[00:00:00]Daniel Go, creator Daniel Coleman, has lost his 14-year-old son and his goodbye is heartbreaking. Daniel Coleman, the man behind the beloved kids channel Danny Go, shared devastating news on Instagram. His son Isaac died Thursday after a battle with cancer. Daniel wrote, "Oh, my sweet boy. I already miss you so much." Isaac had Fanconi anemia, a rare inherited condition that greatly raises the risk of cancer. Daniel said the family knew this day might come, but it still hit them like a punch in the heart. He canceled his tour earlier this year to stay home with Isaac and his wife Mindy. And in late April, he revealed Isaac had entered hospice care.

[00:00:48]In his final message, Daniel wrote that Isaac faced 14 years of challenges with grit and joy and called being his dad the honor of a lifetime. A children's creator who gave millions of families joy is now grieving the unimaginable.
