Brazilian ‘Rodeo Queen’ Camila Trevisol has died at the age of 22.
The star’s family announced the tragic news last week in an Instagram post on her account.
In a statement, they said: “We inform you that our princess has passed away this morning.
“We appreciate everyone’s support.”
The beauty influencer was crowned Queen of the Jaguariúna Rodeo Festival in 2024, where she gained her online persona ‘Rodeo Queen.’
Earlier this year, she was also elected as the Inspiration Queen of the Americana Peão Festival, which celebrates the traditions of American rodeo culture.
Shortly before her death, Trevisol wrote a letter to her loyal followers and friends, with the intention of her family posting it after she had passed.
It read: “Everyone who passed through my life left a moment that I will carry with me forever, so I am very grateful to everyone who took time out of their lives to enjoy it with me, follow me on Instagram, pray, talk and everything else.
“I have already fulfilled my role here on earth and I know that my role was to inspire and influence you about life, that you have to enjoy every moment regardless of what you are going through.
“Life is only one, and time is too precious not to appreciate each moment, so live and never give up, never think negatively, never give up.”
Trevisol’s last wish was for her Instagram account to remain active, so that people could always be reminded of her presence.
She added: “I love you all and thank you very much for being with me in this life and for everyone who visited me.
“God wanted me with him and I know that my legacy will always be remembered…until next life I love you.”
The star was diagnosed with cancer in 2016, when a tumor was detected in her femur, after being struck in the leg with a soccer ball.
After undergoing chemotherapy, Trevisol was in remission from the disease by 2017.
But in 2023, she was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, an aggressive form of the illness that attacks the tissue of the bone.
In her letter, Trevisol wrote: “I want you to know that I am going in peace and my suffering is over, but do not think that it was because I did not have the strength and courage to fight, but because I was no longer able to suffer.”
Prior to her passing, the influencer shared with followers that she was in pain and having difficulty breathing.
She decided that she would prefer to be sedated.
Her mom Patricia wrote: “She couldn’t take it anymore and asked to be sedated.
“She’s already has been sedated so she won’t suffer any more and can await God’s will.”
Tributes to the Rodeo Queen have since poured in, as one said: “Until next time, Camila… I’d like to meet you in all of them!”
Another added: “It’s shocking how evolved, strong, inspiring, courageous, and a thousand other good adjectives she was that I can’t even mention!”
