Luke Goodwin has passed away. The 35-year-old YouTuber documented his fight against cancer on the channel "I Will Not Be Defeated." He learned about his advanced leiomyosarcoma diagnosis in August 2022. He leaves behind grieving loved ones, including his wife and two children: 5-year-old Taylor and 3-year-old Scarlett.
The 35-year-old YouTuber has died. He recently posted a concerning video
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 him just a year to live. In the past months, he underwent chemotherapy. Luke passed away in his home, surrounded by his closest loved ones. In a video posted in mid-July, the YouTuber assured everyone that he was still fighting the disease.
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 were very difficult.
We were in despair because we just didn't know what to do. It had an effect on Luke's well-being mentally - he had a wife, children, parents, family, and friends - and initially, he was all over the place until he decided one day, 'I will not be defeated,' she recalls. He said that at the time, and from that day on he put his mind to it and fought. He's our warrior and our hero. We knew [his cancer] was rare and incurable, but he kept a positive mindset and battled for two years through highs and lows, she recalls.
The 35-year-old's funeral is scheduled for next Friday.
