Kitty0706
Colin Charles "Elliot" Wyckoff (July 6, 1994 – January 25, 2015 [aged 20]), better known online as Kitty0706 or SirEliott24, was an American self-described cartoonist, voice actor, video creator, gamer, and animator born in Lakewood, New Jersey. He made machinimas focused on video games, most famous of them being the ones made with the sandbox game known as Garry's Mod.

The creation of the account
On April 14, 2007, Wyckoff and his older brother created the Kitty0706 account in order to bypass the age-restricted videos, but the account was never intended to have videos. However On September 14, 2007 Wyckoff uploaded his first YouTube video. "True Crime: Criminal Justice: Part 1". His first Garry's Mod video and "G-mod Poop: G-man vs Barney Part 1" was uploaded on august 4, 2008. Like most YouTubers when starting to make videos, the videos and his channel didn't gain much attention, but Wyckoff continued to upload.

Rise To Popularity
On March 26, 2009, Wyckoff Uploaded "Left 4 Farts" 4 months after the first Left 4 Dead came out. The video became very popular and rose him to fame. While he was rising in fame, Wyckoff started a series called "Team Fortress 2: Moments With Heavy" with the first episode coming out in March of 2009. The series follows around the Team Fortress 2 character "Heavy" and going around having random misadventures. It is one of two Wyckoff's famous machinimas, with the other being "Elliot Goes To School" in which this series follows himself as his gmod character (nicknamed Elliot) as he goes through his sophomore year in high school while dealing with his obnoxious friends and annoying teachers. The first episode was uploaded in September of 2009. From hear many of his videos would gain anywhere from 1 million views to 2 million views and sometimes more then that. On February 23, 2012, Wyckoff would upload the machinima "Team Fabulous 2". It was about exaggerated shenanigans of what a regular Team Fortress 2 server is like when suddenly an Engineer opens up a portal in the server that leads to another dimension, and several video game engines. The Engineer must deal with a demon named Spunky that came from the dimension, who manages to turn all the players against the Engineer. Eventually, the Engineer closes the portal back up, sending Spunky back to where he came from and saving the server. Everything goes back to normal, and everyone celebrates by attending the Engineer's guitar lesson. The video ends with Heavy trying to learn from the Engineer, and after messing up, he suddenly starts to play the acoustic version of "Another Song About the Weekend" by the band "A Day to Remember " while the credits roll. The video is by far his most popular video, with it gaining 28 million views as of 2023 and according to the "2017 Guinness book of world records: gaming edition", it states that it is the "most viewed Team Fortress 2 machinima."

Cancer diagnosis and death
On May 9, 2012, 3 months after the release of "Team Fabulous 2", Wyckoff announced that he had been diagnose with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (A.L.L.), a form of blood cancer. He explained this in his video "KittyTV Presents: THE CHRONICLES OF DICK", where he had an abdominal pain that wouldn't go away and got worse over time. After going to the school nurse, the nurse convinced him and his parents to see a doctor. After taking a blood test, he had to immediately go back to the doctor as they found that his white blood cell count was so high that he was lucky to be alive. He was then diagnosed with A.L.L and was subsequently transported to a hospital for treatment. His cancer went into remission soon after, but sometime before November 2013, he suffered a relapse. On December 24, 2013, Wyckoff released news of him receiving a bone marrow transplant a month earlier and said that he was 100% cancer-free. Unfortunately, he suffered a third relapse after forgetting to take his medication, and was diagnosed again on January 23, 2015. It was terminal, and the only thing he could do was slow it down with more medications. He only lived a little over a day. Wyckoff died on January 25, 2015. He was 20 years old. After his passing, grief ensued upon his friends and family. Several tribute videos were made about him after his death. Some reflecting on their experiences and relationships with him, others giving condolences to his loved ones and gratitude to Colin himself. Later that year, he was cremated. In 2020, a project to remake the Team Fabulous 2 video using the original audio and newly animated segments made by volunteer contributors was started. On July 6, 2020, the video was released alongside a charity drive to raise money for leukemia research. The project was called "Team Fabulous 2 reanimated" and was uploaded on July 6, 2020 on what would have been Wyckoff's 26th birthday.
