I am stuck between being thankful i got to make these memories with Donovan and upset that we won't be able to make any more. He was a truly special and inspiring person who lived his life to the fullest. If you guys could fill these comments with kind words/thoughts/memories about him I would really appreciate that. Long live Donovan Crip daddy Castillo!!! Whoop whoop!!
Hey, I'm Mom lol and I just watched this today. I had lots of laughs throughout the video and a few cries. thank you so much for putting this out there. He called me a few times during the festival and he was having so much fun. I just wanted to drop a thank you💚
I’m sorry for your loss. But you did it right. What an inspiration and incredible soul and human Donovan was! It’s just oozing out in this video how special he was. If everyone had that type of care and compassion and understanding and patience the world would be a better place. May he RIP!
I'm sorry for your loss. But it must feel good that you will have this memory forever, and at least a small piece of his legacy will live on forever on the internet.
I'm just glad I got to see a someone I knew a LONG time a go give him a "lap" dance. RIP Donovan. Brandon like always doing the upmost to lift someone up. Much love man. Keep up the good content Brandon! :D
WHOOP WHOOP Brandon!! Glad to be a part of Donovan's dream and have him HIT MY PIPE! Thanks for this and for bringing Donovan to the Gathering. MWMFWCL Homie! ...and that bro was champ at baggin letts, I saw one!
I first met Juggalos as an embedded journalist at Occupy Berkeley and, while they seem crazy, they were the kindest and caring people I ever met. Some hipster "anarchist" guy tried to run up on me while I was doing an interview and three Juggalo homies pounced on him. When the fake-anarchists raided the camp and tried to retaliate later that week, a couple Juggalos protected my tent and equipment because I always talked to them with compassion and curiosity (Why Faygo? What was the root of the Eminem beef? What is the Dark Carnival?), shared my weed with them and never snitched on them to the boomer-hippies who tried to control the camp.
Faygo is Pop from here in Detroit and is awesome and has so many flavors. Eminem looked up to ICP and they were already pretty big doing their thing and Eminem was just getting started out he put ICPs name on his flyer saying they might appear when he did it without their opinion, he went out to Violent J and showed him the flyer and J said why you put our name on here without permission and tossed it in the air and walked away. The Dark Carnival is what any Juggalo may perceive the Dark Carnival to be, it's different for many.
But you don't understand why "journalists" are not welcome at anarchist demonstrations? You truly come across as a bitch and an idiot. What gentrified propaganda press outlet were you vulturing for?
This is why, even though it's not been my scene in well over a decade, I'll always have a spot in my heart for juggalos. Having been one at one point, still knowing and being friends with several, I can honestly say that there really is something to it all. The first people to help me out when I'm in a bad place? Juggalos. The most ride-or-die friends I have? Juggalos. It's just a level of loyalty and heart that I've never seen from any other fanbase, and most of the time it doesn't have shit to do with the music, it's just mostly normal folks looking out for each other and having fun doing it. Who can hate on that?
RIP Donovan , just from this video it was apparent how much charisma you had. A truly genuine human being that we had to honor of getting to know through this video. Thanks Brandon for producing this banger and giving Donovan this amazing experience.
Brandon, as someone with a what will be a Term illness 1 day, winter is especially a hard time for me as the cold 70° and below causes open wounds on my hands, elbows & toes that sometimes lasts for months causing EXTREME pain to the point of me voluntarily surgically removing 1 of my fingers . I can say you are a genuine & decent human for what you did with Donovan ❤ . Please keep this same energy in your life an continue to uplift people not understood by others it meant more than you know 🫡 -RIP Donovan 🙏 🖕 Mayo Mullen-
I won't appeal to God, but if Donovan has showed us anything it's that our circumstances do not get define us, and even a glimmer of the highs and the human connections that life has to offer is worth it in the end. I hope you find the strength to defy its cruelty until the end man 🫶
From all those jugaloo documentaries, I always have the feeling that they might be some of the coolest, most genuine people around. I would love to attend a gathering one day. Even showing concern when Brandon was being taken back home asking not to record him. I think the word to describe this whole event is, somehow... WHOLESOME.
Donovan was a hilarious and beautiful soul. And still is, he's waiting for us at the final gathering, the great dark carnival in the sky. R.i.p. brother! Woop-wooop! ❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️ 🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜
Brandon, I just came across your channel today and this is the second video I have watched. This was truly beautiful and I want to thank you for what you did for Donovan. It was clear he was having the time of his life and you made that possible for him. RIP Donovan he truly touched my heart and opened my eyes with his quotes at the end. Thank you
I’ve been subbed for a long time now, like pre 20k. This is without a doubt the one video I look forward to more than anything else on TH-cam. Brandon, you’re an awesome dude. Hope one day I get to meet you
This is big screen viewing cuz im getting deja'vu from last year ✨ didnt know it could get better Brandon ! Thanks for sharing Donovan Much Love to this great day
This was so hectic and chaotic that I was not anticipating it ending on such a touching, moving note. It was kinda beautiful to watch two buddies live out a dream and have silly fun together
I have no idea how this ended up on my feed but this was beautiful. Im not a juggalo, no American, had never heard of either of you till 30 minutes ago. Donovan is made me laugh so hard. So witty, and Brandon, you're a good man. Legit.
Outro was so sick. What a great fucking outlook from someone we could never imagine living like. Dude was a king, laughing in the face of adversity every day.
Fucking absolutely hero thing to do. My dream has allways been to get to the gathering. I live in a shithole inside the EU and the costs to get there would be so high. So my plan was to save it up and be there. Then I lost my health and ability to work. My savings went to my health care. So I think I am scuffed, unless I win a lottery or some shit. I am so happy that Donovan got to go.Whoop Whoop!
Donovan was cool, and will be missed by many. Thanks for sharing this very special and beautiful experience you guys shared. I know that sounds weird when we're talking about GOTJ, but there we are, right? Any place that accepts you as you are is a place I want to be. Rest in Faygo, Donovan!
Rest in piece and as a memory in my soul, Donovan. Glad to see you lived your final days by making a wish come true. Even though I dont know you or Brandon, this co-op adventure of you both at the gathering, will be remembered and cherished by us. Farewell Donovan!
LMAO! Bro I hope the Valkyrie's are watching over our homie Big Dig 'Crip Daddy' Donovan in valhalla. Dude has a KILLER sense of humor. Awesome dude! Gone too soon no doubt.
aw this is just the baddest of bad ass badassery that ever was a genuine bad ass..... badass..... aw shit dude, I didn't know. Makes this even badasser that he gets to be berembered by folks all over the world., McLovin with a chair...We had a guy in a chair in our live scene in the 90s. Folks would not only cut a path for him but lift his whole chair up for certain songs, rad, and sad at the same damn time. Guzzling one for Donovan, whoop whoop New Zeal and Love for the clowns....
I am not into icp except for when me and my young kids watch their video miracles and quote hilariously ridiculous lines😂 and laugh about how not cool they are. Tbh every time I see videos about them like this I actually end up really liking them more and more all juggalos including icp. Even if I don’t prefer the music I like the people making Donovan and everyone feel accepted thank you guys. WHOOP WHOOP 🎉😊
I didnt know crip daddy died😢 Rip homie. Saw him first time a bit ago in the jontron video i thought he was juat getting Started and wed get a new legend. I didnt realize it was a last wish kinda thing.. rip dude...

He was the realist one.
The world just isn't the same without him.
Thanks for making his dream come true, Brandon.

Brandon went from Juggalo to Jugga-low, but still managed to rehabilitate. What a strong person. RIP Crip Daddy Castillo!
GHB does that

The Don will live on.
Dude made so many people laugh. So glad he got to live it up as best he could.
