A popular YouTuber's video was halted to announce her death earlier this month, to the shock of her fans.

Donna Jordan was known for videos showcasing her quilting skills, creating an array of patterns over the years on her channel.

It didn't go unnoticed either, as the American content creator accumulated over 706,000 subscribers on YouTube.

The crafts creator did her work at Jordan Fabrics Quilt Shop in Oregon, but in her latest video, titled 'Celebration Of Life: Donna Jordan - Drop Diamonds!', Donna's husband, Matt, made a heartbreaking reveal.

Like many of her other videos, the opening 12-or-so minutes have the social media creator explaining what she'll be making, before going through each step of the process.

However, it was cut off by Matt, who simply said 'this video will end right here'.

"Unfortunately, on March 14th at about 4am in the morning Donna passed away. Donna has been battling an illness for a few years now, and the last three months, it got more acute and she needed more treatments," he solemnly explained.

Matt recalled that they met each other when they were both 16 and she was already making quilts, highlighting that she's been doing this for the 51 years that they've been together.

He candidly said that his 'great wife' never completed the video, with the caption reading: "Donna's last video. We are so thankful to all of you.

"Donna, her husband Matt, and her son James were all so happy to share our joy for quilting with everyone for so many years. Thank you to everyone for watching :)"

Matt went on, fighting back tears as he spoke highly of his 'great wife', adding: "I just want to tell you that Donna loved what she did - she couldn't believe that she could make money making quilts and cutting quilts and teaching people how to do them.

"It was such a blessing to her and I hope that it was a blessing to you all. We will miss her greatly here... for me she was a great wife and a great business partner... a great mother," he stated.

The 67-year-old then went on to speak about the couple's four children, Michelle, Monica James and Jordan, all of whom he was 'grateful' for.

He signed off by saying that he was 'happy and blessed' to have Donna be a part of his life, and said he hoped the same went for their fans, as the video ended with a slideshow of the late quilt-maker.

Their son, James, left a heartfelt message that said: "We love you all so much, thanks for watching and sharing quilting with us for so many years.

"I filmed my mom on a cell phone for eight plus years and truly enjoyed spending every minute with her.

"She was such a caring, funny person full of joy and had such a passion for quilting. We loved sharing everything with all of you. Donna's Son, James," he signed off.
