Popular internet personality Andy Isaac, who amassed nearly 1 million followers on his @WorldofIsaac X account, has died at the age of 45 following a 19-year battle with cancer, according to a post shared on his account Thursday (March 6) morning.
"Good morning . Andy passed away peacefully this morning beside his loving family. We thank you all for your support and love over the years. This was a genuine space of laughter and kindness. Please carry this spirit on in honor of Andy. As always, Faturday forever and FTB," the post states.
Isaac, a passionate Michigan State and Detroit sports fan and foodie, revealed his decision to put himself on hospice care in a statement shared on February 18.
"I have composed so many messages on social media," Isaac wrote. "For myself, for work, for entertainment, for food, for cancer, for Faturday, for sports, for the Lions and for the Pistons, and for the Tigers and for MSU and so on and so on and so on.
"I don't know when my first tweet or post was but I can tell you, sadly, this is probably one of my last.
"Having cancer since 2006 has finally taken its toll on me, it has finally stripped me of quality of life.
I have decided on hospice care.
"Life has been a struggle these last few months and years. I hope I can find some peace in hospice.
"I may keep a journal of my final days. I'm not sure yet. I'm tired and I'm in pain, I have a horrible foot infection that is preventing me from walking and I just don't have the strength to do all the last minute things I want.
"But I'll try.
I hope i gave you all a positive outlook on life. I hope I made even the smallest impact.
"Be kind to each other. I love you all. Truly, I do.
"Andy Isaac."
Isaac shared his gratitude for his favorite teams, the Michigan State Spartans, Detroit Red Wings, Detroit Tigers, Detroit Pistons and Detroit Lions all putting #Faturday on their scoreboards in tribute to him last month.
"Thank you #Detroit, thank you," he wrote.
