Jarod Nandin, known to fans as “The South Park Guy” cosplayer, has passed away as a result of COVID-19. As reported by Wowhead, Nandin, who was known to the World of Warcraft community as NWBZPWNR, passed away after contracting COVID-19. Nandin revealed his initial condition with friends and family on Twitter on December 18, and after officially testing positive a few days later, he sadly passed. Nandin is known to many in the World of Warcraft community for faithfully recreating one of the most infamous jokes in South Park history.

Nandin made big waves at BlizzCon 2013, cosplaying as the World of Warcraft gamer (“That Which Has No Life”) who became way too strong for the game in the South Park Season 10 Episode, “Make Love, Not Warcraft.” Not just cheating in certain aspects and getting aggressive towards new players, South Park closed it off with a look at the real version of the player – sitting in a chair in front of his computer.

Nandin really struck a chord with both World of Warcraft and South Park fans when he arrived at BlizzCon 2013 in a cosplay that fully reflected this joke character. Nandin enjoyed the look so much, he quickly moved on with fans and became the de-facto “South Park Guy” for many, going so far as to shave the top of his head to complete the ridiculous look. Because it might have been a way out South Park For fun, Nandin took it to the next level and regained the look in a hilarious new way.
