Virtual wake for World of Warcraft legend Jarod Nandin held in Stormwind

Early in January 2021, we reported on Jarod "NWBZPWNR" Nandin passing away due to complications from COVID-19. Jarod "NWBZPWNR" Nandin was a World of Warcraft cosplaying legend, most famous for his cosplay presented at BlizzCon 2013 named "That Which Has No Life", in which he paid tribute to an episode of South Park.

Now, friends and family have come together to hold a Virtual Wake in Stormwind city, celebrating Jarod's life, saying goodbye to the legendary cosplayer.

Out of respect to the friends and family of Jarod Nandin, the Virtual Wake wasn't publically announced.
