On a sad note this week, a much-loved World of Warcraft YouTuber has passed away following a battle with a rare form of cancer.
In a video posted Monday, Hayven’s death was announced to the community. “Hayven passed away on the 18th of March, 2017, at 26 years old,” the video’s description says. “He was an inspiration to many and someone who cared immensely about his fans and community. Hayven had fought epithelioid sarcoma, a rare and severe form of cancer that usually affects teenagers and young adults.”
Hayven delivered an update about his cancer treatment back in January, saying that his health had taken a turn for the worse. His YouTube channel grew to over 55,000 subscribers and covered hundreds of videos dating all the way back to 2014, looking at the evolution of World of Warcraft over the years. Hugs go out to everyone in his family and community.
