"I do want to confirm for his fans that he did lose his long battle with mental illness, and he did take his own life," she shared. "TikTok meant a lot to him. It gave him joy. It gave him something to laugh at and to make other people laugh at and he really appreciated that."

Martha went on to note that Joe "fought a really, really long, terrible battle with his mental illness."

"And all we can hope now is that he's at peace," she added. "But I did want to provide that closure for anybody who was a VonViddy fan, just to let you know what happened."

"I also want to be remembered as a camp counselor who helped kids to make happy memories," he continued. "I'd rather not be remembered as an addict and an alcoholic who put his family through hell. But unfortunately, that's also part of me."

The social media star went on to express his gratitude for his followers, noting that they mean the world to him.

"All in all, I've had a terrific life," he concluded. "I've got to visit the other side of the world, and I've made tons of friends from all walks of life. I have nothing to complain about, and I have nothing but peace and love for each and every one of you."
