The 36-year-old’s death on January 12 came just nine days before the couple’s 16-year anniversary, her husband Robert said.
“It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness I share the news of the passing of my sweet, amazing, beautiful wife Melanie,” he wrote on Instagram to her 46,000 fans.
“We are short 9 days of our 16 year anniversary. My family, our doctors, our nurses and especially Melanie fought until the end and did all we could do to avoid today, but that is not our path.”
Ham called his wife a “warrior queen” and his best friend.
She was diagnosed with a type of sarcoma called epithelioid angiomyolipoma, the New York Post reported.
She openly discussed her diagnosis with her 810,000 YouTube followers while continuing to share her love of knitting, sewing, and crocheting on the channel.
A memorial service for Ham is planned for Saturday, January 29, at Crossroads Community Church in Valencia, California.
Her family asked attendees to wear colorful attire to honor her.
