List of Deceased YouTubers

This article is a list about people with YouTube accounts who have passed away, leaving behind their channel and videos as a memory. For example, Geriatric1927, who was once the most subscribed on YouTube in August 2006, died of cancer on March 23, 2014 at age 86, after a long battle with an advanced type of cancer. However, some are not as lucky to die at such an old age, such as Grimmie, Eddsworld, Yoteslaya and Quxxn. Some other notable deaths are that of Monty Oum, Taliajoy18, and Scott "Stoked" Yakiwckuk.
