My the memories bring you strength in your time of sorrow.

I love my family even if I don't always like them. (Yes, I'm aware I'm not easy to like)

Losing a DU member is like losing a family member because DU is a family - and it is a family because there are all kinds of families and people can choose to be family. They don't have to be related. They share other bonds besides blood and marriage.

My sincere and heartfelt sorrow for the loss of nevergiveup.

to nevergiveup family, my deepest sympathy.

Cross gently, fellow DUer.

So sad he lost his battle with cancer. He will be missed on DU. He was one of us.

I extend my condolences to his family and all who knew and loved him.

A friend of mine (very good voice) started learning/singing this song. The composer said was inspired by his mother's passing.

Drops of Jupiter (by Train)

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair

She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's a time to change, hey
Since the return of her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey
Hey, hey, yeah

But tell me, did you sail across the sun?
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that Heaven is overrated?
And tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?
One without a permanent scar, and did you miss me
While you were looking for yourself out there?

Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, mmm

She checks out Mozart while she does Tae-Bo
Reminds me that there's a room to grow, hey, yeah

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as
Plain ol' Jane told a story about a man
Who was too afraid to fly, so he never did land

But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way?
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind?
Was it everything you wanted to find, and did you miss me
While you were looking for yourself out there?

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you
Even when I know you're wrong?
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze-dried romance
Five hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had, and me?

But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way?
And tell me, did you sail across the sun?
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that Heaven is overrated?
And tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?
One without a permanent scar, and then you miss me
While you were looking for yourself?

The Universe.

Condolences to his family and friends.

May his loved ones and friends be comforted by the memories they hold.

One of the few cancers that hasn’t had any real advances in treatment in the past twenty years. May nevergiveup rest in peace.

Battles with pancreatic cancer tend to be short, because by the time it is diagnosed, it is too far advanced to offer much hope.

RIP nevergiveup.

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of one with such a monicker. My dad died of pancreatic cancer, although his battle took 11 months.

I hope our ranks thin no further!

I can believe that he never DID give up. There are some battles where one just doesn't return victorious. It doesn't mean you didn't fight the good fight.

Pancreatic cancer is horrific
Deepest sympathy to his. Family and friends

RIP. 🙏

... and we won't.

This is a community. Every member's death diminishes me, for I am involved in this community.

Nevergiveup encouraged me more than once with replies to some of my maunderings. May memories of his love and care provide consolation and blessings to all who knew him.

respectfully,
Bright

💙

And we, our DU family, close ranks again.

💗💗💗🙏🏼💐💗💗

He is in a better place.

And peace of mind to the family

Rest in peace

sorry for his passing.

and in November we will hoist a to nevergiveup for 20 years of working to make this happen.

Sorry to hear that he’s gone. THANK YOU, nevergiveup, especially for your screen name. Every time you posted, you reminded us to keep the faith.

Fly high, friend.

And thanks, EarlG, for letting us know.

I always liked his DU name, nevergiveup. My condolences to his family and friends. Wishing them peace and comfort.

May his memory always be for a blessing.

and may his family and friends find strength and comfort in each other during this time.

We Won’t! Mahalo 🕯️🕊️

Heartfelt Sympathies to their family and loved ones.

That DU is considered a trusted safe space is a wonderful testament to every poster here. May nevergiveup rest in power.

To a fellow member of the Class of 2004

Pancreatic cancer is deadly. It took my younger brother a few years ago.

Cancer is so awful. Sending prayers.

Last year I lost a dear friend to pancreatic cancer. He had no symptoms (as per his wife with 50 years of experience as a nurse). He died five weeks after being diagnosed. I'm sorry that nevergiveup lost his battle. My condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

That disease is one of the worst!
Lost 2 people to it.
