Chris O’Donnell, a popular fitness influencer known as Creeohdee on social media, tragically passed away at the age of 31 on January 11. He had a significant online presence, with over 842,000 followers on TikTok and more than 241,000 followers on Instagram, where he shared content primarily focused on fitness, outdoor adventures, and his beloved dog. His posts resonated with many, earning over 28 million likes on TikTok.
In the days following his death, numerous friends and followers took to social media to express their sorrow and share heartfelt tributes. Fellow influencer Kevin Clevenger posted a touching message, saying, “One day I’ll find peace in knowing you’re not in pain anymore, but today my heart aches that you’re gone. I love you.” Another close friend reflected on their shared memories and expressed regret over not staying in closer touch, saying, “I’ll love you forever. I wish we could’ve done more together. My heart is broken.”
O’Donnell’s social media presence had slowed in recent months, but in one of his final posts, he shared a poignant video of himself speaking at his brother’s wedding. He reflected on his proud moment of sending his brother and his new wife off to begin a new chapter in their lives.
Despite being widely recognized for his fitness content, O’Donnell had previously shared that fitness was not his true passion. In a December 2022 post, he expressed his love for exploring different cultures and perspectives and revealed that he was a very solitary person who had struggled with mental health issues for years. He was open about his battles, hoping to inspire others facing similar challenges. O’Donnell had also been sober since 2018 and worked to raise awareness about substance abuse.
His sudden passing has left a deep void in the online community, and tributes continue to pour in, honoring his life and the impact he made on others.
