The YouTube community is mourning the loss of an inspiration.
Luke Goodwin, a man from Grimsby, England, who documented his battle with stage four Leiomyosarcoma on his YouTube channel “I Will Not Be Defeated,” died Aug. 2, his wife Beckey confirmed. He was 35.
“This is a video I never wanted to do,” she said in an Aug. 4 video on Luke’s YouTube channel. “Luke did sadly pass away on the second of August, peacefully. He was at home. He had me, Beckey, his wife, his mom and his dad all by his side. Luke is at peace now. He’s not in any pain.
And Beckey—who shares kids Taylor, 5, and Scarlett, 3, with Luke—began to get choked up as she discussed her late husband.
“Luke is an amazing person,” she continued. “He really was. He showed me how to be strong even when you’re going through the toughest times. He was an amazing dad, son, husband, and his legacy will carry on.”
