Randy Gonzalez, best known as one half of the TikTok duo Enkyboys, has died at age 35 after a cancer battle.
Gonzalez, who rose to fame posting hilarious lip-syncing videos with his son, died from Stage 4 colon cancer on Wednesday, while in hospice care, according to TMZ.
The TikTok star and his 7-year-old son Brice amassed 15 million followers on TikTok.
The late 35-year-old revealed he had Stage 4 colon cancer last April and said he had been diagnosed six months prior.
The social media star said he was given two to three years to live, but doctors told him that chemotherapy treatment could extend his life for five more years.
Gonzalez created a GoFundMe to help pay for treatments after claiming he was denied care at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center because they did not accept his insurance.
