Technoblade, a YouTuber on Minecraft has passed away at the age of 23. His family shared an emotional video of his funeral on behalf of him.

The video, titled "solong nerds", was posted to his 10 million followers and showed his father saying that he was "the most amazing kid anyone could ever wish for".

The US internet star gained fame by streaming live and uploading videos of his playing the videogame sandbox.

Last year, Technoblade revealed to fans that he was diagnosed with cancer.

The father of his son read his farewell message hours before his death. It began with "Hello everyone, Technoblade here." If you're watching this. I am dead."

He then revealed that his real name was Alex. He recalled the moment he tricked viewers into believing his name to be Dave.

He said, "Thank you all so much for supporting my work over the years," he added. "If I had another hundred years to live, I think I would prefer to be Technoblade over and over again because those were the most joyful years of my life."

The online star who took home Minecraft tournaments and had thousands of fans talking about his funny antics while playing the game, revealed in a February video for fundraising that he received chemotherapy, radiation therapy and a limb rescue operation after he developed a painful tumor.

Sarcoma, a rare type of bone and soft tissue cancer, was the cause of his death.

In August 2021, he announced his diagnosis of cancer. He explained that he initially believed that the pain that he was experiencing was due to an injury sustained due to playing too much. He was diagnosed with cancer after his arm began to swell.

It is not known much about Technoblade who kept his real identity secret until the very end. His online avatar was a photograph of an crowned pig.
