Zack “Asmongold” announced that his father has passed away following a recent period of illness. The streamer had stepped back from his regular content schedule in recent weeks to spend time with his father. The news comes after Asmongold told viewers his father was seriously ill.
While no specific cause of death was shared in the announcement, community members noted the illness appeared to progress quickly. Asmongold’s father was more than just a parent to one of Twitch’s biggest creators. He became a recognizable figure in the streaming community through his occasional phone calls during broadcasts.
Fans affectionately dubbed him “Asmondad” or “Asmonpa” and looked forward to his conversational drop-ins. These call-ins became legendary moments for long-time viewers. His father’s signature “one more thing” asides and grounded perspective created a unique dynamic that viewers cherished.
The casual father-son banter provided authentic moments that broke through the usual streaming content. This loss is particularly difficult as Asmongold previously shared that his mother passed away several years ago.
He took an extended break from content creation at that time to grieve and handle family matters. As co-founder of One True King (OTK) and one of the platform’s most-watched variety streamers, Asmongold built his following through MMO content, reaction videos, and his unfiltered commentary.
The streaming community has flooded social media with condolences. Many fans shared memories of Asmondad’s appearances and the joy these moments brought to streams. Fellow content creators and OTK members have also expressed their support.
No information about memorial services or Asmongold’s return to streaming has been announced. Based on his previous hiatus following his mother’s passing, viewers expect he will take the time he needs to grieve and handle family affairs.
