Found this out through Twitter, rushed to get my word in. I frequently talked to lewa even before he became one of the strongest players of his time. I’ll never forget the fun times we had together. Rest in peace man, I enjoyed every minute of your company.

RIP i hope he found a better place. Mul on teelehtii kupis...
I still remember the time when I was starting to play osu and I heard someone from Finland was the world #1 player. My reaction was just purely "woah.." since this country doesn't have too high of a population. May you rest in peace Lewa, you are the true legend.

Sorry for asking
What was the cause of his death?
RIP Thelewa.
Though I wasn’t here when he was #1 in his prime, I still have known since 2016 his amazing scores which astounded me. So sad to know he is not with us, I hope everything is fine for his family.

Once I thought that whoever you are, you will die. Even some of the best players will...
Rest in peace. I still hope this is a joke.

This hurts so much. When I joined, he had barely stopped playing for a while, but I watched so many videos and watched so many of his plays. He was the accuracy god for the meta before Bikko. I've read so many of his forum posts, and genuinely appreciated them.
Rest in Peace theLewa.

Omg I can't believe it I have tears, rest in peace thelewa
How?????
F
rest in peace.😢
rest in peace.😢
I've been playing for less than a year and I've never even seen him, but hearing about him from time to time, about how good he was and that he was able to do it all trough hard work and not talent always made me smile and try harder. Hearing this, I feel awful. Rest In Piece dude, you not only were, but still are a legend.
RIP
Tovottavasti on paremmassa paikassa

It is sad when we hear another notable player pass away. Rest in peace thelewa. You're a known legend for many people around the community.
oh...
rest in peace..

They say that people die when they are forgotten. If so, thelewa is immortal.
May he rest in peace.

Rest in peace dude, you will be missed by many.
Although we haven't conversed much apart from your few streams half a year or so ago, you were a really nice and funny person.
Rest in peace, you'll be missed.

Rest in Peace Leevi. Even though I didn't know you (Aside from the occasional shit going on at #finnish), I still respected you hugely.
Even though you already watched over at your followers as the deity of thelewaism, you surely have earned your place among the stars looking down here at your followers and their fellow circle clickers.

I remember watching almost every stream Lewa did back in 2013-2014. He was one of the most entertaining osu! streamers back then. He was really a funny guy, and his stream was a place you could come and just feel welcomed. Even though I never got the chance to talk to him, and tell him all of this, I really hope he knew what his stream and him as a person ment to the osu!community. I also wish he could've seen all of these messages being written about him, he would've deserved to know. It's sad and unfair that this has to happen at such a young age, but I hope he is happy now. Thanks for everything you did for us, and also for the osu! game.
Rest in peace, Leevi. <3
Rest in peace, Leevi. <3
RIP thelewa, you will always be remembered not only for clicking circles but for who you were.
I'm not gonna say anything really innovative, the others covered pretty much everything. thelewa has always been my favorite accuracy player, it's because of him that I am so hard on myself when my accuracy drops below 99%. His streams were always entertaining to watch and his ask.fm was always fun to read. I remember how happy he was when he briefly became #1 back in 2014. It actually blows my mind that some people don't know who he is. For me, he will always be an osu legend, one of my idols in the game, an amazing player and a genuinely funny person.
He is definitely in a better place, but it's still heartbreaking that he is not here with us.

I have now updated the first post. Dont read it if you dont want to cry...
Thank you for telling us. It must have been very rough for him. Hope he is in peace now.
I never spoke with Leevi personally, but he's a big part of who I am right now, thank you Leevi, I will never forget you.
Rest in peace my friend. Last time I saw you "irl" it was July 22 2017.
We had a great time going to the horse race track car meeting and flee market in Tampere.
Thanks for the hospitality and great fun. And thank you for playing.
I hope your family, friends and other people that loved you will be able to process the loss.

Gone but not forgotten...

I haven't talked to him a lot, but knowing what influence he had on this community, how many people have looked up to him as a person and as a player it's really hard to take these kind of news and it's devastating to see him go this early..
Rest in peace, Leevi
Your legacy will keep on living

It's deeply saddening to read what happened to thelewa. I wasn't anybody back when he was active but even in my early days of playing osu I knew of him and many of his incredible plays. He always seemed like a fun loving guy and someone who cared deeply about both the game and its community. This is a devastating loss; may he rest in peace.
thelewa was someone who i'd love to have gotten to meet
his personality which i loved, his skill and achievements made him an idol to me and he definitely has influenced me at least a little bit.
sad to see him go, i wish i was around back then to watch his streams.
rest in peace thelewa, it's wrong that you died so soon.

May you rest in peace Leevi, you were one of the greatest inspirations I had when I was actively playing for rankings and leaderboards, even though we never had a conversation, your advices from your ask.fm and your messages made me improve a lot and helped me become the player I always wanted to be, thanks for everything and I hope you rest in peace. ❤
If you need it, my "goodbye" message to Leevi is on my userpage, even though he never knew me & I never knew him on a personal level. It's still a shocker to hear this kind of news though. Rest in peace, thanks for serving as an early inspiration.
Leevi oli hieno mies. Miksi niin monen hyvän tyypin pitää kuolla aikasin?
Lepää rauhassa.
Lepää rauhassa.
I'll never forget the fun times we shared. Hang loose, old friend.
thelewa was one of the things that kept by day going bright and in high-spirits. I would take part watching his streams in a period where my own mental health was terrible and that by itself was just so cheerful to the point where I would almost every time forget about my own problems. Fast forward and I had someone who I'd sporadically talk to and he was a gem. He could get along with essentially anyone and everyone regardless of how good or bad in the context of the game the person was. He was having fun and didn't mind sharing a good chunk of that fun with other people.
I am heartbroken that this was the end, but I am thankful for all the great moments involving him. Take his healthy period and you have a role model for anyone who strive to become something in this game or simply who wants to be a great friend.
I hope his family does well and is proud of how amazing of a person he was. Let this guy be eternal

Rest in peace thelewa. You were a true legend.
Rest in peace, Lewa. I'm sure you have inspired many players in osu! The memories of him will surely stay in the osu community for years to come. Condolences to the family
lewa was a huge inspiration to me. His streams were so much fun to watch and his ask.fm page was always a great read. I never talked to him personally, a few words in #finnish is all we exchanged, but he seemed like, and was a great person all around.
Lepää rauhassa Leevi, kevyet mullat.

Absolutely heartbreaking to read, I really enjoyed watching his streams years ago and they motivated me to play this game more
I hope he rests in peace and is in a better place now.

I didn't play this game when he was around but I will definitely remember him as one of the best players to touch this game.
Best wishes to his family, stay strong.

I wasnt around when leevi was an active player but what happened to him shocked me anyways,he had an unique skillset and some of his scores can hardly be replicated by top 50 players,also looked like a cool guy and it was,is and will be an inspiration to the whole osu community. While it is true that he isn't anymore with us,his legacy will be always with us.
Rest In Peace Leevi

He was an incredibly friendly guy. I'm absolutely saddened at the news.
We love him.
