Technoblade, a youtuber from Minecraft, has died after a battle with stage four cancer. The 23-year-old, whose name is Alex, had more than 10.8 million followers on his channel.
An emotional farewell video was uploaded in which Technoblade’s father read a farewell message from YouTuber, thanking fans for their continued support during the nine years he created content.
“If I had a hundred more lives, I think I would choose to be Technoblade again and again, as those were the happiest years of my life,” he read his post. “I hope you enjoyed my content and made some of you laugh, and I hope you all continue to live long, prosperous and happy lives, because I love you. Technoblade out.”
“If I had a hundred more lives, I think I would choose to be Technoblade again and again, as those were the happiest years of my life.”

Known for being fairly private, Technoblade only revealed his real name in the farewell message, but shared last year that he had been diagnosed with cancer in his right arm. His father explained in the video that Technoblade died a few hours after writing the message.
Her mother also shared a written message at the end of the video. “[Technoblade] he avoided personal fame and worked hard to keep his true identity confidential, and we ask that you continue to honor his wishes to protect his privacy and that of his family, ”he said.
“My son’s courage on this journey was a brilliant lesson for all of us who had the privilege of walking with him. Thank you for sharing your journey through all of this, as he did the job he loved for the your dear fans “.
