Daniel Coleman, the creator and host of the YouTube series Danny Go!, has announced the devastating news that his son has passed away.
Daniel‘s son Isaac died on Thursday (May 21) at the young age of 14 following a months-long battle with cancer.
Isaac was born with the rare genetic disorder Fanconi anemia, which causes bone marrow failure, physical abnormalities, and the increased risk of developing cancers. Because of this, his parents knew that cancer would come one day, with the diagnosis happening in December 2025.
“TBH, we always knew this day was coming, as it’s a near certainty w/Fanconi anemia. But it’s definitely hitting a little earlier than we hoped and is still just such a shocking thing to hear about your child, even if you’ve braced for it for years,” Daniel wrote at the time.
Daniel shared the news of Isaac‘s death on Friday (May 22) with a touching tribute.
Isaac Daniel Coleman
10/3/11 – 5/21/26Oh 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. But looking through thousands of pictures and videos this past week, I’m also filled with tremendous pride. 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. You truly had a spark like no other, Isaac! Remembering how loved you were and how full of life your time here was gives me great comfort. Being your dad was the honor of a lifetime. I’m so proud of you and I love you forever. Rest peacefully, son.
We’re sending our thoughts and condolences to the Coleman family during this difficult time.
