RIP Brotherchu
RIP Donald Jr Slydell.
I wish you could have been here to redeem yourself and your family. It’s sad that you were taken at such a young age, without having set your foot down in the world. I wish that you had an opportunity to turn your life around and be able to showcase that to the world. I hope your family is able to recover from this, move forward and learn lessons to becoming better people. I hope that your car scene friends are able to honour your memory and they raise enough money to pay for your funeral, so that you can be laid to rest peacefully. I hope that people come together and share the good things about you and you live long in their memories. I hope your mother recovers and uses this time to grieve your loss. I hope your father has the strength to move forward in his own recovery. I hope your sister grows up and is able to make something of herself. I hope you’ve found peace in your transition, that you are somewhere surrounded by love and light. I hope hershey was there too. Rest in peace.

This is the third comment I’ve gone to write. I find myself deleting them all because I just can’t find the words to say. In one night a difficult life turned into a literal nightmare. I can’t imagine what you’re going through, Tophia and Marie. I’m so sorry for your loss.
-
to have your life taken so brutally and suddenly isn't fair to ANYONE. praying for mamachu's quick recovery and tophia's mental healing journey, because neither will be easy.

R.i.p Donald we might not have known you personally but a lot of us or mourning you like we knew you ,many of us woke up with a heavy heart ,you stepped up and became the man of the house to try and provide for your family ,you did not deserve this ,i pray for your family’s health and mental state to have the strength to get through your tragic loss🙏🏽

Tophia,
Normally I would write that I hope you come by here and read this, in a different spirit. This time I hope it actually becomes truth and you do happen by here in your own time. I hope you find peace and solace eventually.
I guess I would simply like to point out, that there are currently 18 thousand people here coming through at the moment. I hope it would be safe to assume that most of those people are in your corner at the moment little one. You aren't alone. -
I'm doing research work today and I keep thinking of him.
Yeah, we've all been following their crazy family because it's better than reality TV show... but the final season came out of nowhere, I guess. What a way to go. Some say he died asleep, some said he protected his family, idk. There are different versions of what happened but we all know that he got shot by a perp on the run.
He was the only one who worked in that family, Dad's gone, sister and mother not mentally there. Tried to pull everyone together. He was... my age. If I were him in that situation, I'd have left. Nothing to hold me back. Not college. Not money. I'd go anywhere and forget everyone else behind me. Get braces. Change my name.
Sure. He was a pedo. But pedos can be treated. There are experts in USA and Germany and other countries, I am sure. I was a victim of a pedo. This may be the first time I say it out loud and I am something of a chronic overshare myself. So yeah, there you go. I have sympathy for Donald and I believe in rehabilitation and self-control. Proportional punishment if there was an offense/crime.
When you look back at his life, it all kinda makes sense. Enjoying those small things like buying a drone instead of necessities. Going to Comic-con. There was a scare, right? Toefupa ended her livestream early because a car menacingly parked near them and wouldn't turn off their headlights. They knew it was not safe sleeping in cars every day. This was their life. There was not much to it. It was survival, but also living in the moment. Enjoying the small things like a warm meal on NYE.
I feel sad. I do. I think about suicide and dying a lot. I'm okay with that. But I am not okay with someone dying in a random, senseless act of violence. We all die in the end. But not like that. Everyone can be good. I believe. And he was good to his sister and mother.

Very well said

Regardless of what people say you have to be able to respect the fact that a man can step up and take care of his family before the age he’s expected to do so. He took care of his mother and his sister the best way he could until the end 💔. That car brought him peace he tried to protect his peace and protect the shelter he got for his family until he couldn’t. I hope his spirit protects his mother and sister and helps them get to better days, show them new opportunities and show them good days and show them happy moments. Remind them that you are still there for them even if you’re in another area of the universe right now. Help them remain strong people. Tophia and Mamachu are strong woman because they’re still standing regardless of what they have been through. Watch over your father through his struggles because we know he loved you. Your life was robbed of you before you saw how fruitful it could be. Hopefully where you are you can find your peace there too. Rest in peace Donald Slydell. 🕊️

To the Slidell family: sending heartfelt condolences during this difficult period in your life. Donald Jr. was a young man who provided for his family, had a strong work ethic, and a love for cars. He showed loyalty to his mother and sister until the end of his life; which is an admirable and noble thing.
Please take the time you need to mourn, and process everything. Take care of yourself.
Sending love and light. -
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:7
I truly hope for the best for the family.

To Donald Slydell Jr.
I'm in shambles as I type this—the tears won’t stop, and I can't sleep...
You will forever be a hero in my eyes. I've been following you and your family for the longest time, and this news has shattered my heart into a thousand pieces. I miss you so much, even though I never had the chance to know you personally.
From the few appearances you made, it was clear to me that you were nothing but an amazing, hardworking brother and son—someone who provided shelter, protection, and love to those you cared for. You truly were a Guardian Angel sent by God to watch over your mother, sister, and father. I hope you can rest easy knowing you did just that.
I had my father, a spiritually strong prayer, pray for the healing of your family to get through this situation. I wish I could articulate myself better because there's so much more I want to say but I'll keep it breif since this is just a reddit post.
To the Mods for this subreddit: Thank you for handling this situation with the utmost respect and grace.

Let us all gather round, and pray for pedophiles

I literally had a dream last night that I let tophia stay at my house after this happened.
regardless of how you feel about her nobody deserves to go through this. Tophia, I cannot imagine the pain and loneliness you’re experiencing. But please know you can get through this it’ll be hard but you can. I admire your brother for wanting to do nothing but help your family and all us internet people can do is give our condolences.
S.N- can you guys stop calling Donald brotherchu?? it seems kinda disrespectful, I understand that’s what everyone referred to him as but he also has a name.
-
Rest in Peace Donald Jr. the first thing i thought of when i woke up this morning was the Slydell family. it’s horrible for something like this to happen to anyone. he was a son, a friend and a brother. you worked so hard with your family in mind and we all know you wanted what was best for them. i hope your family will take this time to grieve and heal. i hope you know that your family is safe now. Rest in Peace.
-
So sorry for your loss everyone deserves a 2nd chance and now that can’t happen. Don’t take this as a troll remark but please take this time to step away from the internet and get your mental health physical health and whatever else you are dealing with together this is the time you need to reflect and spend these precious moments with your family and loved ones..the internet will always be here as you know but not everyone else..my condolences
-
Tophia I am so sorry this happened to you, please take time to heal and focus on what is next for you, we all wish nothing but better days ahead for you please stay safe

When Kevin Owens first came to the WWE, his fighting mantra was “I gotta fight for my family.”
Donald Jr. did it to the very end. He did the best he could to support himself, Toph & Marie but some coward wanted to take him out while protecting his family.
I hope Toph eventually finds some solace and peace & wish Marie a speedy recovery.
Rest in peace Donald Jr. & enjoy the car meets in the sky.
-
Rip Donald JR you were a good person you supported your family even know you didn’t have much you paved a way for you mother and sister when you dad couldn’t I hope you are at peace where you are resting you didn’t deserve to die my heart aches for your family you guys already didn’t have anything and the night he took you they lost everything may God bless your family because it’s going to take god to recover from this insanity.💝
-
R.I.P Donald Jr 🕊️ you don’t deserve any of this, you worked so hard for your family. My prayers are with tophia and marie and I’m so sorry for their loss, this is such a traumatizing experience that I would never wish upon anyone regardless of how I felt of them.
-
Honestly, I feel like people got him wrong. He wasn't a pedophile, but a predator. Yes, I know it is not that big of a difference but still, he did show that he can date a woman his age. Going after younger girls felt more of an opportunistic thing than a genuine attraction to children. So yea, he should have been on the police's radar, maybe getting registered as a sex offender. BUT definitely not getting shot.
RIP

I cried last night when I heard the news. It could’ve been another car, it could’ve been another family but the fact that it’s someone who we listen about all the time and we get updates, you never feel that it’s going to be them. I can’t stop hearing tophiachu crying. She will probably have ptsd for the rest of her life.
This is the darkest day in lolcow history.
-
Exactly. I’m so devastated for them despite all the bs. No one deserves this. This is heart wrenching. I can’t stop crying for them. It’s all so devastating.
-
-
To the Slydells, my heart aches for you. I can’t imagine the pain you must be going through at this time. Losing a loved one is hard enough but in this manner is horrific and something no one should endure. I truly wish the best for you and your family in the coming days and hope you’ll have to strength to pull together and come out of this dark situation. May Marie have a speedy recovery, and may Donald jr. rest in peace.

Please know that as much as we may disapprove of the things you and your family have done, none of us are happy to see you go through this. We see the obvious awful and disgusting comments like the one of the person saying they were going to take you out of this world, and people sharing your lives with obscene names, but please know this does not represent the majority of us. Yes, we snark, but we all want at the end of the day to see you succeed; as hard as that may be to believe. We snark out of frustration with your actions, but it really does come from a place of just wanting to see you make the right choices and get your life on the right path. I hope during this time you can find comfort in these comments left by your “haters”, because really, we are sickened to see you go through this. I can’t stop replaying your crying on your Instagram story in my head, and I’m sure the same goes for others. I can’t imagine having to have gone through that, as many of us feel affected simply having heard the trauma in your voice alone. Please take care of yourself and remember that there is help if you feel like hurting yourself. Your brother would want to see you live, succeed, and be happy. 🩷

Rest easy Donald
He was a man who stuck with his family through thick and thin. He was there for his mother and sister while his father was nowhere to be seen. He could've left them, got his own apartment and lived happily, but he didn't. He chose to stay with them, He took his sister with him to car meets to make friends, he cared.
Tophia if you ever read this just know I'm so freaking sorry this happened to you. I never wished ill-will on you or anyone in your family. I am not religious but I will pray as much as I can for you and your family to be able to cope with this tragedy. If there is somehow a higher power up there I hope they are listening to all of us.
I won't pretend to be a saint either. I hate watched Tophia. I never left mean messages to her, sent doordash, or none of that, but I did discuss in this reddit and on youtube about her antics. But even with that being said I kept coming back because I genuinely enjoyed watching her family.
When I saw the news on the bus home this morning, I was frozen and just shaking my head the whole time. I couldn't even believe what I was seeing. When I got home I just cried and could hardly tell my boyfriend why I was sad because it's so silly to someone not in this "hobby". Obviously I never knew this man, but the senseless, unnecessary loss of life, the lifelong trauma and sadness this will bring to her, everything .. I just can't imagine the pain. This world is just cruel.
I don't know why I'm telling this to a bunch of strangers. I don't know who else to share this with, nobody else would understand
To anyone reading this, please just be kind. Not to just Tophia, but to anyone you can. If we had more kindness and compassion in this world, we would be golden.
-
You spelled celebrations incorrectly in the title
-
Have some empathy. You’re no better. 🤷🏻♀️
-
No, because that would be casting pearls before swine and giving that which is holy to the dogs.
-
empathy for a predator is insanity.
-
-
-
Donald, you fought until your last moment for your family. For that you will always be remembered as an amazing provider. I am so so sorry to Tophia and Marie for their loss. I really hope they're able to heal and get the proper help and resources they need.
-
Nah.

R.I.P Donald Jr.
I don't know what to say except that my heart goes out to your family, your friends, and those who have known you and are currently grieving.
Hearing the news and seeing your son, your brother, your world ripped away is very heartbreaking so I want to let Tophia or Marie know if they come onto this subreddit that I give my deepest condolences and that this is a very unfortunate event.
I wish and pray for your sister's, your father's, and your mother's safety alongside many of your friends' and etc..
Although I normally don't know/am not that good at giving messages like these, R.I.P Donald Jr Slydell. Tophia and Marie, I strongly wish you guys well and take this time to grief. 🕊️🕊️🕯️
-
It’s scary to think someone who’ve we followed for years, whether it was for the drama or entertainment, most were familiar with this family. It’s scary to think how everything can change in less than a day. No matter what you think of the “chu” family, they all had things going on personally. My condolences to the Slydells. I hope i speak for most when I say that, all the things they did don’t deserve this. I pray that Tophia and Marie get somewhere safe and look after each other. RIP Donald Jr🕯️ This is simply a tragedy in the very end. 😕
-
RIP Donald Jr Slydell.
Prayers in hoping Marie gets better.
I also especially hope she does not pass of heart break, nor do I do Tophia.
I truly hope Tophia will recover, grief the way she needs too, and that she has a strong support system. I hope she takes some time off of the internet and focuses on her mom and herself.
I hope the family is able to give him somewhat of a proper burial (cremation or burial), and that he can lie easy.
To Tophia and Marie, I do hope you grow closer from this unfortunate loss, and I pray you two are able to grief the way you need to and therefore heal.
-
Rest in peace Donald, regardless of all the speculations he had. He was the “man of the house” trying for his mom and sister and i always respected and will respect him for it.
-
Only donated what I could, I hope more people pitch in. Horrible situation.
-
Tophia, I am horribly sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine the nightmare you must be going through, and i just can’t express my condolences enough. I hope your mother makes a full recovery and you guys get the help and support you need.
-
RIP Donald. I hope Tophia and Marie can find happiness and peace.
-
As much toxicity as we have spread around about you, Tophia, we have never wished for any danger upon your family. I can say that we were all anticipating that you grow and overcome your struggles; while your family can be happy and healthy. I hope Donald finds his peace on the other side, and that you can too. We are all mourning this loss as nobody should have to go through this; especially not as bad as you have.
Rest in peace Donald Slydell Jr.
Find your peace Tophia & Marie. -
I’m sorry this happened to you Tophia. You didn’t deserve this, your family didn’t, and it’s a tragedy this happened to you. I can’t speak for everyone in here but I hope you know I’m glad you’re okay. I hope you and your mother receive the help needed and I’m truly sorry for your loss.
-
I’m sorry this happened to you Tophia. You didn’t deserve this, your family didn’t, and it’s a tragedy this happened to you. I can’t speak for everyone in here but I hope you know I’m glad you’re okay. I hope you and your mother receive the help needed and I’m truly sorry for your loss.

I was never a fan of Tophia or any of the slydells because of their actions. That being said for this, nobody ever deserves to go through what Tophia did. What happened was extremely heartbreaking and awful. I hope she genuinely recovers from this.
My condolences to the family. It's not easy to lose someone you love 🕊

brotherchu was a pedo, hes rotting in hell lol
-
Seriously. The people posting Bible quotes should know better, that dying time is truth time, and that it's time to Elijah the everloving tar out of Tophia.
-
-
I'm so sorry. Tophia, this shouldn't be a reality for you. That fear and loss should be experienced by no one. Just know we all sincerely never wanted this for you. My thoughts have been with you since yesterday, all day. I just hope you're safe. I hope Marie pulls through. I can't say anything to make anything better, but I do hope it helps in some way. Sincerely, I'm so sorry.
Rest in peace, Donald. You should be here.

Donald felt like the only one in that family who had hope. The only one who had the potential to go somewhere in life. He was also the lifeline for the
slydell family after Donald sr’s arrest. To be the youngest in the family , having to take up the fatherly responsibilities to provide and protect. Having a father that’s so far gone he barely recognises you anymore. But having to keep soldiering on. Say what you want about who he is but that is one thing I have never ever and never will take away from him. He lost his life trying to protect what little he had, knowing he had a sick mother to care for with 0 shelter for them. He fought with the knowledge that he was all they had. To have him be the one to have lost his life, just feels all the more cruel. He used what little he had to give them shelter but also pursue the one thing that kept him sane, especially since papachu’s genetics probably made prioritising his mental stability all the more crucial.Tophia, if you’re reading this. Don’t look at the people who say terrible things to you about this. The community doesn’t claim them and we apologise on their behalf. There are cruel people everywhere but please don’t make the mistake of thinking all of us are like this. I can’t imagine the levels of agony you’re going through, we’re trying our best to support you with what little money we have. Rn? We totally understand you don’t have it in you anymore. It genuinely breaks my heart that you’re wandering around aimlessly, searching for somewhere to rest, with 0 support system. We genuinely are crying and hurting for you over this. You don’t deserve this shit. You don’t deserve something so cruel to happen to you. Please just focus on getting your survival met, your tiktok and all that can be dealt with later.
All we ask is for you to honour your baby brother. To step up to the mantle and actually do something with this money. Don’t do it for nobody, but do it for the two people you have rn. Your mama and yourself. Ultimately when we give you advice, we all do it from a place of genuine concern. Asking you to maintain your hygiene, get a job, etc. we nag at you to do this because we know it’ll alleviate so much of your struggle.
In a sick twist of fate, maybe the tiktok following did help her in this sense. If it wasn’t for her notoriety, she’d have nobody vouching for her. It’s been so much more difficult for Donald’s friends to accrue the funds to give him a dignified burial. And maybe the comic-con trip, despite seeming like a ridiculous waste of money at the time, was instead the last chance for the slydell family to feel a sense of normalcy before it got snatched from them.
If you told me just two days ago that I’d be bawling my eyes out and hurting for Tophia today? I would’ve laughed in your face. But look at where the powers that be have taken us, huh?

R.I.P Donald Jr
You didn't deserve to go this young or this way. You died protecting your family and most likely saved them. I pray they can heal from this. He was tophia's best friend and little brother and marie's and donald's only son. I can't imagine how it feels and tophia if you're reading this I hope you know this isn't your fault, nobody could have known this would happen and you running was a basic human instinct and it saved your life. I hope you take time away from the internet to heal with your family and get support from your community. ❤️

1 pedo down more to go🤷🏾♀️

i keep thinking about that instagram story that tophia posted and it's been the only thing weighing on my mind since. i've had a younger sibling pass, and the way tophia acted reminded me of how i felt in that moment. completely helpless and alone.
it's scary to think about how quickly life can change. one day, everything was relatively normal, and the next she lost donald jr. right in front of her, marie's in the hospital, donald sr.'s been arrested, and the car's been totalled.
hoping the best for marie and tophia. it sucks that this has happened. it really does 💔
-
I wish Tophia knew at the end of the day, we all could never wish harm on her or her family. I'm sorry, Donald, you didn't deserve to go out like this. And I'm sorry, Tophia and Marie, for such an unimaginable loss.

Rest in Peace and power Donald Jr

So incredibly sorry.
Im very sorry for everything you are going through, I hope time can help heal your wounds and i hope life gets better for Marie, Tophia and Donald sr, rest in peace Donald Jr, your memory will remain with us through your family, stay strong, please like Tophia said take care everyone.
