“We have received some news no one wants to hear, tonight we lost a huge part of our family, my sister Candice,” she said. “This was very unexpected, and our hearts are torn apart.”
“Candice was so full of life and always lived life her own way,” Marsha wrote, remembering her sister. “She was full of energy and loved to dance & listen to her music; can't forget about her Bingo, oh how she loved her Bingo.
“But more than anything in his world she loved her Son & her family dearly.”
Candice’s last TikTok video was of her doing a lip sync to the words: “I hate it when the voices in my head go silent, because then I don’t know what those f*****s are upto.”
Tributes to the TikToker have been pouring in on the Go Fund Me page and across social media.

“I did not personally know Candice. But, she became part of my daily life. I loved seeing her bright light on Tik Tok every day. She was real. She was fun. She was beautiful on the inside and out,” said another.
At the time of this article’s publication, more than $17,000 (£12,500) has been raised on the Go Fund Me page. The money will help cover the funeral costs and Candice’s headstone and anything left over is being put into a trust for Candice’s son, Marsha said.
