Peeweetoms has passed away - General

Dan passed today, September 28th. I've been following this guy for a long time and I didn't want to think this would come. I'm just glad his final few months were great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StvaOocrSaQ

I had no idea who this was but after watching a video of him from 4 days ago this already is a bummer. Badass on his deathbed is making jokes about mistaking his cancer spots for his nipple. I've had a lot of my relatives pass from cancer so I really admire this guy.

Super sad. Hadn't ever heard of him until I saw his brother Matt, who is the drummer for The Joy Formidable, talking about it on twitter. Cancer is so horrible.

Absolutely terrible. I've been keeping up with his vlogs, which is rare for me, and the speed at which he regressed was absolutely shocking. Feel so bad for his wife, Becka(the redhead), whom he had just married like two weeks ago.

I know, it was absolutely terrifying. I remember thinking at the onset of his demise (his video where he said he was too sick to go on with his plan for the day) that he would just go to the hospital, get on more palliative care chemo medication, and then have at least another month or two left. No, he just immediately withered away within the week and died. I don't know if he knew at that time those were his final days. His vlog has made me significantly more aware of my own mortality, more so than any vlogger. I'm just glad his family was so able to collect themselves after his death to make this video. I'm sure Dan did an amazing job preparing them for his eventual demise. He will be missed.

Yep, especially since he had some scary relapses in the months before but always bounced back. The "A MAJOR PROBLEM AND UPDATE" video from a few days ago was legitimately terrifying. Like it had already been a really shitty week or so for me, and then that video popped up and completely sobered me up, emotionally speaking. Seeing him barely clinging to life slapped some sense into me, and although it was tough to watch, it came at a time that I needed it. Such a shame to see such a vibrant and optimistic person, turn into that. We seriously need to figure out a way to beat cancer as a species, even if a "cure" ends up being ultimately impossible due to the nature of it. If they gotta use completely synthetic body parts or some shit, whatever, as long as people no longer have to suffer and ultimately die like this.

I hope the morphine helped reduce his pain in the end. He was an awesome guy and didn't deserve the shitty hand he was dealt in life

Really made my heart sink seeing the thumbnail of his last video. Got some tears from me and has been stuck with me ever since. I really wanted to see him make it, his great attitude through it all gave me some false sense of security that he'd be fine and I'd see a new video pop up soon. Make your days matter, love the people you share life with, and stay true to yourselves.

Cancer is scary, Dr.Phil recently had a tribute for one of his staff because the dude died of cancer like 2 weeks after being diagnosed. He said he felt fine and healthy, but then felt like he got a cold and the doc told him he had literal days to live.
