Miami-based creator Ben Bader, known for his lifestyle and financial-advice content across Instagram, TikTok and X, passed away on October 23, 2025, at the age of 25, his girlfriend Reem announced via a heartfelt TikTok tribute.

In her video tribute, Reem described Bader as “the kindest, most caring, most generous person I have ever met in my entire life.” She revealed the news had come in the worst possible phone call and noted the cause of death remains unknown. She added that the young creator seemed “so happy, so normal” when they spoke just hours before his passing.

Friends and fellow creators paid tribute to his warmth and generosity, highlighting how he made people feel seen and supported both online and in person.
