Fans and gaming personalities from all over the world have shown love and respect for Alex "Technoblade" ever since he passed away late last month. Social media has been flooded with encouraging messages, fanarts, and stories about the Minecraft legend. Alex suffered from a rare type of cancer for almost a year before finally succumbing to the illness.
Techno revealed his medical condition in a YouTube video back in August, informing viewers that he had been diagnosed with Sarcoma, a cancer affecting collective tissue. Since then, he has been raising money through charity streams and collecting money on almost all his videos under 'Minecrafters Vs Cancer', managing to rack up over $500,000 for the non-profit organization Sarcoma Foundation of America.
The Sarcoma Foundation recently put out a press release honoring the late Minecraft streamer and praised him as well as his community for helping raise money for the foundation. Here is a snippet from the release:
According to the milestone record, during Techno's stream "JAILBREAK [DREAM SMP FINALE]" last November, the fundraiser crossed the $300,000 mark. Eventually, the total amount raised by his charity streams crossed $350K by February, his last stream. At the end of June, the total donations from Minecrafters Vs Cancer added another $147K, pushing the total above a staggering $500,000.
His mourning family announced his passing in a video titled "so long nerds" released on his channel on June 30, 2022. It was an emotional farewell note read by his tearful father, bidding goodbye to the streamer's faithful community. Most of the gaming world came to pay their respects to the late streamer who went through so much and yet continued to stream while undergoing chemotherapy.
