“We, the family of Technoblade, wanted to let you all know how much he revered and respected his fans and colleagues.
Since Technoblade’s early online days, he continually found ways to delight and reward his audience – from hosting online giveaways, encouraging good sportsmanship, and above all sharing his Minecraft adventures for entertainment and laughter. Even after his successes, he managed to maintain his good-natured humility and competed with a lovable balance of confidence and self-deprecating wit. He avoided personal fame and worked hard to keep his true identity a secret, and we ask you to continue respecting his wishes for the protection of his privacy and that of his family.
The past year has been very tough for our son as he fought stage four cancer. But he did not give up and used his famous strategic mind to battle what he knew was almost impossible. My son’s bravery on this path was a shining lesson for all of us who had the privilege of walking this path with him. Thank you for sharing his journey through all of this with us while he did the work he loved for his beloved fans.”
