I'm heartbroken. He was not only an amazing performer and a huge part of my childhood, but also an incredible man with a fantastic sense of humor and an enormous heart.

R.I.P Stefan. You will always be Number One to us.

WHAT??!! NOOOOOOOO! I never watched Lazy Town before but I know who the characters are and I loved them! Such a shame that we lost an iconic figure

He'll always be number one!

I don't care what anyone says, We Are Number One will forever be the top wholesome meme. Not only did it supply us with endless entertainment, but it helped a great guy in a difficult battle. Rest in peace.

This genuinely makes me sad. I didn't watch LazyTown much when I was younger, but I had a huge laugh out of the "We Are Number One" memes and his character in general.

RIP the greatest bad guy children's television ever saw.

Today has been quite the whirlwind with this being the cherry on top. I knew he was battling cancer, but I hadn't heard.

This. So many memes are really nasty and cynical but this proved that the internet can be a really awesome place sometimes. Everybody involved got a good laugh and not only did nobody get hurt, it helped a man who really needed the support and made the last few years of his life a lot better than they would have been otherwise.

Exactly. I'm pretty sure his story will end up going down in internet history. Stefan truly ended up bringing people together for a great cause.

Not only was We Are Number One a good meme, but I watched LazyTown as a child and I loved the show. It's sad to see him go, and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. Rest in peace, Stefan.

This was made after a successful gofundme campaign. He called up his meme friends.
