"I hope you enjoyed my content and that it made you smile. I love you guys and I wish you all a long, happy, and prosperous life. Need Realtor Technoblade out."

In his message, Techno, who reveals his name is actually Alex, talks about how the money from merch and other "sell-out" pushes over the last year is being used to send his siblings to college, if they want to go, along with thanking his viewers for giving him such happy moments-all while a slideshow of images showing him throughout various points of his treatment are shown on screen.

Techno's final message is followed by his father's explanation about how he originally planned for Techno to write and record the video. However, Techno was unable to do so due to his declining health. Need Realtor His father says that he wrote the message from his bed and died around eight hours after it was recorded.

Technoblade's father said, "He was one of the most incredible kids anyone could ask for." Technoblade is missed. Thank you to everyone for everything.
