Tim, who had previously shared his personal story on his channel, is one of the kindest people in the Clash scene, and the feedback following the tragic news certainly reflect that.
The Clash community already geared up and started a GoFundMe campaign to support Ash through this difficult time, already raising $3,300 out of the $10,000 goal. If you feel like it, please head there and contribute.
Jack (OneHive) and Powerbang also posted public videos about the news and Powerbang also held a live stream on Kamcord on Monday night and raised $2,000 during that time.

It’s really hearth-warming to see how the community rise up to support Ash at this difficult time.
And on a more personal note: Deepest condolences to you and your family, Tim. Take your time and be with your family and friends as long as needed.
