He really inspired the idea just how awesome fan creations can really be, and remembered through the years.
He was truly one of a kind.
Rest in peace.
HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!
Man, 2024 has been a shitty year for me, losing several artist that made my childhood. Including Akira Toriyama, Rachael Lillis, and now him.
It’s heartbreaking really
This year has been really rough and I hope next isn’t as so bad without so many losses
Rest in Peace devil
I didn’t know his game series or the guy himself but I can tell he was a very passionate and good person
Honestly
just an idea and not a request
It would pretty sweet if the NG community made a art collab tributing those we lost on NG
Just an idea of course and it’s not necessary
| It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose|||Love belongs to Desire, and Desire is always cruel.||||
peepeepoopoo

My greatest condolensces to his family, friends, and fans alike. This was a heavy hitter.
Hopefully his family is doing good, rest easy king.

Rob Lewis, aka BlackDevilX was best known around here for the Final Fantasy Sonic X and Super Smash Allstars series.

He was also a father, radio show host and loved connecting with fans.
His history on NG spans 15 years and his last Tweet was a playful throwback to the FF Sonic X series:
Rob passed of a heart attack while on vacation with his family in Aruba, as reported by his sister and relayed to me by @JRetrioX, a huge BDX fan.
Rob will be missed and has been added to the In Memoriam page.
Update: We've loved seeing your FFSX art celebrating Rob's legacy!

My condolences. I even recall playing Final Fantasy Sonic X at one point
