Beloved TikTok comedian Steve Bridges has passed away at the age of 41.
According to New York Post, the American comedian known for his POV-style sketches about everyday life died “peacefully in sleep,” his wife Chelsey Bridges announced on Friday, October 17.
In an emotional video posted on Bridges’ Instagram account, Chelsey, breaking down in tears, said, “I'm really sorry to get on and tell you this, this way. I think if I wait any longer, I'm not going to be able to do it. Who you saw online were just the characters that he created. He was so talented because he was the opposite of all of them."
Bridges, who died at his residence on October 15, had gained more than 2 million followers across TikTok and Instagram with his funny videos in which he exaggerated common characters, like salespeople, bad boyfriends, and kids at the pool.
"He was the most attentive father and the best, the best husband. And the greatest, sweetest man. And thanks to you, internet, he's been able to live his dream of making people laugh. I am so thankful that he got to do that," Chelsey added.
She also urged viewers to not take anything for granted, appreciate every moment, live their dreams, love their families and take care of themselves.
Steve Bridges and Chelsey have been married for 16 years and are parents to a 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old twin sons.
