Lo que tienen ante ustedes es un tributo que rinden jugadores de todo el mundo de Destiny a Joshua R. Stokell, quien fuera un investigador con grado académico en biología y también jugador de Destiny. Joshua falleció el pasado 8 de Junio como resultado de luchar contra una fibrosis cystica.
Joshua pertenecía a un clan de Destiny llamado Dads of Destiny, quienes tras su fallecimiento pidieron por medio de reddit que quienes quisieran mandaran sus videos en el que se despedían o rendían honores al guardián que en la red era conocido como TheSquashPhD.
