JewWario

Justin Carmical † (April 11, 1971 – January 23, 2014 [aged 42]), better known online as JewWario, was an American YouTuber affiliated with Channel Awesome who uploaded gaming videos.
Justin was best known for his review series You Can Play This!, which focused on Japanese import games which, as the title of the show suggests, can be played by people who can't speak Japanese. Justin reviewed the games and gave the audience hints how to play successfully. He also had a regular live stream every Friday on which he often had producers from TGWTG as guests as well as PatTheNESPunk.
Justin committed suicide in January 2014, which led to several tributes from fans, friends, Channel Awesome colleagues, and others. His reputation was tarnished in April 2018 after he was posthumously revealed to have been a sexual deviant, amid a wider controversy surrounding Channel Awesome as a whole.
==Career==
Justin achieved fame for his series You Can Play This!. The series focused on Japanese import games which, as the title of the show suggests, can be played by people who can't speak Japanese. Justin reviewed the games and gave the audience hints how to play successfully. He also had a regular live stream every Friday on which he often had producers from Channel Awesome as guests as well as PatTheNESPunk.
Justin left Channel Awesome around February 15, 2013. The reasoning for his departure remained unknown until the Change The Channel controversy in 2018. He continued to make content for YouTube and his own site. Around then he would also do cooking videos of mostly Asian cuisine (You Can Cook This), and had cited in one of his livestreams that both he and the staff of Channel Awesome agreed that the viewers of Channel Awesome were not the target audience for this. He also produced shows on barcode scanning games (Scan This!) and import gaming news segments (The Pipeline). He then joined up with Retroware.TV meaning he was once again colleagues with Pushing Up Roses.
==Death==
On January 23, 2014, Justin's wife announced on Facebook that he had taken his life by shooting himself with a shotgun. She wrote that he had locked himself in the bathroom, as well as a heartfelt “thank you” to fans for supporting him and his videos. His wife's statement said:
It is with a very sad heart that I must confirm my husband, Justin Carmical, sometimes known as the Jew Wario died on Thursday, January 23rd.
I also have to confirm he shot himself, but he was not alone, he locked himself in the bathroom and I was on the other side of the door talking with him. He knew I loved him, HE KNEW ALL OF YOU LOVED HIM. You all made him so happy, every time he was recognized from his videos, it made him giddy with joy.
His last recording was a song with Johnathan Mann, I don't know if Johnathan knows. He recorded it the night before.
I am surrounded by family and friends, and am taking this one moment at a time, remembering to breathe. I want to share with you what the Chaplain said to me, it was a momentary mistake, hold on to the good memories. I will post an update once a decision has been made about funeral arrangements.
If I need anything I will let you know, just hold on to each other and love each other, and thank you all so much for loving him so much.
Former or current reviewers on Channel Awesome paid their respects, as well as fellow YouTubers and fans. One of his last projects, Farewell, FamiKamen Rider, was completed by MarzGurl as a tribute. TheSpoonyOne currently owns Justin’s hat.
