In Memory of Robert BlackDevilX Lewis
On December 18th, 2024, internet communities everywhere were saddened to learn of the tragic passing of Robert Lewis, known around the sonic, gaming, and internet animation scene as BlackDevilX.
Rob was on vacation in Aruba with his favorite people in the whole world, his family, when he suffered a heart attack that took his life.
Rob leaves behind his loving wife, two sons, three siblings, loving Mother and Step Father, a community of followers who loved his art, and an incredible legacy.
Funeral services are yet to be planned as the family prepares to return home from Aruba. If you wish to help donate to fund services for BDX as well as support his family during this painful season, you are welcome to do so here. We welcome your donations, prayers, condolences, and well wishes.

BDX Unironically shaped such an important part of my childhood with FFSX. It inarguably inspired me to indulge in a lot of the creative endeavors in my youth. Much love to his family and loved ones. Please know that his works had a lasting impact, at the very least on this woman's heart. Much love.
I hope this helps.
I just knew about your passing. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, for crafting something so dear to my soul, and for many others. Thank you... rest in peace
Thank you BDX for shaping so much of my childhood. You showed me the magic of putting yourself out there to express your creativity with the world!
Those flash games literally crafted my childhood.
All his works meant a lot to me growing up, as they did many others. My heart goes out to you all
Robert's games kept me company during my childhood when I didn't have many friends nor access to the latest console releases, and his way of storytelling combined with his pixel art animations showed me something I haven't even seen yet in the current gaming industry and inspire me to try to be more like him. My sincerest feelings to the family. May the legend rest in peace.
Didn't know the guy personally but his work has affected me in positive ways
Thanks for the memories.
Thank you for the amazing entertainment you created - it truly was a part of my childhood and helped shape me into the person I am today. Rest in peace.

Goal Reached - What's next
January 5th, 2025
Hey Everyone, Chris (Cdrom1019) here.
Holy WOW. I'd like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone that donated and helped us reach the 12K goal for this give send go. A brief comment from Rob's mother is warranted. She shares, "Our family is completely overwhelmed and touched by the love and support from you all. From the bottom of our heart, Thank You! If we could give this in exchange for him to be here and let him know how much he was loved we would do it in a minute."
Your generosity has covered the cost of one of the funeral services in full.
Today as I write this, we said goodbye to Rob as we held his second and final memorial service. We're all grieving his loss, but thankful for those that remembered him and his work fondly.
I have extended the goal of this give send go to continue to open for the community's generosity if they wish to help cover the cost of the second funeral service. As some of you may or may not know. Rob had a service last week for his family in Long island, and the second one was held in Central New York for those that could not travel or were local to CNY. If you wish to continue to spread this around and raise money for the family to cover these costs, please know we appreciate you.
Much love,
~Chris - cdrom1019
