Professional Smiteplayer and Cute Devilcaster David "Allied" Hance died Wednesday after a fight with cancer that lasted over a year.
Hance's friend and manager LeafreTV announced his passing in a Reddit post Wednesday.
"I was one of the only people to visit him in the hospital so I have seen his pain, his scars (his entire stomach was messed up due to constant surgeries), how he had to walk with a cane in his 20s," LeafreTV wrote. "He didn't deserve to go through all that pain, to constantly be depressed. Even though he was one of the strongest guys out there, I'm glad he's no longer in pain."
Hance's sister Devin shared some photos of the two of them over the years.

Reddit user OhHighDro said his appearance at the Spring Fling charity stream despite his illness was something that really stuck with them.
"His appearance at Spring Fling meant so much," they said. "I said it before but you could tell he wasn't comfortable. He could've been relaxing at home and recovering but instead he showed up to be a part of a charity that helped him out when he needed it. That really impressed me."
Some even shared gameplay highlights, remembering just how good Hance was at Smite.
