I loved when X and TFC teamed up in a UHC match together. X took TFC into the nether and it didn't go so well. But TFC was so cool and chill about it, just staying with Xisuma till the end. I think about that one often, definitely my favorite memory.

TFC was the only hermit.. who was actually a hermit. Lol. He was really one of a kind. I am going to miss him. Rest In Peace TFC

"When people are grieving, let them grieve in the way they need to grieve". Well said, Xisuma.

My memory of TFC is his failed trips to the shopping districts. Him hearing something is a for sale in the shopping district, heading up from the mines and to go looking for what ever it was only to walk past it repeatedly before heading back to the mine empty handed for him to return in the next episode to get it.

My best memory of TinFoil Chef was when he thought his fallout shelter in season 6 was done, and I asked where the bathroom was...

He spent 5 episodes building one, discovered how cool banners were for mirrors, and it was the most epic bathroom.

He always read comments, replied back, and generally loved his fans.

The man, the myth, the legend
Rest in peace Tinfoil Chef

He was a memorable lad. His health has been bad for a while now, but I never expected it to be this sudden. It's sad, it'll hurt. But man did he embody the true hermit spirit.
Live on TFC. You'll be remembered forever 🕊

You know, after seeing ZombieCleo and Grian's videos, it made me appreciate the simple act of leaving a candle in memory of someone a lot more. Even moreso when someone else brings their own candle to add to the altar.

It's not just a sign of grieving for the soul in question, but it also is a small message to the bereaved that they're not alone in their grief.

One of the Hermits I watched the longest... RIP to one of the greats. The true Hermit <3

Thanks for sharing X!

The story of TFC's channel name is also interesting. Hopefully, I have the details correct, and anyone is welcome to correct me or fill in the blanks.

TFC's channel starting as a cooking channel. He named the channel TinFoilChef, as nod to the Iron Chef, which was a cooking show on the Food Network. He chose TinFoilChef, since Tinfoil is a budget version of iron. For one reason or another, his cooking channel didn't pan out, and he rebranded as TinFoilChef's Gaming Channel.

Xisuma when my grandmother died a few years ago I got a wide understanding of how quickly life can change and I have learned to exist in our world by enjoying it seeing everything like it's the first and last time and you see everything as pure beauty it was the greatest turning point in my life. Rest in peace TFC alongside others who have left us.

I remember how happy he was when the hermits bought him a new PC. What an amazing amount of joy brought from an act of kindness. Rip TFC.

I once heard a good analogy for grief...
If you imagine a room, and on one wall there is a button. Every time that button is pressed it causes pain.
Grief is a ball that bounces around in that room. It starts massive, pressing the button near constantly. If you bottle it up the ball never gets smaller. But the more you process the grief - the smaller the ball gets. It's still there. It doesn't vanish. But it gets smaller and smaller until it hardly ever hits that pain button any more. Sometimes it will happen still. But it gets less frequent. So it's easier to go about your day again.

12:20 broke me to tears. It’s nice to see how all of you loved TFC so much even if we didn’t see him too much in episodes of hermits. It reminds us that you hermits are actual friends and not just a group who happen to play together. Hope you are doing fine X, TFC will be remembered always

[CentaurionArcher]

TFC's passing has helped me realise that I'm not good at dealing with death. While TFC was never that YouTuber I always had to watched, he reminded me of my late father, and I think I had unconsciously used TFC as a coping mechanism for some repressed grief there. With TFC's passing, I feel I'm back in the days where I was too busy to grieve and ended up just repressing it

[anthropomorphicpeanut]

For some reason, the moment I remember the most from TFC is when he learned how to use an elytra. He was so stoked about it! Rest in peace, TFC

[samuelcaloracan]

RIP TFC, may he rest in heaven in peace

I think one of my 'favourite' forms of grieving is like this - sharing stories, remembering what you love about them and carrying it forward.

[Jojo.F]

I am two years into dealing with the loss of my beloved younger sister, who was like a miniature TFC in the sense that Minecraft, to her, was only mining. All the mining.

I also tend to bottle stuff up and just...power through stuff instead of addressing it. Therapy was my first time actually venting and addressing my own grief and oh boy, was it a very hard process to begin. Still not sure if I feel any better, but hey. At least I can talk about her these days.

I say all this just to say, I really do understand the pain of losing someone who you care for, especially in such a sudden way. HermitCraft is a Minecraft family and I am sure that you guys are feeling this loss as though it was your own family. It's so hard to process and everyone is so different and varied in how we process grief and hard times. I imagine all of you are having a tough time navigating this event and my heart goes out to y'all.

Rest in peace, TFC.
