VonViddy, real name Joe Muchlinski, was well known for his impressions and comedy videos on the platform with 169,000 followers and millions of likes across his clips.

On Monday, the creator uploaded a cryptic video to TikTok, in which he spoke about how he wanted fans to remember him.

"All in all I’ve had a terrific life. I’ve got to visit the other side of the world and I’ve made tons of friends from all walks of life," he continued, before signing off: "I have nothing to complain about and I have nothing but peace and love for all of you."

The same day, his sister Martha shared that Muchlinski had passed away.

“I do want to confirm for his fans that he did lose his long battle with mental illness and he did take his own life," she said. "Joe fought a long and really terrible battle with his mental illness."

The caption read: "Joe was my first word. He was my older brother, my only sibling, and this is one of the worst days of my life. I know folks have been concerned since his (Vonviddy’s) last video and deserve some closure."

Heartbreaking messages soon flooded in for Muchlinski, with one writing: "VonViddy we love you. Thank you for all of the laughs. Truly heartbreaking."
