\u201cMy good friend @P2istheName has passed away\u2026 wow,\u201d wrote YouTuber COLETHEMAN on X. \u201cI\u2019m honestly at a loss for words. He was always so kind to me and gave me so much content creation advice. May he rest in peace. This breaks my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Podcaster Walter Weekes also memorialized Enewally on X. \u201cRIP To A Real One, we would talk about real estate and content creation behind the scenes! P2isthename!\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

\u201cHe was a super positive, happy dude, really good energy all the time. So it\u2019s really sad that he had passed. So RIP to P2 man\u2026 some prayers are with him and his loved ones and his family,\u201d said @yoxic in a video shared on the platform. <\/p>\n

In a 2020 interview with VoyageLA<\/a>, Enewally said that his competitive spirit is a throwback to his childhood, when he played several sports including basketball and football. \u201cSeeing all this growing up planted a first place \u2018mentality in me. From football, to me starting my clothing line in high school \u2013 it all helped me to find my entrepreneur side,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

YouTube came a little later, after he graduated. \u201cI saved money from the job I worked at, then quit when I had enough money to afford my YouTube equipment. I went to school and did YouTube at the same time glancing both. Then when YouTube started popping off, I eventually dropped out,\u201d Enewally added. <\/p>\n

Enewally\u2019s mother died of breast cancer when he was 12, a loss he said \u201cmolded me as a person.\u201d He was then raised by his dad, a probation officer who emphasized education over everything. His dad didn\u2019t \u201cimmediately\u201d approve of his YouTube career, but eventually came around.<\/p>\n

Enewally was also thoughtful about his skills as a content creator. \u201cI think I specialize in understanding people\u2019s emotions. When I post my videos, I have the ability to turn someone\u2019s day around just from me jumping around screaming, inserting so much energy into the viewer,\u201d he explained. \u201cFilming and editing videos is an art because as an creator, you have the ability to make someone laugh, scare someone, make them think, make them smile, it truly is an exotic feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Philip Enewally was born April 23, 1998, and raised just outside of LA. He attended La Mirada High School for his junior and senior year and told VoyageLA he often visited Cerritos Park East as a kid. He also said the Cerritos Library \u201cis the greatest library in the World.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have all types of memories in this place. Everyday after school waiting for my parents to get off work\u2026 I was here doing homework and watching YouTube videos. This is the place that made me want to be a youtube,\u201d Enewally explained.<\/p>\n
