On October 31st, my youth pastor and friend passed away from pancreatic cancer. He was the nicest person you could've ever met. He always had a smile on his face and would cry with you when you were going through something. He would listen with a caring ear when you told him your troubles and you always felt safe with him. November is National Pancreatic Cancer Month. I encourage you to wear purple and tell people what it means. Awareness of this horrible disease needs to be spread. It took an amazing man from this Earth.
