TikTok’s most famous dad Randy Gonzales, who used to make videos with his son on TikTok, died after battling colon cancer on Wednesday.
Randy Gonzalez gained fame through the cute videos he used to post with his 6-year-old son Brice Gonzalez. They are famous by the name @enkyboys. The most-loved dad on TikTok shared with his followers in April 2022 that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer.
While announcing this news he said “I kept it to myself, and I felt like it was selfish, because I didn’t want to tell everybody my business because it was personal. But I feel like I can use my situation to give awareness to young men like myself.”
He further said that the doctors have given him 2-3 years to live. Since then, he has used his platform to share awareness about this deadly disease. He urged his younger fans to start taking care of their bodies early on.
After lung and breast cancer, colon cancer is the third most common type of cancer. It is also dangerously on the rise among young people. Randy was also just 35 years old when he got diagnosed with it.
25% of patients with colon cancer have a family history of this disease. For this reason, it is recommended that an individual should get their screening done at a young age because if the cancer is found at an early stage it can be curable.
