Tetris Champ Jonas Neubauer Dies Suddenly @ 39
Also see my more recent post from 2024 on Jonas Neubauer following the introduction of the Jonas Neubauer Cup for DAS Tetris players.
Only a small handful of video games have survived my teens and 20’s and still get played in my 30’s. Tetris is one of those games I still throw on once in a while (NES personal best: 392,469).
As a YouTube user, it was impossible not to learn about the Classic Tetris World Championships, which was dominated by Jonas Neubauer up until recent years. Today, we woke up to news that he suddenly passed away, having no known health issues:
Jonas died on 1/4/2021.
Wikipedia lists his date of death as January 5th, which is 104 days before his birthday.
In early February, Tom Brady will be playing for his 7th Super Bowl ring. Jonas, who is wearing an NFL jersey in his Wiki photo, was a 7-time Tetris champion. 7 is the 4th Prime number, and Tetris is a game of 4-block pieces. Jonas died on the 4th day of the year.
Although he collapsed on the 4th, Wikipedia says he died on January 5th, a date with Primary numerology of 47:
47 is the 15th Prime number
Both 1/4 and 1/5 are exactly 105 days (or 15 weeks) before his birthday:
January 5th could be written 1/5/21
1521 is 39 squared
Jonas was 39 years of age
The rest of this post may be disregarded. I had gotten Jonas’s birthday from this bio, which listed it as November 21st. This page had it listed as November 27th, but both appear to be wrong.
Wikipedia has also changed his birthday since I originally made this post. It appears to have been sourced from this Tweet.
“Kill” Code
Jonas was a seven-time champion of the Classic Tetris World Championships, or CTWC.
The word kill sums to 59 and 44.
Tetris is a game of 4-block pieces. His death on the 4th day of the year in Ka’a’awa, Hawaii fell 4 years, 321 days before his 44th birthday.
In Hebrew, kill and murder sum to 46, the English value of sacrifice. Jonas’s death fell on a date with Primary numerology of 46:
The 46th Triangular number is 1081
Jesus Numbers
Jonas appeared to be universally adored by the Tetris community. After watching a few clips of his interviews and streams this morning, it’s clear his positivity had a strong influence on those who looked up to him. As we have come to learn, this type of energy in our world is represented both phonetically and numerically.
Jonas…Jesus…
Jonas Neubauer sums to 146 in Ordinal.
It’s believed that Jesus was crucified in 33 A.D.
Neubauer’s YouTube channel was JonasTeh81.
January 4th was 29 days after this year’s CTWC Finals, which Jonas missed by one round:
The second coming of Christ is mentioned 318 times in the New Testament. The 318th Prime number is 2111, like Jonas’s 21/11 birthday.
He died on January 4th.
Perhaps the most famous Bible verse about Jesus is John 3:16:
Jonas was 3016 days old when Tetris was released in EU (the only confirmed NES release date available). He then died 316 days after the anniversary of that same date:
Tetris was released in America in November of ’89, or 11/89. There are 1189 chapters in the Bible.
Tetris’s EU release date of 2/23/90 represents 2239, which is the 333rd Prime number.
