TikTok star John Crawley, who was better known online as KingBeardX, has passed away. He was 47.

Anthony Caruso, a close friend of Crawley and his former podcast partner, shared the heartbreaking news on Tuesday, August 19, via a GoFundMe page he created earlier in the month for the well-loved TikTok comedian.

“I’m deeply saddened to inform everyone of the unfortunate news that Pimpmunkx (KingBeardx) passed away yesterday,” Caruso stated. “A heartfelt thanks to everyone who has contributed to the fundraiser thus far.”

“His mother conveyed her gratitude to all of you,” he added. “The fundraiser will remain active to support the costs of the funeral and to assist John’s mother.”

Crawley went to North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo, Mississippi, earlier this month because he was struggling to breathe.

Crawley’s condition was “quite unstable,” per the fundraising page, and he was later placed in the ICU.

Crawley’s family asked Caruso to help them launch a fundraiser to raise money for the TikTok star’s medical bills because he didn’t have health insurance.

“John is the main breadwinner for his family, and unfortunately, he doesn’t have medical insurance,” Caruso explained roughly two weeks before Crawley’s shocking death. “His condition is quite unstable, and we’re all worried about him.”

Crawley’s obituary on Glenfield Funeral Home’s website confirmed that the beloved social media personality passed away on Aug. 18 at North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo.
