The father of the TikTok Enkyboys duo died on Wednesday following a battle with colon cancer.
Randy Gonzalez, who was known for teaming up with his 7-year-old son Brice in comical social media skits, died at the age of 35, according to reports.
Gonzalez revealed he had been diagnosed with stage-four colon cancer last year and was given a few years to live.

“The doctor said I had two, three years to live, and he said with chemo, I have five years to live,” he said. “And you know, I didn’t know how to take it. It was devastating.”
Gonzalez recently celebrated Brice’s appearance on an NBC Lopez vs Lopez episode.
Fans took to social media to react to the news of Gonzalez’s death.
“I just heard the news about Randy’s passing,” media personality Shaun Robinson wrote. “God rest his soul. Praying for Brice. That little boy had such a champion in his father. I’m praying for his strength to carry on in his dad’s memory.”
“I wish this wasn’t true,” fellow TikToker Leo Gonzalez added. “Randy, you taught so many of us to have faith again. And to dream so big. I hope you have the rest you deserve. I hope you have peace. I hope the Gonzalez family can rest in the promise of your love — and of God’s love.”
In December, Gonzalez provided an update on his treatment, saying his doctors were in the midst of changing his chemotherapy due to a lack of response but that he felt good.
Enkyboys’s last TikTok post showed Gonzalez and his son switching roles as Brice comically chastised his father.
