TikTok creator Bailey Hutchins has died at age 26 after a two-year battle with colon cancer. Her husband, Caden, announced her death over the weekend, saying she passed away on Friday night. In his message, he described her as strong, loving, and an inspiration to everyone around her. He also shared that caring for her during her illness had been an honor.

A video posted on Hutchins’ TikTok account, featuring clips from her wedding day, informed her 170,000 followers of her passing. The post said the family felt comfort knowing she was no longer in pain. The video quickly drew millions of views as fans offered condolences.
Hutchins’ sister, Ashley Rolfes, also shared a tribute. She wrote that Bailey had endured significant pain but tried to stay positive and live as normally as possible. She described her sister as gentle, kind, and deeply loved.

Hutchins was diagnosed in 2023 with stage 4 colorectal cancer that had already spread to her abdominal lining. Throughout her treatment, she used her TikTok platform to talk honestly about her experience and to raise awareness about early warning signs of colon cancer. Many followers thanked her for encouraging them to seek medical advice sooner.
In late January, Caden posted an update saying Hutchins had recently spent several weeks in the hospital and undergone two surgeries. He explained that she was weak but comforted by the support from her online community. He also shared that she wanted her followers to know how much she appreciated them.

Friends, family, and fans continue to honor Hutchins’ legacy, remembering her for her optimism, strong faith, and determination to help others—even while facing a life-threatening illness.
