Jon the Bunny
If you used Spacehey from 2022-late 2025, then you might have known Jon, the bunny guy:
He called himself "Spachey's Unofficial Grandpa". But to everyone, he was the Official grandpa.
Jon was a retired chef in his 60s. And a self-proclaimed "pothead", trying new cannabis flavors and products then reporting on them. He spoke in detail about his arthritis and hip problems, so I'm sure there was a correlation. Jon also had a new bunny tattoo that we all got to see! His fascination with bunnies came from a childhood nickname; bunny rabbit.
In his bulletins, Jon talked extensively about his mother, who's in her 90's. It was obvious that he loved her and took care of her along with his siblings.
Jon also made it a point to wish people a happy birthday when he could. Sometimes it was a "Happy Birthday" sometimes it was a "Joyous Natal Anniversary."
Jon passed away in January 2026.
It's been confirmed and I looked it up and confirmed it myself.
I was on the site on and off this year and felt that it was weird that his daily bulletins weren't showing up as usual. I was in denial for a while, and even messaged him telling him that he should come back and give an update if he can. He was active daily for four years.
One time in a bulletin I talked about potentially being a sugar baby for a cheap man (my posts were all crass like this, long story), and he said that I'm being "undervalued" and to "milk the guy for everything he's got". It was so funny coming from a wholesome guy with a bunny profile picture.
"What do you know about sugar babies, Jon!?" I replied sarcastically.
Then he revealed that he is not innocent and is indeed a grown man with grown man experiences.
It's weird. I didn't know him. But I knew his presence. Everyone did. If you go to his wall, you can see that so many people were worried when he went quiet.
I thought it odd that people would cry over a grandpa that wasn't theirs, but once I got over the initial denial phase, I had my moment as well.
I'm aware that we don't know who he was in real life, but from our point of view, he was good. I miss him. This internet stranger. He influenced people to keep going all the time. The only influencer I liked.
I was very stressed in November. I made a very emotional blog post about it, and despite me turning off the blog comments to avoid unsolicited advice, he still commented on my profile:
This was his last interaction with me. I feel like I missed an opportunity to say thank you to him.
I can't go back on that site. I have this involuntary wave of sadness when i see the interface. If you can't tell, I have been lucky enough to not experience much loss up till now. Greif gives me a pit in my stomach.
This just goes to show that just being there for people will cause a community to gather around you. Some people might forget him, and that's okay. But I will never forget him.
