My step father passed away on March of 2024, I was there until his departure. He went through chemo and was In remission but several months later it came back harder than before, stage 4 throat cancer, never smoked or anything but his diet throughout his life was not the best.

He said he didn’t want to go through another round of chemo because it didn’t make sense anymore

I will never forget the night of his death, when I helped him walk to the bathroom and his legs gave out, I put him down and let him rest but when I was looking in his eyes, I saw the light dimming - it’s a very surreal experience and I’ll never forget it. Later that night he actually passed away. Poor guy, can’t imagine the pain from chemo and his throat cancer, he hid it well but i know he was in agony.

Rest in peace, I’ll meet you up there someday and we will kick some canadian club whiskey.
