My 21 yr old son Jacob lost a short battle with cancer on the 16th. This came out of nowhere and my family is entirely devastated.

If you would like to contribute to St. Jude's Research Hospital in his memory you can do so HERE

His Teammates on the El Paso Sun Devils made a really nice tribute video here

This is a tough one to swallow guys. I am a broken man.

Damn, so sorry. My son was diagnosed at 16, but seems to have beat it so far. The fear never leaves though. My families thoughts and prayers are with you.

It's hard to imagine anything that would be more difficult on a parent. Kids are supposed to eventually lay their parents to rest. The reverse never seems right. My deepest condolences. You and your family will be in my thoughts & prayers for a while.

I can only imagine how you must feel as I have not ever experienced something like this. Ever since reading this news on Facebook, it's been hard to think about anything else. All the best to you and your family and just know that we're thinking of you.

Every day we look around and think we are having a tough time or believe others are doing better than we are somehow. This is the kind of news that jars us all back to reality. It happens. We have all sorts of wonderful things in the medical field we didn't have in the past, but there are still too many things we don't have.

My heart goes out to you, Roadhand and family.

So very sorry to hear this. As the father of a young man myself, I'm mindful of the devastation that must accompany such a loss...

Wow, Roadie, Sorry for your loss.
"Jesus Wept" is the shortest verse in the Book. (John 11:35)

If we read it in context, he wept, because those at the funeral did not know Him as "The Resurrection".

He said Lazurus was "Not Dead, but sleepeth"

Jesus is "The way the truth, and the life". He is "The way to the father".

And, Jesus called "death" "Sleep". Because he has solved the problem, of death.

God bless you, as you grieve. I could be where you are.

I will mention you all in my prayers.

Nate
