| + | RICK MAYS IS A BIG DUMB DUMB WHO DID NOTHING THE END |
| − | {{Quotation|'''TF2 Official Website''', posted May 4, 2020 |Rick May, the inimitable voice of the Soldier for thirteen years, many shorts and countless updates, passed away this April at age 79. We were lucky enough to work with Rick many times in the studio over the past decade. A quick-witted and kind-hearted collaborator, Rick endowed the character with a trademark bellow and bootfulls of idiotic charm. The Soldier wouldn’t be the Soldier without him.}}
