Earlier today, it was confirmed that actor Lance Reddick had passed away from natural causes at the age of 60, devastating fans across the globe. He was most well known for his roles as officer Cedrick Daniels in The Wire, Charon in John Wick, and Sylens from the Horizon series, but those of you who play Destiny 2 will know him as fan-favorite character Commander Zavala.
Reddick was a huge part of the Destiny 2 community, and many fans and employees at Bungie have been hit hard by his passing. To show just how special Reddick was to the community, many fans of Destiny 2 have begun to gather around Commander Savala in-game to pay tribute to the actor (thanks The Loadout).

As can be seen in the social media posts from both Twitter and Reddit below, many players have taken to simply kneeling around Commander Savala to show their respect. Others have been using hug emotes and symbolic emotes in the form of different animals around him, while one group of players have given the character a wonderful guard of honor. They're amazing tributes to Reddick and a showcase of just how much the actor meant to Destiny 2 fans.
Shortly after news of Reddick's passing, several employees from Bungie came out to pay tribute, including Bungie CEO Pete Parsons who simply tweeted that "we lost a beautiful human being". Bungie as a whole has also released a statement on Twitter, saying that "to say he will be missed is a profound understatement". Rest well, Commander.
