‘Being your husband and caregiver has been such a blessing to me. I am still in such disbelief and in denial that I just lost my best friend.
‘You were and always will be such a light in any room you fill Bailey, and such an inspiration to others.
‘Your faith could move mountains. Baby, unfortunately God had bigger plans for you Up Above. Until we meet again.’
Hutchin’s TikTok account announced her death with a video of her wedding day alongside a message for her 170,000 followers.

‘As of 2/7 at 10:30 pm, after a two year battle of a terrible disease, my beautiful sister gained her angel wings. There is nothing that can prepare you for a loss like this,’ Ashley Rolfes wrote.
‘She suffered greatly, but she hid it very well. She tried not to let cancer rule her life because she just wanted to be ‘normal’. She was too good for this world. I love you so much Ba, forever and always.’
Bailey Hutchins shared her journey with cancer treatment on her popular TikTok account, where she raised awareness about the early signs of the illness.
