May his memory be a blessing.
x 1 million.
Man thatās terrible. I didnāt know him like some of you guys did but i truly enjoyed his wit and comedy. Rest in Peace. Cancer sucks
A great dude! Really enjoyed every interaction I had with him. Iām really bummed about this. I know he went to UVA recently for an experimental procedure. Geez.
Rest in Peace!! Weāll be thinking of you.
Broken-hearted to hear this awful news. Phony is leaving a big, big hole in our community of Wahoo fanatics.
Terrible news. Chris was a great Wahoo. Iāll miss his wit and wisdom a lot. RIP, Phony.
I second this motionā¦Orange unis for a cancer fundraiser!
Someone else retweeted this earlier. I think Phony encapsulated what all of us thought that night

Aww shit. RIP Phony. Godspeed to your family.
yes, genuinely a good dude. I had a little hospital stay last year, while he was going through it and he called me a few timesā¦just to check on me. I kept telling him, Iām not going through anything compared to youā¦but he was just that type of guy. Iām going to miss those calls.
so very sad to hear this⦠sending love to his family & loved onesā¦
Love this idea. I doubt Nike would say no. They have more than two jerseys for countless teams and with the charity behind it, itās a no brainer in my opinion.
Would be an awesome sight to see the Hoos in orange uniforms and JPJ having a black-out with I am Phony Bennett shirts.
I donāt have the connections or pull to make that happen but happy to help in any way I can.
so sad to hear the news. Sending love and light to his family and friendsā¦
Titus with a really nice shoutout to Chris at 1hr 11mins mark in this episode.
Itās really incredible the reach Phony had. For a random fan on twitter to have become so popular and beloved that heās being recognized by all these coaches and national media personalities. Even the posts from the official UVA accounts and quotes from Bennettā¦I canāt imagine thereās ever been a comparable figure to Phony to garner that type of reaction.
Is there any way to make a compilation of some of his best tweets? A Phony Bennett coffee table book with permission from the family?
That would be really cool
