Influencer Ben Bader has died at age 25 just hours after posting his final video on social media.
According to his girlfriend Reem, Bader died on Oct. 23. "Ben was the kindest, most caring, most generous person I have ever met in my entire life," she said in her heartfelt tribute posted on her TikTok page. "He genuinely loved every single person that he met and he was so positive all the time."
The cause of his death remains unknown, per Reem.
"No one really knows and it seemed to have been extremely sudden," she continued, noting there were "no signs of this happening."
"We were supposed to get dinner that night and he seemed so normal. I had just talked to him on FaceTime a couple hours before he passed and he was so happy and so normal and he was just smiling and being so funny," she shared.
In her Instagram stories, Reem also shared that she "kept waiting for them (his family) to say he’s awake. I kept waiting for this to be a bad dream. My worst fear came to life. I got the worst phone call of my life.”
Bader enjoyed sharing lifestyle content and financial advice on Instagram, TikTok, and X, where he garnered hundreds of thousands of followers. According to PEOPLE Magazine, he also started a financial coaching course and had an email newsletter, where he shared financial tips.
His death came just over a month after he marked his 25th birthday.
