. I can tell that he was a major staple for Channel5 Gaming and for you Johnny5. He made his mark!! Zaphor was an icon!! I'm still watching this tribute of one awesome park in your brother's memory but it will always be a great memory to have, to experience what his rides were all about. Zaphor will always be with you, to bring a smile when you have when you and the community will always have that." from a loyal spectator/enthusiast of coasters I have enjoyed for over four years here.
Brrrrrrooo. I’m balling right now! I finally got a computer and I’m finally able to play planet coaster. Channel five got me through YEARS of never playing and i remember all of xaphors coaster. I was reading the steam comments and had to come see if it was true. God bless all of yall! Praying for the community and hope everyone is healing
Hello everyone in the planet coaster community, I'm still very new to P.C. and enjoying the game very much. I'm just here to say to all that my heart goes out to all of you for the loss of what sounds to be a great man, the job on this park is the most beautiful thing I have seen on this channel and it comes from such love and heart that truly shows what community really is. I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing more parks...gone but not forgotten.
I'll have to watch this in pieces but this is great and as a newer member of the community I want to thank the creators for taking the time to put all of Xaphor's creations in one place. It's a well deserved memorial and I'm sure he is smiling wherever he is.
I come from a generation where personal computers did not exist, let alone on line communities. It is amazing how on line relationships can be so close and encouraging. May your friend Rest in peace.😢😢
3:00 you can tell jonny is broken, it is actually sad😢
❤ Its beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. One can really tell that he meant so much to Jonny.
I never knew Xaphor myself or been a part of the Channel5 Gaming community other than watching your videos, but I am just truly happy for the friendship you guys had and how much you clearly meant to each other. Friendships like that is one of the most beautiful things there is. I'm not sure if this is any comfort at all, but I heard a saying once that I felt helped me in when I felt loss like that for the first time, and that is, "Don't be sad it's over, be happy it happened." That tells me yes, it hurts, and that's because it was so meaningful and good.
Such a wonderful video and a loving tribute to a man who most certainty touched a lot of hearts. Much love to you all
RIP XAPHOR ❤
OOhhhhh Xaphor... May tomorrow be a brighter day, may you find love and laughter along the way. May God keep you in his tender care... til he brings us together again...
Was waiting for this episode! Amazing work and may Xaphor rest in peace.
This is absolutely amazing. R.i.p. I know he is smiling above us right now.
His passing got me really hard. Such a lovely, creative person. Great loss for both Planco and Coaster Enthusiasts community. This beautiful tribute shows how his creativity has impacted and will continue to impact so many people he could never imagine. May he rest in peace.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
🙏🙏🙏
Hey, man. I'm just watching and as that emotional guy I am I just want to send you a big hug.....🐻🤗😥
I took quite a break from PlanCo and had no idea this happened... I wish I could write out some long winded speech but I really can't, I've always been terrible with that kind of thing. All I can say is rest in peace Xaphor, hopefully where ever you are, you're happy.
I really am sorry about this, and I'm sorry for your loss, Johnny. I can't believe about his passing, and I also am very saddened. I feel that i lost a friend even though i did not know him personally.
Omg this is amazing and so perfect. I know he would be so honored. Great job ❤
Wow, what a beautiful park spotlight! When the memorial video came, I got goosebumps. I think this will forever be the best park spotlight, not only because of how beautiful the park looks, but also the tribute to him. RIP Xaphor!🙏🏽
Wow! What a moving and beautiful tribute! It brought me to tears hearing the pain in your voice. Sending all of the love and warmth to you and everyone who knew him personally. 💜
I might have left this community because of the lack of inspiration and the way my life was going. But remembering the times I spend here, I can only talk positive about Xaphor, both as a creator and a person. It really hurts me to see a person like that leave us way too soon. May his soul rest in peace and his creations and memories bring us joy to think of who he was.

We miss you Xaphor.... Will see you up in heaven my friend may you rest in peace.
I had been wondering why zaphor hasn't been on park spotlight on awhile. Super sad news loved when Johnny and xaphor would go thru the parks together. Rip xaphor you will be missed
He will always be part of every one's heart and no matter what ❤
Can Xaphor get a rank made for himself above legend? Maybe God tier?
So beautiful and so sad at the same time.
Do we know the cause of death? Rest in peace Xaphor!
unfortunately no .. :(
motor accidents , suicide , and overdose are the 3 leading causes of deaths for younger people ... but really it doesn't matter how one goes ,, all that matters is his consciousness has past onto whatever is next
May he ride coasters in Heaven, and may he watch over the PlanCo Community, for as long as PlanCo has people making rides and parks!
Man. This is so sad, I could really hear Johnny holding back the emotion in the intro 😢
I think the best way to do it with the awards would be the Xaphor award it would be the best way to immortalize his work for the community
Amazing park. Rest in Heaven brother 🙏🏾
Rest in peace to Xaphor, Johnny. We won't forgotten! 💔 😢 ❤ ♥ 😔 🙏
