The TikTok content creator known as “KingBeardX,’ whose tight-angle shots and over-the-top humor earned him 2.5 million followers, died this week in Mississippi, friends and neighbors said.

John E. Crawley, the self-titled “funniest dude on the Internet,” was 47.

Crawley died on Monday at North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo, according to Glenfield Funeral Home.

Crawley did not have health insurance and had been struggling with breathing issues, according to a GoFundMe account set up for his hospital expenses.

“Thank you to everyone that has supported the fundraiser so far,” the organizer posted on Tuesday, announcing Crawley’s death. “His mother … told me to thank you all. The fundraiser will continue to go on to support fundraising a funeral/helping John’s mother.”

The bearded, balding Crawley blended comedy stylings reminiscent of Jerry Seinfeld’s everyday observations, Sam Kinison’s high volume pronouncements and Ralphie May’s homespun takes.

Food was always a popular topic of Crawley’s material. In one of his most recent postings, Crawley poked fun at the notion of a “medium rare chicken sandwich” as he hopelessly tripped on the word, “salmonella.”

Crawley also recently mocked a food influencer trying to show viewers the “correct way to eat a cinnamon roll,” again as he comically wrestled with a multi-consonant word.

“That is some off-ass information about the cinnamon roll and I don’t appreciate it!” Crawley railed. “You”re going to have all these bougies-ass children walking around eating cinnamon rolls the wrong way!”
