I didn't want to make a new thread for this, but some interesting info has come out regarding the passing of Kidd Kraddick a few months ago. It turns out Kraddick had been diagnosed with cancer in 2009 and told only a very select few. This article is a great read about Kraddick's life and death. But in particular, I wanted to highlight this section.

Besides his friend Wilson, almost no one knew that Kraddick’s cancer diagnosis propelled him into a regimen of chemotherapy and radiation. He also began an aggressive round of stem-cell treatments that took a toll on his body. No matter how sick he was, though, Kraddick wasn’t going to miss Walt Disney World.

He had started Kidd’s Kids in 1991, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars, mostly on one day a year, in small donations from listeners, to send terminally and chronically ill children to the theme park. Wilson, as president of the charity, often accompanied Kraddick on the yearly trip. In 2010, as they arrived at the park, they were scheduled to meet some of the 250 mothers, fathers, and children to ride the Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster. But as soon as they stepped out of the van, Kraddick turned white.

“We’ve got a problem,” Kraddick said.

They ducked around a wall, and Kraddick began to vomit. Wilson wanted to flag down a van and take Kraddick back to the hotel, but Kraddick refused. He asked for a Sprite and breath mints. Wilson stashed plastic bags in his pocket and doled them out as Kraddick needed them. When they got to the roller coaster, there were about 25 kids waiting to ride with him.

“He gets on the roller coaster with them, rides it, comes off, grabs me, and throws up in the bushes for 20 minutes,” Wilson says. “Then he would go over to the Tower of Terror, yuk it up with all the kids, have a great time, then come grab me again. We did that the entire trip.”

That's just the kind of awesome guy he was. Cancer be damned--these kids are gonna have a good time. I'm really missing him all over again.

Nobody else will have such an impact on the world for decades after his death, I think. The AK-47 will be killing people a century from now, easily.

Can we get a 100 million gun salute going for him?
