TikTok star Randy Gonzalez dies at 35 after battle with stage four cancer
TikTok star Randy Gonzalez, famous for his wholesome videos with six-year-old son Brice, has died following a battle with stage four cancer.
The social media sensation has tragically passed away aged 35, nine months after announcing his devastating colon cancer diagnosis.
He rose to fame filming hilarious lip sync videos with his son Brice on their channel Enkyboys, which boasts more than 15.4million followers on TikTok.
The father-of-three has even appeared on Good Morning America alongside his son back in 2019 and their adorable videos have been shared worldwide.
Randy was given only two to three years to live back in 2021 – but was told that chemotherapy would give him an additional five years.
