As seen in the video in a Twitter post by @JakeSucky, Pavloff made his dad sit down, wanting to give him a surprise gift. Delighted, the dad is surprised to see an envelope that the Overwatch streamer handed him. “I don’t even want to open it” says dad. adding “What the… What?” as he opens the envelope.

If you’ve been following Jay3 for a while, you’ll know of his personal life as well. His mom struggled with ALS, and passed away 11 years ago, on October 9th, 2012. “There was no health insurance. Everything was out of pocket. That put us in a bad spot I guess” said Jay3 while narrating his life to Florida Mayhem.
Not His First Gift to Dad
While this may be his biggest accomplishment according to him, this is definitely not his first big gift to dad. In the middle of 2020, Jake’s dad lost his truck in a car crash, in the middle of 2021. The Overwatch streamer, with the help of his esports community, gifted his dad a brand new Ford truck on the 5th of October, 2020.
His dad later recounted his emotions in the interview with Florida Mayhem – “It was truly amazing that he was able to do that. God bless. The gaming world and him and everybody that follows him. God bless them all”
“It’s been 8 years since my mom passed away and close to 1 year I almost lost my dad to a heart attack. He means the world to me and he’s my biggest supporter.”
“So since he lost his truck in a car crash last month. My AMAZING community, aka family, and I were able to get him this
