Yesterday, once I knew about the news on GTAForums as soon as they were posted, I decided it was a good man's move to message Rockstar about it, given Yeardley had had the spotlight on him by Rockstar many, many times. I sent this to their Mouthoff:

Dear Rockstar,

You may have known who Yeardly Diamond was. You have featured him and many of his videos on the Newswire and we GTA fans know he was very highly recognised by you guys. It's with a lot of sadness I and a lot of GTA fans bring you these saddening news, that Yeardly Diamond, also known as Francis Agapito, has passed away August 20.
 
https://www.facebook...eardley.diamond This is his Facebook profile (you can check it is official on his YouTube channel), where his brother announces his death. As a very talented video maker, that has been featured many times by Rockstar, I thought it was a good idea to let you know. Rest in Peace, Yeardley Diamond.
 
Thanks for your time,
A dedicated GTA fan in the name of every fan of GTA and Yeardly Diamond.

It's really not the most formal of things but I decided to raise some awareness. Rockstar seems to have noticed today, which is an amazing move by them. Rest in Peace, Yeardley.

Rockstar always takes a look at fan tributes and honorees so I wouldn't be too surprised, it gives people who obsess over GTA a way to commune with one another and connect, whether it be through Rockstar's own fan site or other Social Media. YouTube obviously as big a connecting place as Facebook or Twitter, Me thinks,... Bigger!

Amazing work he did of course, though I can't say I knew him well at all, We do take our hats off for a moment of silence, Died far too young. 

R.I.P his talent amazes me. Will have my respect always.

Sad news of his passing, especially at his young age. May he rest in peace now, and may the family, friends and everybody keep good memories of him.

I would like go give big big salamat to him, his family and friends in the GTA scene for being one of the most creative and funniest modding dudes ever. You will be missed, Yeardly.
