Sounds like your brother was a carpenter like myself. It’s sad to see anyone pass at a young age. Prayers sent!

Sorry for your loss. Cancer is nasty, unpredictable. Lost my best friend to it, too early.

So sorry for your loss.
He sounds like the kind of brother every man wishes for. May he RIP

Dam, hate that C word!!! My mother never drank, never smoked, ate organic food from our own garden, home grown beef, home baked bread, walked 1/2 to 1 mile almost every day! Got breast cancer & had a mastectomy, clear sailing for a year or more, it returned in her bones & we lost her! I've heard we all have it & if we all lived long enough it would take us all. She sure didn't get it from the food she ate or because she was old & frail. Hard to believe they can't find a cure????? Sorry for your loss huntsman it truely is unfair as to who it picks. So so sorry. GWPGUY. 🐾👣🐾👣🇨🇦

So sorry to hear this, Don. This sucks, this is a real bummer.
I think, we all have been robbed by cancer. I lost my mom in 1985 to cancer, she was 50 years old. She had 8 siblings, all but one passed from cancer. Must have been something in the water. Thery grew up on an Indian Reservation in Oklahoma. They move to California when she was a young girl. She was next to the youngest of all those kids. She had a younger brother, he was born in California, yet he passed from cancer as well.
Don, I know, how you feel losing your younger brother. I lost mine a few months back. He also lost his life to cancer. It's a rough road to hoe burring your little brother. It was my job to look after him and help out if he needed it. He was able to look after himself, I was always there for him. Yet, when he faced his toughest battel of his life, I couldn't help him. That's lonely sad feeling right in the pit of my gut.
That's enough about me and my family.
Praying for you Don. Sorry bud, sending you a big Hug.

Very saddened to hear this news. Nothing in this world like the bond of brothers. So many of us have experienced the same, and it’s excruciating. My greatest condolences go out to you and you crew.
America, Our Country and we’re taking it back.

Sorry to hear this, lost a few to cancer. One was an uncle never smoked, an outdoorsmen lived for canoeing, hiking all our lives, got cancer and that was it. His brother, my dad made it to 96 and had smoked and was a body man all his life and outlived his siblings.
Take comfort in the memories you have, he sounds like a great guy.

I don't know how to say how sorry I am to hear this. Cancer touches everyone in some way or another.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

I am sorry sir. Cancer took my brother about 12 years ago. Very hard to watch. I have had a fight with prostate cancer that was very aggressive for over a year but Right now I am winning. People tell me they are praying for me. I appreciate it but I ask them to pray for my family if I get worse. I am praying for you and the rest of your brother's family with a tear in my eye right now because I know how it feels.

Damn, Don. Sorry to hear that, my friend. Cancer is so indiscriminate and always takes the best. My condolences for your loss.
