YouTube star Daniel Coleman, known for his children's series Danny Go!, has announced the death of his 14-year-old son, Isaac. The creator and host of the popular children's channel shared the news on Instagram on Thursday.
Isaac was born with Fanconi anaemia, a rare genetic condition that impairs the body's ability to repair DNA. In December, Coleman revealed that Isaac had been diagnosed with stage 3 mouth cancer. Despite undergoing surgery in January, the cancer spread aggressively, and the family shifted to a comfort-focused approach in April.
In his emotional tribute, Coleman wrote: 'Oh my sweet boy. There's so much I want to say, but I don't know how yet. I already miss you so much, and the pain in my heart is far more than I can process.' He added: 'Your 14 years were full of so many challenges, but you met them all with such grit…and you somehow kept your trademark joy in spite of it all.'
Coleman, who co-created Danny Go! in 2019, is survived by his wife Mindy and their younger son Levi, born in 2015. Mindy also appears on the channel as Mindy Mango. The live-action educational channel features music and dance videos aimed at children aged 3 to 7.
