Yesterday was the funeral of my cousin, Luke Armstrong. He died on August 2nd and was 23 years old. He had been battling testicular cancer. Luke's cancer was diagnosed in June at stage 3. Because the testicular cancer cell is a week cancer cell the doctors were hopeful of a recovery. For a while he seemed to improve, but on Wednesday his heart gave out. I was not very close to him, but I will miss him.
Luke had taken courses in Veterinary Assistance Technology and was enrolled in the University of Nebraska at Kearney for this fall semester before the diagnosis. He was very excited about attending UNK and was planning to re-enroll this spring when his treatments were over. Luke loved animals and I won't ever think of him without thinking of his little dog Simon.
Rest in Peace Luke.
