The Internet mourns over the death of Emman Nimedez.
Peachy Santos, the Youtube creator’s girlfriend, announced his passing recently via a Facebook post. The influencer suffered from blood complications and kidney failure, and passed away on August 16. Nimedez was 27.
Santos wrote, “Our family is thankful to everyone who offered prayers and showed support” and that “We hope everyone will respect the family’s privacy to mourn the passing of Emman. Thank you.”
Emman announced in one of his vlogs last May that he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.
In the video, the Youtuber expresses his optimistic attitude with his upcoming battle with cancer.
“Ito na ‘yong pinakamatindi na laban na kakaharapin ko at sinasabi ko sa inyo ngayon, lahat ginagawa ko para manatiling matibay, maging handa at higit sa lahat, maging malakas kasi kailangan eh.” (This is the toughest battle I have had to face, and I’m telling you guys that I am doing everything I can to stay strong, to be prepared for anything, and most of all, to be strong because that is what’s necessary).
His channel “EmmanNimedezTV” which has over 2 million subscribers on Youtube, went viral over two years ago when he started creating Kdrama parodies and has since been creating a variety of videos that showcase his filmmaking talent. His last video uploaded two weeks ago was a music video for his song “Uuwian.”
Many fans and stars also paid tribute to Nimedez on social media.
If we really could stop the world, we’d want one more day with you, @EmmanNimedez.
You brought smiles to so many people’s faces. You were an inspiration. We lost a member of our family.
We love you. Rest in peace. pic.twitter.com/cziLFpF9yk
