TikTok has brought fame to many people, and one such person was Randy Gonzalez, a 35-year-old father and husband who made the world laugh through his funny lip-sync videos that he would often make with his son. Randy had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and has now passed away, less than a year after he had announced it publicly.
The YouTuber managed to build a family of almost 139,000 subscribers with his entertaining and humorous videos. His children would also be a part of it, making the videos much more fun to watch.

After his tragic death, many actors and other members of the entertainment industry have exchanged their condolences to the family and hope that these hard times get easier for them. Although his wife was not seen as much in every video, she remained by his side throughout the treatment, making this time the hardest for her and her children, who had positive expectations regarding the treatment.

How Randy Gonzalez Passed Away?
Soon after Randy started to grow his account, He started to feel weaker and would often have stomach aches which led the doctors to believe that he could be suffering from some ulcer. It was only when Kimberly forced him to get his colon checked that he found out that he had been suffering from the symptoms of colon cancer.
The tests stated that his disease had already progressed to Stage 4 cancer, making it impossible for him to become cancer free soon. Despite the odds, Randy kept making videos and would talk about his recovery and the effects it had on him. The family stayed by his side at all times. When using his insurance money became difficult because of the law, Randy decided to start a Go Fund Me, which would help the family pay for the medical expenses.
