I remember watching The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog a few times. I always loved Tails. He'll be missed.

Yeah he is one of the best Tails voices ever. This was very sad and surprising news to hear. He will be missed, especially in the Sonic the Hedgehog community.

One of my favorite Sonic cartoons.

Apparently, according to SEGAbits, the Christopher Welch that voiced Tails was different, I still do mourn Christopher Evan Welch and I did remember watching some of his tv appearances, and he did have a very nice disposition and was multi-talented, but it seems AOSTH Tails wasn't one of his roles after all.
