Technoblade wrote the note using his father’s computer eight hours prior to his death as his father told. “He was the most amazing kid anyone could ever ask for,” said his father, who didn’t mention his name, but he did have an adorable poodle on his lap while watching the film. “I miss Technoblade. Thank you to all of you for everything. You meant a lot to him.”
In a statement issued by the family, which was signed “Techno’s mom,” at the close of the video his mother wrote, “He avoided personal fame and worked hard to keep his true identity confidential, and I ask you to continue to honor his wishes to protect his privacy and the privacy of his family.”
Despite the fact that he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer She said that his child “didn’t complain, and kept using his famous strategic mind to try to beat what he knew were almost impossible odds. My son’s bravery on this path was a shining lesson to all of us who were privileged to walk with him.”
Technoblade’s chief executive officer, Brandi Felser, told CNN that, in the next year, the foundation will award Technoblade the Courage Award, given annually to those who work “to create hope and a better life for the sarcoma community.”
“Technoblade rallied his supporters to raise over $500,000 to date to support sarcoma research,” she said to CNN. “This allowed SFA to provide research grants in Technoblade’s name. Through these efforts, he leaves a legacy that will impact generations.”
