Crawley, who also went by the name Pimpmunkx, had spent around two weeks in hospital before his death, as per TMZ.
On July 22, he shared a clip where he posed a question to his fanbase.
“If I do a meet and greet in New Albany, Mississippi, would you guys show up?” the text in the seven-second clip said.
Crawley was seen gesticulating in the clip as the song I’m from Mississippi by Mr R.A.W. played in the background.
More than 4,400 people have commented underneath the TikTok clip with their own tributes.
“Rest in Peace King Beard,” one mourner said.
“Thank you for every laugh and smile.”
Other fans of the influencer penned: “Fly high legend.”
Crawley went viral over his reactions to how people ate food.
One clip, which has been liked more than 5.6 million times, shows Crawley reacting to someone eating a cinnamon roll.
In the video, a man was seen using a silver tool to unravel the center of the roll before eating it.
Crawley appeared to be left appalled by the way the man ate the cinnamon roll.
“That is not the correct way to eat a cinnamon roll,” he exclaimed.
“That is not the way you are supposed to do it.
“That is some false ass information about the cinnamon roll and I don’t appreciate it.”
In the bizarre tirade, Crawley feared children would pick up the habit of unraveling the cinnamon roll before eating it.
Some fans labeled Crawley the “cinnamon roll guy” as they paid tribute.
HEALTH BATTLE
Crawley had been battling ill health for a number of weeks.
The internet personality was hospitalized in Mississippi after having trouble breathing, according to a GoFundMe post.
Doctors were forced to put him on a ventilator and he was rushed to the intensive care unit.
Just days before his death, pal Anthony Caruso updated fans on his health.
He said Crawley was “awake and responsive” but was still having lung and breathing issues.
James Steele, a funeral director in New Albany, also paid tribute to Crawley.
“John was a good guy,” he told TMZ.
“He lit up a lot of people’s worlds.”
