Two years after receiving a colon cancer diagnosis, TikTok founder Bailey Hutchins passed away at the age of 26.
In a joint Instagram post on Saturday, February 8, the registered nurse’s husband, Caden Hutchins, whom she married in 2023, said that she had passed away the previous evening.
“My Bailey B passed away last night, and I’m devastated to say that,” Caden posted on Instagram. “She has fought an amazing battle over the past two years, and she is no longer in agony from the terrible pain she has experienced along the way.”
“Being your spouse and caregiver has been such a blessing to me,” he continued. My best friend passed away, and I’m still in complete shock and denial about it.
“Bailey, you were and always will be such an inspiration to others and a light in any room you fill,” he added. “Baby, your faith has the power to move mountains, but God had greater plans for you up above.” Until we cross paths again🕊️💕.
A picture of Bailey gazing out at a mountain view was included in the post.
Ashley Rolfes, Bailey’s sister, also posted a picture of the two of them in a carousel.
“As of 2/7 at 10:30 pm, after a two-year battle of a terrible disease, my beautiful sister gained her angel wings,” she said in her letter.
