I don't have any games to contribute right now, so I'd like to help out in another way:

I'm not even sure if many people are aware I started doing this, but I'm hoping it's been helpful to a least a few!

Oh damn... He was definitely one of the good ones here, always kind and supportive.

I'm shocked. I might have not had a lot of contact with him ,but when I had, he had been always nice.
Rest in peace.

Damn it. I was just hoping it was some situation that kept him away from the computer or something. Also thinking of sending him a beep on chat or something.
But this is worse than anything. Icaio is gone, he'll be missed. I know because I'll miss him.
I'll not remove him from my whitelist of friend list so I can, from time to time, see his name and remember him again.

Oh no, I had wondered where his usual posts where during the last few weeks but I assumed he was just taking some time off SG, I never thought he could have actually died.
It's really sad to hear these news, he was always so friendly and willing to have a conversation with anyone who engaged him here, I'm certainly going to miss him.
I often try not to think about this subject but the fact that when people online go missing for a while there's a real possibility of them having passed it's such a disturbing thing, it's like if a friend just suddenly went silent and stopped breathing.

Jesus. That's awful, I don't know what to say. Rest in peace :/

This is hard to read. icaio was one of the nicest souls on this site. I'll miss him dearly.
May he rest in peace.

Thanks for telling us. I hoped that it was just simple break from internet :(

Condoleances, and thoughts goes to his family.
icaio was a pillar of SG community, a funny sommentator and a generous donator, as such he shall be remembered.

Hey all. I am going to start by saying that I do not have any more information than what I am sharing in this post.
EDIT: as it turns out, I do have some more information
ANOTHER EDIT, just a quick update
As some of you know, icaio has not been on SG for a while, and he hasn't logged into his Steam profile either.
I posted on his Steam profile a few weeks ago, just a quick note saying I hoped he was okay.
Yesterday I received a friend request on Steam from someone I did not recognize. I didn't see any obvious red flags, so I accepted.
This new friend sent me a message today, saying that they were icaio's cousin, and they saw my post on his profile and wanted to let me know that icaio passed away on September 30.

I don't think it's a stretch to say that icaio was an absolute legend of Steamgifts. His generosity, sense of humor and thoughtfulness came through in every 'showerthinking' post and every 'trash' game giveaway and every time he helped to solve a derailment in the community train.
Before I visited Rome a few years ago, caio volunteered to give me his mobile number so I could ask him real-time questions while I was in Italy. And that's exactly what I did! So we didn't quite get a chance to actually meet in person, but it was fun to chat with him while we were in the same country.
Not much more to say right now. Just R.I.P. to icaio, he will always be a Steamgifts legend.
