Piotr played for the academy of Polish club Ruch Radzionków and studied at the School of Sports Mastery in Radzionków.
He was also the son of rock singer Tomasz ‘Haja’ Dawid who performs with the metal band Oberschlesien and as a solo artist.
Tomasz announced his son’s sudden passing on Instagram with a black-and-white family photo bearing a mourning ribbon.
He said: “Son, our world has collapsed today.
“The world is unfair.
“We will always remember you as a happy, smiling man full of goodness.”
He added: “We will always love you.”
The school and academy issued a joint statement after the teen’s death: “Piotr will remain in our memory as a person who was always smiling, kind and helpful.
“His presence brought a lot of goodness, warmth and cordiality to the school community.
“He was a friend you could always count on and a person who will be hard to replace.”
No cause of death has been disclosed by the family, who have asked for privacy during this difficult time.
His father released the solo track ‘SYNU’ that was dedicated to his son in 2018.
Tomas’ public career, including popular YouTube and Twitch content alongside his music, often highlighted his close family bonds.
Tomas, a prominent figure on the Śląsk music scene, took his son to Milan, Italy, to watch a game at the San Siro stadium in late April, as reported by Need To Know.
He shared photos of them together with the message: “These are the moments when the heart beats faster.
“With my son at the match.”
Earlier this month, Piotr shared tender images of him visiting Italy with his girlfriend Amelia.
Arrangements for the funeral and memorial services are being coordinated by the family, with local sports clubs expected to hold a minute of silence in the player’s honour at upcoming matches.
