An emotional farewell video was uploaded in which Technoblade’s father read a farewell message from the YouTuber, thanking fans for their continued support over the nine years he’s been creating content. “If I had another hundred lives, I think I’d choose to be Technoblade again every time, as these were the happiest years of my life,” his message read. “I hope you enjoyed my content and that I made some of you laugh, and I hope you all live long, prosperous and happy lives, because I love you guys. Technoblade out.” “If I had another hundred lives, I think I’d choose to be a Technoblade again every time, as those were the happiest years of my life.” “ Known to be quite private, Technoblade only revealed his real name in the farewell message, but shared last year that he had been diagnosed with cancer in his right hand. His father explained in the video that Technoblade died just hours after writing the message. His mother also shared a text message at the end of the video. “[Technoblade] he eschewed his personal reputation and worked hard to keep his true identity confidential, and we ask that you continue to honor his wishes to protect his privacy and the privacy of his family,” it said. “My son’s bravery on this path was a brilliant lesson for all of us who were privileged to walk it with him. Thank you for sharing his journey through it all as he did the work he loved for his loving fans. “ Image credit: Technoblade Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelancer who occasionally remembers to tweet @thelastdinsdale.
