Percy Inglis death: Marcus Dibble mourns friend Percy Cawthorne death

Percy Inglis death: Australian YouTuber/Facebook Personality Marcus Dibble has mourned Percy Cawthorne death.

Writing in a touching statement he just released on social media, Marcus described Percy Cawthrone (Percy Inglis) as a soldier and a friend and explained Percy is much more than what could be seen from the videos he created 5 years ago.

Marcus also disclosed that before Percy Inglis death (Percy Cawthrone death), both of them were always friends.

Read the statement below:

A few days ago the unthinkable had happened,
we lost a soldier, a friend, someone we all knew in one way or another.

Percy Cawthorne.

This is a really devastating event. I’m lost for words but I’ll try to explain this as detailed as I can so we all understand.

We need to recognise as a community that even though most of us knew him as the kid from the videos we made, he was more than that.

He was a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Champion,
A son,
A friend,
A boyfriend,
A hard-working individual,
A fighter,
And much more…

People are quick to jump on the bandwagon and make judgements of his character based on the videos we created 5 years ago, instead of looking at the bigger picture and realising his life was more than that.

Fun fact for you all, Percy and I were always friends. We talked to each other for years and messaged to see how we were on multiple occasions, he was a caring person.

I’ve spoken to his best mates/councillors and they’ve all said Percy looked up to me. There was no malicious intent and whenever he was making his videos he would say “do you think this will make Dibble laugh”. This in itself shows what kind of person he really was.

People don’t seem to realise there is a person behind the character being portrayed and grasp the true intent behind the content being created. For that reason in itself, I have taken the videos down out of respect.

As said above, I’ve been in contact with his closest friends, guidance councillor and will be in contact with his family shortly. We are planning to do something big for him which will
unfold in the upcoming weeks. I can’t wait to release what we’ve brainstormed as I know it will help a lot of people and that Percy would have loved this.

If you are struggling and need to talk there will ALWAYS be someone willing to listen. I urge you to reach out and please find the strength from within yourself to do so. There are people out there with the best morals, support and no judgement. This is something we need to recognise and keep spreading awareness of, for everybody.

I will always remember Percy as the respectful and humbled individual he became, who put a smile on all our faces with his absurd energy and the worldwide videos that we created. I thank him for his assistance for whenever I was in need especially from a lad who cared for others while he was fighting an internal battle.

From his friends, family and viewers. we will all miss you.

Rest in paradise Percy Cawthorne <3
