I'm sorry. I didn't see this thread and posted a separate thread asking for prayers.

Mine have been sent.

Many prayers for him. Much respect to Stevens for skipping the game for him.

F*** cancer.

One of my favorite games from Andrew: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXxQtdUwVY0. Note the tremendous play at 1:12 and how few f***s Stevens gave.


Saw that on the XH board from irishdawg. Prayers offered already. And I'm terribly sorry to learn that it turned in this direction.

God bless him.

Wow, that's tough to read. You have to feel for the entire Family. Anyone who has lost someone to cancer knows how tough things get. Prayers to the family and all hope that the prayers work!

Hoping that the young man finds peace and the family can also. Prayers for all of them and their friends too.

Andrew passed away this morning.

Samantha Smith ‏@Samantha44Smith 18m18 minutes ago Indianapolis, IN
Andrew peacefully passed away in his sleep and in my arms as I told him I loved him this morning. Love you always, Smith.
