Children's YouTube creator Danny Go shares heartbreaking loss of his teenage son

Daniel Coleman, the creator and star of the popular children’s YouTube channel Danny Go!, shared the devastating news that his 14-year-old son, Isaac, has passed away following a courageous battle with cancer. Coleman posted a touching tribute on Instagram, expressing both his profound grief and immense pride in his son’s incredible grit and trademark joy, calling the opportunity to be Isaac's dad the honor of a lifetime.

Isaac was diagnosed at birth with Fanconi anemia, a rare inherited condition affecting the bone marrow. His health journey became even more challenging when he was diagnosed with stage three mouth cancer in late December 2025. After the cancer aggressively spread, Isaac entered hospice care in late April 2026. Coleman had previously canceled his Danny Go! tour for the remainder of the year to spend precious time with his family during this incredibly difficult period.
