Utah Influencer Announces Own Death at 30 After Five-Year Cancer Battle

Tanner Martin, a popular Utah influencer, recently announced his own death at age 30 after a five-year battle with stage four colon cancer. In a pre-recorded video shared to his and wife Shay’s joint Instagram account, Martin expressed his gratitude for the life he had lived and asked fans to pray for his wife and newborn daughter. The video, intended as a lighthearted way to get his thoughts out before passing, saw Martin share his excitement about the afterlife and meeting loved ones who no longer suffer pain.
