Chris O’Donnell Has Died Aged 31
Fitness influencer Chris O’Donnell, known as Creeohdee on TikTok, has tragically died aged 31.
O’Donnell, widely recognized on social media as Creeohdee, has been confirmed to have died in an online obituary.
O’Donnell had a significant presence on social media, especially on TikTok, where he amassed over 842,000 followers and received more than 28.2 million likes.
His Instagram account also had a substantial following, with over 241,000 followers.
In one of his final TikTok posts, O’Donnell shared a heartfelt video of himself delivering a speech at his brother’s wedding.
Reflecting on that moment, he wrote: “One of my proudest moments as a brother, being able to send these two off into the next chapter of their lives.”
Many people have expressed their condolences, including fellow social media personality Kevin Clevenger, known as ironsanctuary.
In a touching tribute, Clevenger wrote: “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.”
While O’Donnell’s Instagram activity had decreased in recent months, he posted a reel in November 2024 that showcased moments from his outdoor adventures, including hiking and off-roading.
In the caption, he pondered how he would be remembered, writing: “I wonder when I leave this earth, when I leave the rat race, when I’m lying in the dirt, if you’d remember my face.”
O’Donnell’s social media content often revolved around fitness, nature, and his beloved dog.
Despite being known as a fitness influencer, he revealed in a December 2022 Instagram post that fitness was not his primary passion.
“I am a content creator with most of my media revolving around fitness. However, fitness is far from my passion,” he wrote.
Warning: the following contains a discussion of s**cide.
In the same post, O’Donnell discussed his diverse life experiences and his love of learning about other cultures and perspectives.
He described himself as ‘a very solitary person’ and noted that he had been open about his mental health struggles since high school, hoping to inspire others on their journeys.
He also shared that he had been sober since 2018, dedicating himself to raising awareness about substance abuse and helping others find treatment.
“I’ve been an advocate for substance abuse awareness ever since, helping men and women who are struggling find the treatment they need,” he said.
An online obituary confirmed that he died on Saturday, Jan. 11.
According to the Maricopa Medical Examiner, O’Donnell’s cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head, and his death was ruled a s***ide.
@creeohdee Haven’t shared this before but was reminiscing on old memories and this was one I gravitated back towards. Went ahead and threw some photos from the event down there in case I start to bore folks to death 😂
