00:16I'm devastated to say that my Baylee B has passed away last night. She fought such a

00:21tough incredible fight these past two years and she's no longer suffering from all the

00:26torturous pain she has endured during this journey. He then went on to express his grief

00:31and call her an inspiration, writing, quote,

00:35Being your husband and caregiver has been such a blessing to me. I am still in such

00:39disbelief and in denial that I just lost my best friend. You are and always will be such

00:44a light in any room you fill, Baylee, and such an inspiration to others. Your faith

00:49could move mountains, baby. Unfortunately, God had bigger plans for you up above. Until

00:54we meet again.

00:55Caden's TikTok tribute was equally moving and included video from their wedding day.

01:01Baylee was first diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in early 2023, but it later progressed

01:06to stage 4. She gained a huge following on TikTok, where she encouraged her followers

01:10to seek out early cancer diagnosis and updated fans on her journey.

01:16The news of her passing comes weeks after her husband gave an update on Baylee's battle

01:20on TikTok on January 26, where he admitted she was out of energy.

01:25Past couple weeks have been in the hospital at Moffitt. They did two surgeries to her

01:32within those past two weeks. At this point now, we're just at home. We're just focusing

01:44on healing and recovery. We got like a little special clear liquid concoction that I created

01:54for her and she's been drinking that. Just trying to hold back fluids and stay hydrated.

02:01But yeah, overall, she just wanted me to reach out to you guys and just let you all know

02:10that she loves you guys so much.

02:13Baylee last gave an update herself on TikTok on January 19, where she maintained her sense

02:17of humor. Days prior, she explained to her followers why she had returned to the hospital.

02:23Basically, there's a little spotty spot that is unfortunately pressing on my cute little

02:28colon. So it's causing the obstruction and that's what's been causing the obstruction

02:34since I've been getting them. So for all you people who said, Baylee, you're doing too

02:42much. You're working out. You're causing obstruction. No. It's Goliath. Unfortunately,

02:49I wish I was working out too hard that I could cause an obstruction in my body. I wish that

02:52was a problem. But yeah, so a little spotty spot is unfortunately growing and pushing

03:01into my colon, but it'll go away eventually.

03:08Thousands of users poured their condolences into the comment section of the post about

03:11her death, expressing their condolences with one user writing, rest in peace, angel. So

03:16sad to hear the news today. And another commenting, fly high, sweetheart. No more suffering or

03:22pain.
