His beloved, Beckey, confirmed the sad news of the 35-year-old's death. As reported by "The Sun", after the shocking diagnosis, doctors gave the man just a year to live, and in the past months, he underwent chemotherapy. Luke passed away in his own home, surrounded by his closest loved ones. In a video posted in mid-July, the YouTuber assured that he was still fighting the disease.
Someone asked in the comments if I'm still alive. Yes, buddy, I'm alive and doing well. - he said.
Although the cancer made its presence known, Luke did not lose his positive spirit and, as much as possible, provided updates online about his current condition. His wife spoke about what they had to face in an interview with GrimsbyLive. She did not hide that the past few months had been very difficult.
We were desperate and didn't know what to do. It took a toll on his mental health - he had a wife, children, parents, family, and friends. He struggled to pull himself together, but one day he decided he would not be defeated. - she recalls. He is our hero. It was tough; the chemotherapy was hard on his health, but it gave us more time. We knew his cancer was rare and incurable, but he tried to stay positive and fought for two years.
The 35-year-old's funeral is scheduled for next Friday at 11:00 GMT.
