My brother Dave passed away last night after a four year battle with leukemia (and a battle with the treatment of the disease). He was a great guy. I would say that he lived a purpose-driven life. I first blogged about him in February 2012.
I blogged about Dave and my brother Paul (the donor for Dave’s bone marrow transplant) a few months later in April 2012. We had some great promise that Dave could beat this disease. My brother Paul is a great guy too. I think this experience gave him some new insight into a purpose-driven life.
I had another update blog in October 2013. He was battling the disease and also the healthcare system.
I saw Dave in August of 2015. We had a great conversation. He seemed optimistic, but I could tell that this disease (and the treatment of the disease) was really taking it’s toll. I came away from that (last) time with my brother Dave with a real sense of inspiration. I had been in the presence of someone who was still finding real purpose in his life and trying to make a difference every day in any way that he could.
I’ll miss my brother. He was a great guy.
I invite you to read more about him at this website.
