Technoblades, one of the most popular Minecraft video creators on YouTube, has died following a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, according to his family.
He was 23 years old
"If I had another hundred lives, I think I would choose to be Technoblade again every single time, as those were the happiest years of my life," he wrote in a message to his community about 8 hours before he died.
"I hope you guys enjoyed my content and that I made some of you laugh, and I hope you all go on to live long, prosperous and happy lives because I love you guys," Technoblade wrote in his message.
His father read aloud the message in a YouTube video Thursday titled "so long nerds" that has reached millions of people and hit #1 on the trending page.
Technoblades family revealed that his first name was Alex and shared photos of him in the video. His family did not mention his last name and requested that his privacy be protected.
