What a beautiful gesture to get the Q inked on your hand, to carry a little piece of your friend with you for the rest of your days! I'm so sorry for your loss.
Quentin was such an inspiration to me, he showed the world that anything can be accomplished as long as you put your mind to it with a positive attitude. Rest In Peace, and condolences to you too Casey.
Awesome that Quentin was an inspiration to a young Aussie like you Hayden. Older Australians like me grew up watching the TV specials about Quentin and followed his life, but I thought his story might be lost on the younger generation.
Most people in Aust know of Quinton. I knew of him from when he was a kid. He was cheeky and a stirrer and I think that's why everyone loved him. He made a difference and I'm glad he was in your life Casey. A great loss.
@The Malay-American Guy As a young boy Quentin was first interviewed by (a then) very popular television reporter. You can search 'mike willesee quentin' here on youTube.
Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.
Gosh, I didn’t expect to cry during a Casey video today. 😢 Sorry for the loss of your dear friend Casey, his story will inspire and motivate people for years to come!
Thank you, Casey for the recognition Quentin deserved. Quentin Kenihan was his full name and he was an absolute amazing ambassador for Australia. Quentin was born with osteogenesis imperfecta, a rare bone disease which never slowed him down. He was involved in everything including movies like Mad Max: Fury Road and featured as the character Corpus Colossus. He will always be in the hearts of all who knew him and a true inspiration. Rest in peace amazing man!
Oh man, I had no idea he passed away. I was following him since the last video you did together, especially his run for Adelaide City Wardsman, which I thought was awesome. I noticed he hadn't posted recently, but had no idea why, and I was telling my fiancee about him yesterday when we watched Mad Max. Very, very sorry to hear about his passing - he was a remarkable person.
I'm sorry for your loss Casey. I have a loved friend who suffers from an incurable illness, and that has taught me a lot about time and small things. Nowadays I do anything just to talk to her even for a second, because you never know what could happen next. Sometimes, worst moments teach us the best thing in life :)
Damn man, I remember Quentin, and I specifically remember being touched by that video, I shared with my sister who's also disabled and she was very inspired. Really sorry to hear that, sorry for your loss.
Q was a great dude! We swapped books and stayed in contact via social media. We both have Osteogenesis Imperfecta. His was a more severe type, but the through line of working hard to accomplish great things despite our disability is where we bonded. Will miss ya, buddy. Thanks for a great tribute to him, Casey.
I didn’t know Quinton but he sounds like a really good guy. Sorry for your loss buddy. I’m sure you being a friend to him helped him get through some tough days. Thanks for sharing and being so transparent with us. R.I.P Quinton.
Was hoping you would honour Quintin Casey. I was a friend of Q and we went to university together. Everyone here was shocked to hear that hey had left us. It was way to sudden. Q was a beacon and I personally learnt life lessons working with him. I have no doubt he is continuing his journey with the same tenacity as always. Always remembered....
Don’t feel guilty Casey. You definitely made Quentin happy and he for sure lived a better life thanks to you. We’re all sorry for your loss and we’re here for you just like how you’ve been here for us all those times.
I feel Casey, i knew this old man when i was a child and he was like my grandpa, he was like a family member. When i grew up we did not met as usual, because i knew some friends and school started so i was a little bit busy. Then some years later i found that he couldn't walk anymore. He was blocked in his house till he was dead. No elevator in the building. So i started to see him, some days every week, like the good old days. Then I said "Tomorrow we're gonna have lunch togheter, i'm gonna bring you a special meal" (he liked chiken with friend potatoes a lot) and he was happy. Next day, mom came in my room in the morning saying he passed away. Just my fucking fault im writing this here cause i feel so bad rn he was the nicest and happy person i've ever met and i couldnt see him the last day
The majority of Aussies know who Quentin was. He was first brought to our attention when interviewed about his condition (Osteogenisis Imperfecta/Brittle Bone Disease) by journo 'Mike Willesee' back in the early 80's. He was a lovable larrikin who amidst adversity ended up becoming an author, actor & advocate for people living with disability. I love that you got to know him Casey. RIP Q xx
Sorry to hear of his passing. As someone who lives with the fact that due to my medical conditions I may not wake up tomorrow every time I go to sleep, I try fill all my moments with people & do things I love. Everything else is trivial. I prefer to celebrate the time I was lucky enough to have with good friends. Wish you the best Casey. ❤️👍
Oh man Casey, this video. Takes me back to why I started watching your videos. You have a way with the audience and a way with just being honest that sinks deep into our hearts. What a special tribute!
In tears. You're such a deep, genuine, caring, wise soul. I feel so lucky to have recently found your videos while going through a rough time, they're truly inspiring and so motivating. Thank you for your contribution to the world, it changes it for the better.
This is why you will always be my favourite influencer on this platform Casey, you never fail to deliver a meaningful message in each and every video. I watch your videos as a source of motivation as I've been going through a lot of personal struggles lately and they never fail to keep me motivated to keep going. Thank you for this Casey. May Quentin rest in peace.
@Ice Distroyer make it happen, yes many things change, its hard at times but we have to break the cycle and remember not to take things for granted, every moment is precious and valuable.
@@TurboBeads Yes thats true, but in this case Casey didnt expect what would happen to Quentin like he said no one did. Like every other situation he'd just expect to call back and pick up on where they left off. I get that you need to make time for people but sometimes you need to understand that you also need time for yourself
@@clementyau7192 i understand what you mean, no one knows how long they have, nothing is guaranteed but it is up to us to remember that every moment we have on this earth is valuable. Never be too busy to make alittle bit of time for the ones you care about.
As an Aussie born about the same time as Quentin, I remember his interviews with Mike Willesee through the years and thinking, this guy is the same age as me and look at what he can do with his life, amazing. He wasn't meant to live past 30 and when he did, Willesee asked him "What do you do now?" and Quentin's reply, "Make a new bucket list!".
All i can remember while Casey was talking about this was when i was charging my phone one time and when i came back to check it, i got 30+ missed calls from my mom and my sister. I knew right away something was wrong. So i called them back. And the darkest surprise in my life was uttered. My dad passed away on my mom’s birthday almost four years ago now. I know how hard it is to lose someone unexpectedly. Wishing that we could at least gave them our last kiss or hug. God bless everyone. Let’s treasure the time we have with our loved ones.
My heart sank when I read this. I'm so sorry for your loss. 🙏🙏🙏 My Mum pasted away in 2005 unexpectedly at her home. We got back the day before from a family vacation. She seemed a little nostalgic on the trip. Which was unlike my Mum. The last conversation we had we had a little tiff. I try not to think about that and remember the good time we had the week before. I remember the call from my sister like it was yesterday. I have 7 siblings, I was the one that called 4 of them to let them know about our Mum. They all were asking me questions I couldn't not answer. We all were just trying to wrap our heads around it. 💖💔❤💗
emir canlas dude I have these thoughts all the time and no one in my family cherishes anyone I wish you could talk to them because they need some understanding time is limited
That's really tough, I'm so sorry.. We are never ready for loss - 17 or 70. I was 17 when I tried to save my grandfather when the real value of life hit me.
If you believe in the soul, perhaps Quentin is still with you through Georgie. I wish you strength and love. Losing a friend is a terrible thing to endure.
Thanks so much Casey for posting that video. As an Aussie, Quentin is very well known to all of us. I've known of him since i was a young guy and he'd been around the majority of my life. We had seen him grow, progress, survive, be successful and overall be bloody positive despite his disabilities. You have probably seen the videos of him with Mike Willesee, who is a famous Australian TV journalist who brought Quentin to our attention when he was a young boy. He was an inspiration to us all and a fair dinkum dead set great bloke! He will be missed very much by us too.
Don’t feel bad about not talking to him Casey, you did talk to him. That moment is all he needed, when he asked if the baby was born. That moment you heard his voice the moment he heard your voice. Please know that is enough. You were there for him lots of other times. It was just right. Relish those moments, and never have any regrets. And just know that was enough.
You lost a Best Friend and Life gave you another , you will be reminded of Quentin every time your child has a Birthday .... Condolences and Congrats at the same time Casey ( and baby Neistat ).
My brother died just over 2 months ago in a plane crash on his final flight to get his pilots instructors license. For whatever reason watching this video made it easier for me to make some sort of peace with the situation... thank you Casey.
He's free now Casey. Free to run and jump and sing and dance.... and I know he is doing all that and more. He'll always be with you. God bless Quentin and his family & friends - including you Casey.
Every person you meet is fighting their own battle. Never think you alone struggle. There is always someone fighting a bigger battle. Thanks for the reminder Casey
Being able to see the internal beyond the external is something that most people don’t choose to do. You Casey, just showed how good of a friend you are.
Casey, this is one of those situations that I think requires gratitude rather than guilt. I've had a few deaths of close friends in my life over the past 10 years, and I'm quite familiar with that feeling. Fact is, you would have had to been psychic to know what was going to happen and if you did know, of course you would have stopped everything to talk with him before he died. But things worked out the way they did in a beautiful way, because you got to talk to him just before he passed away. And you were blessed with a child basically at the same time to help heal that void. I don't know what your spiritual beliefs are in life or if you have any, but you've got to admit that there's a certain beauty and perfection to that whole scenario. Accept it for what it is and don't blame yourself. You have nothing to blame yourself for, only to be grateful for his friendship, just as he was grateful, I'm sure, for yours. You were an amazing friend to him and a bright shining light in his life which you know he appreciated immensely. Focus on that and be grateful for that time you had with him. ALLOW gratitude and love to heal you and fill that void. He would have wanted that.
Just watched the previous episode with him and now this. So sorry for your loss and the loss to the world. The power of video and documenting will have him live on forever here. Virtual hugs to all
I mean it was ONLY for the thumbail. he didn't do it for the actual video. so he doesn't really care about it as much as you think. you're diving too far into something that isn;'t there
Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.
The circle of life Casey. Sorry for the loss of your special friend. You will always remember him on Georgina’s birthday. And that is a gift. Thanks for sharing his story.
I'm noticing as I grow older this type of situation of getting a call from a friend then saying you'll call them back and something tragic happens, happens often when you get older. Time is precious and I would be gutted to know I said that to someone and then they died unexpectedly.
I took too long to respond to my friend's MySpace message in 2009 to hang out, a couple weeks later she died from a complication during surgery. I would give anything to spend a day eating pizza and watching movies in bed with her. I'll never regret anything more in my life.
This happened with my mother and her brother. He called her to speak and she was at work and couldn’t talk. He dead I believe a few hours from a bad asthma attack after. I unfortunately never got the chance to meet him.
My nana had the flu a couple years back but due to her age she was in hospital just to ensure she was treated properly. My mum and her sister were going in to see her, I wasn't going to go because I had to go to work but last minute I changed my mind. We spent a few hours with her chatting and she seemed fine. She died through the night. I always think how much I would regret not spending those hours with her the day before she died. Every moment counts ❤️
It’s so true Casey. All we have is how we touched others. That’s our true legacy! We need to take advantage of the time that we have & make the most of it. 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Casey, being from Australia, I lost my best friend I never met who lived in Jersey. We would chat all hours, fb, talk on Playstation.. 9 years, you get it.. *We found each other on RUclips* due to our love of dogs. Ironically my then dog videos are now everything you are saying here.. I'm sorry that Quentin passed away. I know he was special. R.I.P mate.
And the light of the world flickered. So sorry for your loss brother. Thank you for being willing to share the sorrow of loosing a loved one. It is relate able and cathartic.
All connections are real. Sorry for your loss, and don't feel guilty Casey, you will always be connected. We can all learn something from Quentin. Anything is possible.
RIP Q. Casey, I'm so very sorry to hear your friend past as your new daughter was being born. Bittersweet memory! Sending positive vibes your way. PEACE LOVE & DREAMS!🇨🇦 💞🌐📷🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌎💚🌍💜🌏💔😢🍂🍃✌💕💭🎬
For those not noticing he was actually Quentin Kenihan, the main villain in Mad Max Fury Road. He seemed to be a great person (plus he had a Funko Pop collection, so he was obviously cool). Beautiful tribute, stay strong Casey.
I remember the day my first niece was born. We were all waiting outside the room with excitement, listening for her little cry. So many people waiting to give this little human love. Then we received the call that my grandpa had passed away. He was my step-grandpa, but he was the only grandpa I ever had. We sat there trying to figure out how we would tell my sister who had just brought this bundle of joy into the world. We walked into her room to tell her, but she already knew. She had felt his spirit there, visiting my beautiful niece that he had been so excited to meet. It was a hard day emotionally for everyone. My niece is 13 now & she knows about her great grandpa & how much he loved her. I can understand how you're feeling, Casey. I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you can grieve & heal & maybe it will help to tell sweet little Georgie about how wonderful Quentin was.
I never knew Quinton but as you explain him he sounds amazing. Just think that even though a great person left this world, another great person entered. And I’m sure that with a great father like you, your children will grow up to do great things.
That ending made me tear up immediately. The footage from his childhood, the pain he went through, its heartbreaking. Thanks for doing this video Casey, I dont usually watch your videos but came here cause i heard the news. The world truly lost a legend :(
Quentin was a great guy, he recently helped out with developing and sourcing funds for the first sensory play ground dedicated to kids with disabilities in South Australia. They're now building a second playground which will be named after him.
Super sad indeed! Quentin impacted so many people in such a positive way and even though it's upsetting that he's passed there's a clear lesson here; that it's up to all of us to leave a meaningful impact behind when we leave this world! It's important to manifest a life where we're growing + changing every day to become better versions of ourselves so we can make a positive and real impact on the people around us and on the world as a whole! It's also important to recognize that life could be over in the blink of an eye. Cherish the limited you have time with loved ones, live your truest calling and start taking action towards the person you know can be TODAY.
I feel sad learning, just now, of Quentins passing. I was holidaying in Bali, and celebrating my birthday, at the time and quite obviously missing the news. I remember, as a child, watching the Mike Willesee interviews with him. It was always a humbling wake up call, seeing the "little Aussie Battler" grow from a young fella into an accomplished, older man, on our T.V screens. I believe watching the early interviews, gave me a sense of empathy and understanding towards people of all abilities, and a greater appreciation for life. Thank you Quentin, for being.
We love you so much, Casey. This is one of those moments I wish I could reach out and give you a hug. Sometimes words just do not suffice. Having said that, what you shared with us here is an inspiring and enduring tribute to a life well lived.

Sorry to hear about your friend. I lost a friend almost 10 years ago now. I don't think I go a day without thinking about him. I'm thankful I knew him the short time that I did and I'm sure you feel the same way about Quentin God bless them both.🌹🕊
Wow what a powerful image that last shot of the tattoo is. I was feeling it the whole time and that shot really drove it home. Thank you for expressing your feelings in the best way you know how Casey
My childhood best friend committed suicide early 2016, and his funeral ended up being on my 20th birthday. It was such a weird juxtaposition, so Casey I want to let you know that I feel you. It’s an odd sadness, but to celebrate life while also commemorating those who are no longer here helps you cope in a strange way
I lost a childhood friend. We've stayed in the same neighbourhood for 16 yrs(back then). He died on my 24th birthday. He was like a big brother when we were in Primary school.. I also had a guilt for not talking him out of drug abuse. I've quit smoking ever since he died...
I can completely understand how hard it is to convey your feelings when you're in front of another person. I've always been better at expressing how I feel with written word than spoken. My ex-wife ruined me to the point that I only have one mood and that mood is always pissy. All I have left in this entire world is my mom and dad, and my days are spent in excruciating anxiety worrying about them. Towards the end of my marriage I attempted suicide twice without luck, and after the divorce was finalized I tried again. Laying in the hospital hooked up to iv's sick as a dog shaking uncontrollably I saw my mom and dad cry for the first time in my entire life. To make a long story short it took an incredibly selfish mistake on my part to realize that I'm all that my parents have too. And at that moment I finally saw the light at the end of my dark tunnel. I survived three attempts at killing myself to be able to be around for them. They need me as badly as I need them. Everyone needs someone. Be that someone for somebody else and your life will be filled with glorious purpose. Much love Casey. I hope time can heal your wound from loosing such a good friend.
First I heard of this :( Really sucks, I was hoping to meet him one day. He's reached so many people and inspired them in the same way. Thank you for getting his story to the world. No excuses, ever.
So sorry for your loss Casey... the world is cruel sometimes, and then beautiful. We recently lost an uncle to suicide, he went out by train so its been tough to see/hear about. But you feel the impact of each person and how they touched the world, the lives around you even. All we can do is keep them in our hearts and in our minds, and never stop speaking their name or sharing their stories. That's what makes the world beautiful... good luck to you Casey, and thanks for Sharing this story with all of us.
Quintin lived in my city of Adelaide. Not only was he doing well but he was running for city council. He is Australian legend now. Rest in piece Q

Arghh I didn’t want to bring it up but yes everyone is spelling his name wrong
Sorry to hear the news Casey - stay strong!
Casey needs to have strong legs to endure and support this pain.
So it wasn’t because he cut the Play Button in half.

My Mum pasted away in 2005 unexpectedly at her home. We got back the day before from a family vacation. She seemed a little nostalgic on the trip. Which was unlike my Mum. The last conversation we had we had a little tiff. I try not to think about that and remember the good time we had the week before. I remember the call from my sister like it was yesterday. I have 7 siblings, I was the one that called 4 of them to let them know about our Mum. They all were asking me questions I couldn't not answer. We all were just trying to wrap our heads around it. 💖💔❤💗
emir canlas dude I have these thoughts all the time and no one in my family cherishes anyone I wish you could talk to them because they need some understanding time is limited
Lil Wolfi I reported you... how could you have such a bad heart... you should either say sorry or go to hell.
Condolence
May your dad have rest and may you feel happy knowing he is up there looking down on his amazing child R.I.P Mr. Canlas 🙁
That's really tough, I'm so sorry.. We are never ready for loss - 17 or 70. I was 17 when I tried to save my grandfather when the real value of life hit me.
There is none...
Rule 24 he’s not talking about meaning but value smh
Almost the same story with my cousin, he was 19 and my gramps was maybe 84.
If you believe in the soul, perhaps Quentin is still with you through Georgie. I wish you strength and love. Losing a friend is a terrible thing to endure.
we all lost Quentin, he was an amazing person, he is free to walk tall, sorry for you're loss Casey cheers Donna
Thanks so much Casey for posting that video. As an Aussie, Quentin is very well known to all of us. I've known of him since i was a young guy and he'd been around the majority of my life. We had seen him grow, progress, survive, be successful and overall be bloody positive despite his disabilities. You have probably seen the videos of him with Mike Willesee, who is a famous Australian TV journalist who brought Quentin to our attention when he was a young boy. He was an inspiration to us all and a fair dinkum dead set great bloke! He will be missed very much by us too.
It's legit when Casey takes his glasses off
Don’t feel bad about not talking to him Casey, you did talk to him. That moment is all he needed, when he asked if the baby was born. That moment you heard his voice the moment he heard your voice. Please know that is enough. You were there for him lots of other times. It was just right. Relish those moments, and never have any regrets. And just know that was enough.
Tina Storts very well said❤️
Really well-put!!
Tina Storts That is so beautiful. Really just that moment was enough.
You lost a Best Friend and Life gave you another , you will be reminded of Quentin every time your child has a Birthday .... Condolences and Congrats at the same time Casey ( and baby Neistat ).
Having friends so close this way...runs special and deep...Bless you and Quinton and all you shared and lights that got lifted.
My brother died just over 2 months ago in a plane crash on his final flight to get his pilots instructors license. For whatever reason watching this video made it easier for me to make some sort of peace with the situation... thank you Casey.
Sisson I’m so very sorry 😢 cannot imagine such a loss. God bless u
Sisson *insert Fortnite dance*
Sisson - Sorry for your loss💛
emilio frost hahaha
@@woodyfrost919 lol hahaha
He's free now Casey. Free to run and jump and sing and dance.... and I know he is doing all that and more. He'll always be with you. God bless Quentin and his family & friends - including you Casey.
Underrated comment you earned a like.
Every person you meet is fighting their own battle. Never think you alone struggle. There is always someone fighting a bigger battle. Thanks for the reminder Casey
Well said!!
Thanks for this. One of the things I've learned as I get into my 40s is friends can disappear from this earth when you least except it. Sucks.
Being able to see the internal beyond the external is something that most people don’t choose to do. You Casey, just showed how good of a friend you are.
What a beautiful tribute to your friend. You were a great friend - he knew you would call him back 💗
Sydney Mel top tier comfortgiving, even i feel better now 🤝
Such a nice thing to say and I agree with you all the way Casey always does nice things and alway goes out of his way for his family and friends.
Casey, this is one of those situations that I think requires gratitude rather than guilt. I've had a few deaths of close friends in my life over the past 10 years, and I'm quite familiar with that feeling. Fact is, you would have had to been psychic to know what was going to happen and if you did know, of course you would have stopped everything to talk with him before he died. But things worked out the way they did in a beautiful way, because you got to talk to him just before he passed away. And you were blessed with a child basically at the same time to help heal that void. I don't know what your spiritual beliefs are in life or if you have any, but you've got to admit that there's a certain beauty and perfection to that whole scenario. Accept it for what it is and don't blame yourself. You have nothing to blame yourself for, only to be grateful for his friendship, just as he was grateful, I'm sure, for yours. You were an amazing friend to him and a bright shining light in his life which you know he appreciated immensely. Focus on that and be grateful for that time you had with him.
ALLOW gratitude and love to heal you and fill that void. He would have wanted that.
well said
exactly ! Perfectly said @We The Animals
We The Animals best comment I have seen in a while
Just watched the previous episode with him and now this. So sorry for your loss and the loss to the world. The power of video and documenting will have him live on forever here. Virtual hugs to all
your know it's going to be a serious video when you see the thumbnail with Casey not wearing his glasses.
H . A lol fr
lol who did this lololol, whatever you say. Haters are my motivaters.
I mean it was ONLY for the thumbail. he didn't do it for the actual video. so he doesn't really care about it as much as you think. you're diving too far into something that isn;'t there
Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.
Legend Vlogs haha lol
The circle of life Casey. Sorry for the loss of your special friend. You will always remember him on Georgina’s birthday. And that is a gift. Thanks for sharing his story.
I'm noticing as I grow older this type of situation of getting a call from a friend then saying you'll call them back and something tragic happens, happens often when you get older. Time is precious and I would be gutted to know I said that to someone and then they died unexpectedly.
I took too long to respond to my friend's MySpace message in 2009 to hang out, a couple weeks later she died from a complication during surgery. I would give anything to spend a day eating pizza and watching movies in bed with her. I'll never regret anything more in my life.
This happened with my mother and her brother. He called her to speak and she was at work and couldn’t talk. He dead I believe a few hours from a bad asthma attack after. I unfortunately never got the chance to meet him.
My nana had the flu a couple years back but due to her age she was in hospital just to ensure she was treated properly. My mum and her sister were going in to see her, I wasn't going to go because I had to go to work but last minute I changed my mind. We spent a few hours with her chatting and she seemed fine. She died through the night. I always think how much I would regret not spending those hours with her the day before she died. Every moment counts ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss Casey. Thank you for sharing Quintin’s story and continuing his legacy of perseverance and courage in the world!
It’s so true Casey. All we have is how we touched others. That’s our true legacy!
We need to take advantage of the time that we have & make the most of it. 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Casey, being from Australia, I lost my best friend I never met who lived in Jersey.
We would chat all hours, fb, talk on Playstation.. 9 years, you get it.. *We found each other on RUclips* due to our love of dogs. Ironically my then dog videos are now everything you are saying here.. I'm sorry that Quentin passed away. I know he was special. R.I.P mate.
RIP! My condolence from germany :(
Casey, you are such a real guy. Props to you, this was heartfelt. Godspeed Quinten.
And the light of the world flickered. So sorry for your loss brother. Thank you for being willing to share the sorrow of loosing a loved one. It is relate able and cathartic.
This left me in tears 😭
Same bru
Sorry to hear about your friend Casey

All connections are real. Sorry for your loss, and don't feel guilty Casey, you will always be connected. We can all learn something from Quentin. Anything is possible.
So sad but such a great message for us all.
RIP Quentin!
I'll always find amazing how you, Casey, can portrait so many feelings in just a clip. I'm sorry for your loss.
RIP Q.
Casey, I'm so very sorry to hear your friend past as your new daughter was being born. Bittersweet memory!
Sending positive vibes your way.
PEACE LOVE & DREAMS!🇨🇦

my condolences
thanks for sharing this with us Casey
I'm sure he's proud of you
For those not noticing he was actually Quentin Kenihan, the main villain in Mad Max Fury Road. He seemed to be a great person (plus he had a Funko Pop collection, so he was obviously cool). Beautiful tribute, stay strong Casey.
He's in Valhalla shiny and chrome
I remember the day my first niece was born. We were all waiting outside the room with excitement, listening for her little cry. So many people waiting to give this little human love. Then we received the call that my grandpa had passed away. He was my step-grandpa, but he was the only grandpa I ever had. We sat there trying to figure out how we would tell my sister who had just brought this bundle of joy into the world. We walked into her room to tell her, but she already knew. She had felt his spirit there, visiting my beautiful niece that he had been so excited to meet. It was a hard day emotionally for everyone. My niece is 13 now & she knows about her great grandpa & how much he loved her. I can understand how you're feeling, Casey. I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you can grieve & heal & maybe it will help to tell sweet little Georgie about how wonderful Quentin was.
I never knew Quinton but as you explain him he sounds amazing. Just think that even though a great person left this world, another great person entered. And I’m sure that with a great father like you, your children will grow up to do great things.
I remember that video. It was one of my favorites. He was an inspiration. Rest In Piece Quinten
Peace*
Beautiful homage sequence at the end Casey you are a great friend 👍
That ending made me tear up immediately. The footage from his childhood, the pain he went through, its heartbreaking. Thanks for doing this video Casey, I dont usually watch your videos but came here cause i heard the news. The world truly lost a legend :(
Hate to see you hurt. Stay strong. We all love you.
This Little Critic ❤️
😥
Quentin was a great guy, he recently helped out with developing and sourcing funds for the first sensory play ground dedicated to kids with disabilities in South Australia. They're now building a second playground which will be named after him.
Super sad indeed! Quentin impacted so many people in such a positive way and even though it's upsetting that he's passed there's a clear lesson here; that it's up to all of us to leave a meaningful impact behind when we leave this world! It's important to manifest a life where we're growing + changing every day to become better versions of ourselves so we can make a positive and real impact on the people around us and on the world as a whole! It's also important to recognize that life could be over in the blink of an eye. Cherish the limited you have time with loved ones, live your truest calling and start taking action towards the person you know can be TODAY.
Very well said! So true, it's so important to realize that life doesn't last for ever and any day could be your last.!!
I feel sad learning, just now, of Quentins passing. I was holidaying in Bali, and celebrating my birthday, at the time and quite obviously missing the news. I remember, as a child, watching the Mike Willesee interviews with him. It was always a humbling wake up call, seeing the "little Aussie Battler" grow from a young fella into an accomplished, older man, on our T.V screens. I believe watching the early interviews, gave me a sense of empathy and understanding towards people of all abilities, and a greater appreciation for life. Thank you Quentin, for being.
We love you so much, Casey. This is one of those moments I wish I could reach out and give you a hug. Sometimes words just do not suffice. Having said that, what you shared with us here is an inspiring and enduring tribute to a life well lived.
It's sad to hear Casey! Stay strong, we will always be here for you.
I cried when I saw you get a “Q” tattoo. This is such a sweet video
this is so true..
Casey, the clip at the end really made me tear up. What a gift to the world he was and what a wonderful way to honor him.

I'm sorry for your loss.
Life is a time-lapse. We should make it count.
👍👌👏☺💙
Sorry to hear about your friend. I lost a friend almost 10 years ago now. I don't think I go a day without thinking about him. I'm thankful I knew him the short time that I did and I'm sure you feel the same way about Quentin God bless them both.🌹🕊
Wow what a powerful image that last shot of the tattoo is. I was feeling it the whole time and that shot really drove it home. Thank you for expressing your feelings in the best way you know how Casey
Sorry for your loss Casey, I can't feel or imagine what you must be going through but know that we all are here for you. RIP Quentin
Are you a Sociopath?
My childhood best friend committed suicide early 2016, and his funeral ended up being on my 20th birthday. It was such a weird juxtaposition, so Casey I want to let you know that I feel you. It’s an odd sadness, but to celebrate life while also commemorating those who are no longer here helps you cope in a strange way
That must have been real hard
I am sending you a big hug!
...some friend you were
darkspd31 how do you mean?
i live in Adelaide where he lived... was a sad day when he passed
Same
I’m so sorry for your loss Casey. Thank you so much for sharing Quinton’s story with us.
Live Forever.
I can see how much he meant to you, and I know he was a wonderful man, because you felt such deep loss from him being gone.
So sorry to hear about Quentin's passing. Thank you for sharing who is was with us.
I remember the first video u showed, stay positive in negative times bro🙏🏼❤
That tattoo is an awesome way of honoring and remembering your friend. Subtle but those who watch your channel or know will understand its importance.
I lost a childhood friend. We've stayed in the same neighbourhood for 16 yrs(back then). He died on my 24th birthday. He was like a big brother when we were in Primary school.. I also had a guilt for not talking him out of drug abuse. I've quit smoking ever since he died...
I can completely understand how hard it is to convey your feelings when you're in front of another person. I've always been better at expressing how I feel with written word than spoken. My ex-wife ruined me to the point that I only have one mood and that mood is always pissy. All I have left in this entire world is my mom and dad, and my days are spent in excruciating anxiety worrying about them. Towards the end of my marriage I attempted suicide twice without luck, and after the divorce was finalized I tried again. Laying in the hospital hooked up to iv's sick as a dog shaking uncontrollably I saw my mom and dad cry for the first time in my entire life. To make a long story short it took an incredibly selfish mistake on my part to realize that I'm all that my parents have too. And at that moment I finally saw the light at the end of my dark tunnel. I survived three attempts at killing myself to be able to be around for them. They need me as badly as I need them. Everyone needs someone. Be that someone for somebody else and your life will be filled with glorious purpose. Much love Casey. I hope time can heal your wound from loosing such a good friend.
First I heard of this :( Really sucks, I was hoping to meet him one day. He's reached so many people and inspired them in the same way. Thank you for getting his story to the world. No excuses, ever.
So sorry for your loss Casey... the world is cruel sometimes, and then beautiful. We recently lost an uncle to suicide, he went out by train so its been tough to see/hear about. But you feel the impact of each person and how they touched the world, the lives around you even. All we can do is keep them in our hearts and in our minds, and never stop speaking their name or sharing their stories. That's what makes the world beautiful... good luck to you Casey, and thanks for Sharing this story with all of us.
