I think I just reached my Peak 2020 moment.

Saw a rainbow outside my back door. It was very pretty, so I decided to take a picture of it and post it on Facebook.

A few of my friends responded and made a reference to the Double Rainbow Guy video...you know, the viral video from about 10 years ago about a guy who is exuberantly happy about seeing a double rainbow.

I thought to myself, "That's nice. I wonder what happened to that wonderfully lovably happy guy?"

And so, I googled it and this is what I found:

Paul Vasquez, the man behind 2010's "Double Rainbow" video and one of the first mainstream viral video stars, has died at age 57.

Known as "Bear" or "Yosemite Bear" to his friends, Vasquez died Saturday afternoon in the emergency room of John C. Fremont Hospital, the Mariposa County Coroner’s Office in California told the Modesto Bee.

On May 3, Vasquez posted on Facebook that he was in ill health, writing that he was experiencing heart problems, his lungs were congested, and he had a fever of 100.2 degrees. On May 5, he wrote that he received a COVID-19 test but told a friend in a comment Friday that it came back negative for the coronavirus.

He indicated that he had been diagnosed with an unspecified serious condition. "It's a long story that ends with me not having Coronavirus but a ticking bomb in my chest that could go off at any moment," he said.

Go fuck yourself, 2020.

Seriously.
