Vincent "Vinny" Venturino † (April 1, 1999 - March 26, 2014 [aged 14]) was an American gaming YouTuber known primarily for his videos themed around Minecraft and games from the Fallout Series. He garnered a boost in popularity when one of his videos "Minecraft: Herobrine Sightings on my Private Server" went viral with more than a million views.

==Cancer Diagnosis and Death==
Vinny had been diagnosed with brain cancer in early 2013 and the tumor had begun to slowly take its toll on his health, its effects on his speech and talking manner were noticeable in his later videos. In February of 2013, Vinny underwent an operation to have the tumor removed, and an MRI taken later in the month initially showed the operation to have been succesful. However, in July of 2013, the tumor reappeared, and was this time labeled inoperable. Vinny was taken back to his home in Youngstown, Ohio, to be surrounded by family and close friends. He appeared on camera for the last time in November of 2013, in a video entitled "So bored...," in which he appears to be extremely lethargic and is slurring his words. According to testimony from his friends, his physcial health began declining rapidly after Christmas of that year. On March 25, 2014, Vinny slipped into a coma, and was pronounced dead the following day on March 26, 2014, only six days before his fifteenth birthday.
