Another sad announcement of the passing of a dear brother of ours, Mathes72. He had been a member of Health Unlocked MaleCare since March 2008 and lost his valiant battle recently in the war against his malady. I wish to offer my sincerest condolences to his dear wife who continues to post under her loving husband's Identification.

Thank you John for informing us of the depressing passing of another comrade. Each time one of our members leaves us I am saddened, but reminded that "A life that touches others goes on forever.” Peace to Mathes72's family.
Mathes72 is now not with us but in peace and comfort heaven. 13 yrs+ battling this dreaded disease reminds us, me to live life every day and love each other every day.
My wife and I express our deepest condolences to his wife and family in the passing of yet another fallen warrior. Rest easy brother. Praying for God’s peace that passes all understanding for all those who loved him
It is sad news but also uplifting to know that he outlasted the statistics on this disease and that should gives us all hope. He is lucky he had the strength of a lioness who stood by her lion; there are many fighting this disease alone without a loving partner by their side and that must be almost insurmountable emotionally. Let’s hope that the immunotherapy trials currently going on that are showing positive results in the UK to activate the T-cells to attack the cancer cells is soon a curative treatment that the men in our lives can use to cure this disease. I think we are very close and until then we must all remain determined to not let cancer invade our spirit and take our lives.
My heart felt sympathy to Mathes72's wife and family. Even when expected the pain following the loss of a loved one is almost palpable. A sudden death is a shock. Watching a loved one muster the courage for a years long battle and watching the battle be lost exacts a toll. Family, clergy and friends can provide the comfort needed -- when comfort is needed. It takes time to learn to live with a significant loss. We are never over it. The cherished memories couldn't have been made without the pain. What an awful bargain the best moments of life can be-- but who would give it up? It takes time. Who can believe that this that we have here-- is all we have? I feel there are people waiting for me--somewhere--.
Thank you j-o-h-n for relaying the bad news. You are a good friend.
Thank you.... But I'm still here.......(unfortunately, as my ex-wife would say).... No problem but I needed a nervous laugh today....Unless you know something I don't know.....
