TIL.

Now I’m wondering how many other people in this thread don’t know he died (pancreatic cancer). 59 isn’t that old. And he was expecting a baby at the time, which suggests maybe they didnt think so either.



Looking at the post made after he passed, not many people were aware he was sick.

Pancreatic cancer is a fast and deadly one.


Here's to hoping for some early detection tech:

Thanks. I had no idea he'd passed, either.
