Daniel Coleman, creator and host of the popular children’s YouTube series Danny Go!, has revealed that his son Isaac Coleman has died of cancer.
Daniel took to Instagram on Friday, May 22 to share the tragic news that Isaac had passed away on Thursday, May 21. He shared a picture of Isaac, as well as a photo of himself holding Isaac, along with an emotional comment about his child.
“Oh, sweet boy. Daniel wrote, “I have so much to say, but I don’t know how yet.” “I already miss you so much, and the agony in my heart is more than I can bear. But after going through thousands of photos and videos this week, I’m also filled with immense pride.”
“Your 14 years have been full of challenges, but you’ve faced them all with such determination … and somehow you’ve maintained your signature joy through it all,” he said. “You definitely had a spark like no other, Isaac! Remembering how loved you were and how vivid your time here was brings me immense peace. Being your father has been the privilege of a lifetime. I am so proud of you and will adore you forever. Rest in peace, son.
As previously reported, Daniel revealed in a December 2025 Instagram post that Isaac has stage 3 oral cancer. Isaac was born with Fanconi anemia, which the Cleveland Clinic describes as “a rare inherited condition that affects your bone marrow and many other parts of your body.”
“We found out last week that Isaac has oral cancer,” Daniel captioned his December Instagram carousel. “Honestly, we knew this day would come because Fanconi’s anemia makes it almost certain.. But it’s definitely coming a little earlier than we expected, and hearing about your child is still such a shock, even if you’ve been preparing for it for years.”
