Minecraft YouTuber Technoblade Dies, Aged 23 - IGN

Minecraft YouTuber Technoblade has died following a battle with stage four cancer. Alex, a 23-year old YouTuber, lost his battle with stage four lung cancer.

A touching farewell video was uploaded in which Technoblade's father read a farewell message from the YouTuber, which thanked fans for their continued support over the nine years he created content.

His message stated that if he had another hundred lives, he would choose to be Technoblade once again because those were the best years of my life. "I hope you guys enjoyed my content, and that you found some humor in it. I hope you all live long, prosper, and happy lives because I love you guys. Technoblade out

Known for being quite 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 that Technoblade had died within hours of writing the message.

His mother also sent a written message to the end of the video. It said that Technoblade had avoided celebrity and worked hard to keep his true identity secret. We ask that you honor his wishes to protect his privacy as well as his family's privacy.

"My son was brave on this path and a shining lesson for all of us who were privileged, to walk it together." We are grateful that you shared his journey with us, as he did the work that he loved for his beloved fans.
