Bobby was best known for his upbeat and humorous family content which he frequently posted to TikTok.

His bio read: "Just here to embarrass my daughter," and his page currently holds over 18.6 million likes with more than 361k followers who would regularly tune in to catch the dad's latest escapades.

The grieving family of the internet star and father-of-three confirmed the devastating news of Bobby's death in a recent statement uploaded to the video sharing platform.

The statement explained that the 'loving father and husband' had been 'weighed down by financial pressures' in the run-up to his heartbreaking passing upon which he left behind his wife Jennifer and three children Kaytlin, Max and Charleigh.

Uploaded to TikTok by Bobby's eldest daughter, Kaytlin, the statement disclosed the TikToker's cause of death: "It is with great grief and sadness that we share the loss of Bobby Moudy.

"Bobby was a loving father, husband, brother and friend. On April 28th, he was a tragic victim of suicide. Bobby was full of life and laughs..."

The statement continued: "But also weighed down by financial pressures.

"His wife, Jennifer and their three children are in an emotional and financial crisis as he was their rock."

Accompanying the heartbreaking announcement, Kaitlyn captioned the post: "On April 28th my best-friend was able to see our Heavenly Father.

"He was the most amazing dad, brother, uncle, and friend. He had such an impact on not only his family but those around him."

She concluded: "He was and is still so loved by so many. He will forever be remembered.

"We're counting down the days until we see you again."

Bobby died at his Mississippi home but the wider details surrounding his suicide have not currently been released by his family, TMZ reports.

A close friend to the family, Mandy Castle, has since set up a GoFundMe page to raise funds to help support the Moudy family through their devastating loss and financial issues.

The bio reads: "If Bobby touched your life in any way, personally or through his fun family TikTok page, please consider helping his family through this devastating time.
