It saddens me to see the loss of such a positive influence in the designer toy world. Iāll never forget what you did for me & our fun conversations.šRest in peace my friend! ā¦ā¦ā¦Yesterdayās repost from @lulubell_toys ā¢ The world lost a legend today. š¹ With heavy heart I share that Connell Ray Little (@phuntsy) left our world early this morning peacefully in his sleep, surrounded by friends. He was 81 years young. ********************************Thank you to everyone who shared a photo, memory or left a comment for #phuntsyridesforever The sheer amount of love was surely a highlight in Connellās final days. He was truly touched and grateful for everyone heād come to meet in this world. Immense gratitude to @dollar_slice_bootlegs @iron_paw @uhohtoys @clearwithguts for driving out from California to join their beloved friend on his final journey. Your friendships and commpassion were a beautiful and inspiring thing to witness. I appreciate the moral support on this journey as well. You guys are all amazing humans. Thank you so much to @manic_1mag3s for being here to support Connell in his final days as well as tremendous personal hand holding throughout. To witness Robert capturing Connell so beautifully in one final shoot is a memory I will always treasure. Connell had very little energy that day, but sprang into life for the camera. Robert shot no more than 6 photos I believe, the entire scene was amazing to witness. Iāll let Robert share that story when heās ready. Thank you @thedevilskaiju for being my rock, sleepover buddy, Mr. Mom, and therapist all in one. David and Connell shared many sofubi laughs over the last couple weeks that we will always treasure. And to @mydogeatspecans , thank you and @pricklynopales for being such guiding lights during such a difficult time. You brought so much grace and comfort to not only Connell but us all. All of these people and more were Connellās family. He truly loved this community, thank you to all for being such a part of his life. Thank you @phuntsy for all you gave to all of ours. No one will ever fill those maroon velvet sneakers of yours. Until you ride again š«¶š» #phuntsyridesforever #rip #spaceknightconnell https://www.instagram.com/p/CnE8MzRr1TZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
