Randy Gonzalez, the father in the popular TikTok duo Enkyboys has died.
He passed away on Wednesday after his battle with colon cancer. Gonzalez was 35. According to TMZ, the father in the popular TikTok duo Enkyboys died while in hospice care.
Gonzalez revealed in April that he had been diagnosed with stage four colon cancer six months prior, and was given two to three years to live.
“The doctor said I had two, three years to live, and he said with chemo, I have five years to live,” he said. “And you know, I didn’t know how to take it. It was devastating.”
Gonzalez launched a GoFundMe in an effort to cover the cost of his chemotherapy at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center after his insurance wasn’t accepted. The page has received over $250,000, as of this writing.
Since his diagnosis, Randy and his son Brice have used their platform to raise awareness about colon cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, colon cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and women. There will be an estimated 106,970 new cases of colorectal cancer in 2023, as rates among people under the age of 50 have increased by one percent every year since the mid-1990s.
In November, he provided an update on his condition, saying, “I wanna be a testimonial of this, in another year or so, when I’m still alive and when I beat it.”
