It always feels weird to me, mourning someone i never knew. But for Lance Reddick… i mean, of course i’m mourning his death.
Since Destiny 1 Year 1, i’ve been a diehard titan main. I remember taking so long in character creation, just because i was carefully evaluating the blurbs of each subclass to see which one resonated most with me. I remember getting back to the tower, and being in awe of this powerful sounding man, who taught me who the titans really were
Lance Reddick was an incredibly talented voice actor, and truly brought his characters to life. He was given a role of an authority figure with Commander Zavala, and made someone that, whenever you heard his voice, you could feel safe because he was there and guiding you. No matter how dark things got in the world, it was his voice urging us to never give up hope. He was our vanguard commander. Our space dad.
It takes someone truly incredible to take a character like Zavala, and pull him off in a way that makes him seem so powerful, yet so gentle.
But he didn’t stop there, of course. Lance Reddick went above and beyond just his basic role as a voice actor, and would often engage with the community, having fun with us, giving us words of encouragement, and just overall being a blast. He was an excellent fit in our community.
I’ll miss you commander. Rest well <3
I’m reminiscing a lot, so if anyone wants to reminisce with me, here are some videos I found that he made for the community over the years, along with some interviews too
A message to the titans in regards to the Guardian Games

Feel free to add on to this list if you want. I think today would be a good day to celebrate what a cool guy he was.
