He continued to fight until the bitter end, surviving two leaks to the brain, nearly two weeks of chemotherapy twice a day and cardiac arrest. At 24, his life was stolen. The doctors decided it was best to switch off his life support as it was cruel to keep him suffering.

This poem is by Charlie Daniels…

A brief candle; both ends burning An endless mile; a bus wheel turning A friend to share the lonesome times A handshake and a sip of wine So say it loud and let it ring We are all a part of everything The future, present and the past Fly on proud bird You’re free at last.
