Frankie Bagnardi aka GreenJello has passed away on Sept 13, 2021 at age 27
Many of you in this channel know of him because he spent much of his time helping others, his death is a great blow to the community
He lost his battle with depression
Rest In Peace Frankie, we will never forget you.

He was so friendly and helpful. Rest in peace.
Wow, this is extremely sad. What a loss, he'll be remembered.
Frankie helped me on numerous occasions, almost every time I opened IRC I saw him helping someone in chat.
The world is worse off without him. Rest in Peace Frankie.
Extremely sad. Every time I saw GreenJello on IRC he was helping people while being kind, considerate, and genuine.
RIP GreenJello :(
RIP GreenJello. It is tough you got to this place. Wherever you are, I hope it is peaceful. You inspired me to keep going in the dark moments of IRC and I'll never forget it, or you.
Gone too soon! I'm feeling so sad about it!
The last time I spoke to GreenJello over DM was in July 2021.
We have lost a gem :(
Can't believe it. I've been away from ##javascript for too long
RIP GreenJello :(
Rest In Peace dear GreenJello :'(
RIP
RIP
What an amazing person GreenJello was I can't believe this. I thought GreenJello was an older person I had no idea he was so young. There was so many interesting discussions over the years. The channel was absolutely honored by his presence.
I know when I was learning to code, he made me better, always taking the time to explain things.
Don't know what else to say this just doesn't make sense.
Just went on irc to ask a question after not logging in for some months and saw the note re: GreenJello, holy fuck. I never met or knew him but he helped me numerous times throughout the past years when I'd show up to #javascript and ask questions. Totally selfless person to spend time helping people like that.
The past two years were shit and it affected so many people and this just really reminded me how fragile mental health can be.
Rest in Peace Frankie.
I read the topic of #reactjs just few minutes ago and only because I was disconnected and then reconnected back. And then I'm reading this...
Can't believe this...
It feels like I was talking to him just a month ago or so... but time runs so fast.
It's so so fucking sad.
I didn't know he was so young. I'm 45.
He has been helping those like me for years.
He was kind and very helpful for me personally. He was my mentor. One of a few who I really trusted and loved.
Rest in Peace man, I'm missing you... fuck...
May there be a good afterlife, for you!
The journey of learning react⚛️js can be brutal.
You were the giant who carried all of us on your shoulders.
You were everyone's secret uodɐǝʍ.
You were the absolute best of us.
Thank you.
I'm very sorry to hear this.
Ugh this is awful. Years ago when I was learning React I would ask questions on IRC and he would always answer and help me. I had no idea he was so young.
This is awful. He helped me out so much, not sure what else to say. Rest In Peace and thank you.
thank you GreenJello. You will be remembered! Rest In Peace
I still don't want to believe this. I am in denial. I miss you, GreenJello.
Oh man, RIP Frankie 🙏
I don't recall meeting GreenJello but it sounds like he was a really great guy. I have friends who struggle with depression (and I'm familiar with it too). Its the way in which he went that really gets to me.
Damn, man... If only places there to help with mental health actually helped.
Just logged on to server after almost 20 months; I am shocked!
RIP GreenJello.
I had no idea he was young. He was knowledgeable and capable. He helped a lot of people, including me, multiple times. Such a great loss.
You helped me quite sometimes. RIP
RIP GreenJello <3
Rip GreenJello <3
It's so strange he didn't know how much we all appreciated him.
RIP :(
