Cancer Sucks
Another friend passed today, he wasn't feeling well a few weeks ago, went to the hospital and found out that he had stage 4 cancer in multiple locations. Nick still had a positive attitude that he could beat this, he was full of life and loved his young sons,. He was only in his 40s, we have a long time, tight Circle of friends
He was one of the most positive, good people you could ever meet, better yet, having the privilege of being his friend, and just like that he is gone  If you have kids, hug them, if you have a friend you haven't spoken to in a while, reach out because nothing is guaranteed. How is it that im still here, but a kind soul, with young children, whom he loved and adored is taken away?? Nick. You are my friend, my brother. You are missed and loved by all who knew you..

Byron - sorry for your loss. You’ve had some real setbacks the last few weeks, I hope you can get through this and just know, it’s ok to not be ‘ok’.
Condolences to his boys.

I've been told that we're given bad times to make us appreciate the good times more.
But things like this, I gotta wonder. I lost a "best buddy" to an industrial accident decades ago...he died at 45. It still hurts. Sorry Byron...my sympathy.

Sorry for your loss, Byron. One year ago, I lost my uncle to lung cancer. A few months later, my aunt passed from breast cancer. Cancer sucks.

My condolences Byron.
It's seriously unfortunate when you hear about this sort of thing, a great guy and family man with young kids being taken young. They say the good die young, and this feels like proof.

Sorry to hear the loss of your friend Byron. My dad aged 52 died of cancer. It is hard to believe that this can happen to those so young.
