Celebrity Lance Reddick recently passed away, and the internet is full of tributes to his memory, including one fan’s Destiny-themed crochet.
Famous actor and voice talent for Destiny 2 Lance Reddick recently passed away due to natural causes, and many have taken to the internet in tribute to his various roles over the years. Fans have even taken to crowding Destiny 2‘s Zavala, voiced by Reddick, in-game to remember the actor and his iconic performance as the Vanguard Commander. One fan, in particular, took to Reddit to share their tribute to the deceased Destiny 2 voice actor, a corner-to-corner crochet of the “Push Forward” emblem, which players can attain by completing strikes and earning rank-up packages from Zavala.
Destiny 2‘s hub area was crowded the day after the news first broke of Reddick’s passing, with fans surrounding the character he portrayed. Since this initial tribute from Destiny 2 fans, more tributes to Reddick’s legacy have been shared around the internet, from figurines to an in-game monument. Although many are still saddened by the renowned actor’s death, his memory lives on through his iconic performance as Commander Zavala and the enigmatic Charon from the John Wick films.
One Destiny 2 player, known as thethreadhare, posted their tribute to Reddick on Reddit, sharing an image of a crochet, in reference to Zavala’s knitting habit hinted at through various minor details within his office in Destiny 2. The crochet is of an emblem Zavala rewards players with, known as “Push Forward.”
The crochet tribute to Reddick is both a heartfelt attempt at honoring the late actor, and a reference to one of his most iconic role’s subtle details. The crochet is just one of many online posts meant to honor the Destiny 2 voice actor, and serves as a reminder that although the actor is gone, he isn’t forgotten. Players thankfully have more Zavala content to come, so Reddick’s passing doesn’t mean online audiences have to say their goodbyes to the iconic performance just yet.
Reddick’s death is tragic, and comes too soon. With an acting career spanning over thirty years in both television and video games, it’s hard to find someone who isn’t familiar with some of the late actor’s work. One of Reddick’s last performances in film, John Wick: Chapter 4, leaned into the actor’s talent to provide a brief albeit powerful performance and helps highlight just how painful the actor’s death is for online audiences. Reddick’s work will continue to live on through the various tributes shared by fans, with his iconic character Zavala being a standout for many around the world.
Destiny 2 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
