Lavernius Tucker is the last one. The last surviving member of Blue Team.
Church? Killed himself believing he couldn't be killed, while Tucker was thousands of miles away. Tex? Died in a plane crash that was directly caused by him having a child. Kaikaina? Who the hell knows, she hasn't been seen in over five years since she decided to stay at a base with no food or water. Washington? Succumbed to his injuries while Locus, the newly reformed merc, was held up by security at the hospital he tried to get him to.
And Caboose? Killed while saving someone who betrayed him, all because some whiney bitch with a god complex wanted to prove a point. That's when he snapped. He was so filled to the brim with distraught and grief and rage that when Donut gives him the opportunity to go back in time - to bring them all back - he did not hesitate. Why, you may ask?
Because with the death of a martyr comes the birth of a villain.
The Death of a Martyr - a Red vs Blue fan comic by Víðarr/AgentMaineApologist

has anyone ever brought up the blood gulch crews complete disregard for the ship of theseus situation? you know, reagrading the alpha!church and epsilon!church situation
like sure, they are complete morons and also have probably never herad of this theory in their life (except simmons maybe). but even if they don’t have a name for the concept or anything... it just is not a thing to them.
the simplified main question of the theory is: if you over time replace every part of a ship, is it still the same ship? and then the follow up question: if you use the replaced parts to rebuild the ship over time someweher else, do you have the same ship twice?
the same argument basically comes up in sci-fic in regards of clones or someone backing up their memory somewhere.
but then you have the vlood gulch crew who just completelly ignores this paradox, the implications of this thought experiment.
and like the fascinating thing is that they are completely, 100% aware of the situation. they absolutelly know the guy from blood gulch is the alpha ai. who got deleted by the end of seson 6 when he went with wash to trigger the emp e.m.p.
they know the new guy is the epsilon a.i. who is the memory of the original church. and is besically just remembering himself. they are totally aware of the destinction. no confusion there. and yet its just. churuch.
its not even that they reach some kind of subconscious consensus on this or anything. they just straight up are like: oh yeah, epsilon is also church.
like no thought whatsoever. zero. head empty.
(and i think the exchange between tucker and dylan in season 15 hammers this home.
Caboose: I miss church.
Dylan: you mean the epsilon a.i
Tucker: no, he means church.)
they know the difference. they just don’t differenentiate at all.
they are so simple in that regard that at no point do any of the implications of the ship of theseus ever occurs to them. they are just like, oh that before was the alpha a.i and now its the epsilon a.i. anyway, thats church, always a total jerk.
anyway im sure they would have many, many philosopers despair with how astoundingly simple they are
