Emilio Rivera replied: ‘May Your Father, Rest in Peace little Brother, You and Your siblings were Your Fathers Pride and Joy. You both brought a lot of Joy to many people. God gave you the talent to perform ,your Dad refined it.
‘It’s only the beginning for you. Your dad will always be there watching over You. So keep spreading that gift Brother. God Bless You and Yours Always [sic].’
Talk show host George Lopez added in a previous Instagram post: ‘My sincerest condolences to Brice and the entire Gonzalez family. The love and the bond Randy had for his son and his family was undeniable, you can see it in every video.
‘He will be missed, but never forgotten. My heart goes out to the entire family. Dios te bendiga.’
Gonzalez came to fame on Tiktok, after forming a beloved double act with his son on Enkyboys – where they would raise awareness about colon cancer.
The social media star was diagnosed with the condition in 2021, and revealed his health issues last April, explaining that doctors informed him that had between two to three years to live.
He added that chemotherapy treatment could extend his life by five years, and created a GoFundMe page to raise money for his treatments – after he was denied care at the University of Texas cancer center, as his insurance was not accepted.

In a health update from December, he told fans: ‘It’s going good. Except I have to change my chemo because it’s not working right now, but I do feel good.
‘I’m just happy that we’re back in Texas with the family.’
