The YouTube and Minecraft community are mourning the loss of Technoblade who passed away at 23 following a battle with cancer.
In a video titled "So Long Nerds" which was posted to YouTube, Technoblade's dad read a letter that the creator had written to fans prior to his death.
"Hello everyone, Technoblade here. If you're watching this, I am dead" followed by "So let's sit down and have one final chat."
He also revealed that his name was "Alex" which is something he had never revealed on his channel. He continued by saying:
"Thank you all for supporting my content over the years. If I had another 100 lives, I think I would choose to be Technoblade again every single time, as those were the happiest years of my life."
The popular content creator revealed his cancer diagnosis in August 2021 on his YouTube channel.
The video ends with his dad (holding back tears) telling fans that the YouTuber finished writing the letter about eight hours before he passed away.
The video ends with his mom saying "From Technoblade's earliest online days, he was always strategizing ways to delight and reward his audience,".She went on to say "Even after his eventual successes he somehow managed to keep his good-natured humility, competing with an endearing balance between his confidence and self-deprecating wit. He avoided personal fame and worked hard to keep his true identity confidential, and we ask you to honor his wishes to protect his privacy and the privacy of his family."
