Former LifeAfter moderator and content creator Mimi Wang, widely known in the community by her gamer tag CATSEYES, has passed away, her family announced in a heartfelt social media post.
On January 18, Mimi’s family shared a message on her official CATEYES gaming YouTube channel revealing that she died on January 17, 2026, due to complications related to a tumor. According to the post, Mimi had been living with a tumor near her left kidney for several months. Although plans were in place to remove it, delays in receiving treatment contributed to her passing after a prolonged hospital stay.
In the announcement, Mimi’s family explained that she had worked hard as an online creator to support her daughter, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic impacted her earlier business. They asked for understanding and privacy, noting that the details are too personal to share publicly and expressing their wish for Mimi to rest peacefully.
At the time of the announcement, Mimi’s social accounts were being managed by her family, including her older brother and her daughter, Minorie.
Mimi made a lasting impact on the LifeAfter community, where she served as a moderator and long-time content creator. She was known for posting advanced news about collaborations, offering guides, and helping both new and experienced players navigate the game.
Following the announcement, news of her passing quickly spread across LifeAfter community forums and social media pages. Players shared tributes such as, “RIP Mimi, thank you for your contributions,” “I always came here for game news when she posted,” and “Condolences. She is the best moderator I’ve ever seen.”
While her loss is deeply felt, Mimi’s contributions and spirit clearly resonated with her community. At this time, there has been no official announcement regarding in-game memorials or fan-led events to honor her memory.
