He had said, “So it’s been a month of tremendous revelation and rebirths in my life as I was told around Easter (2020) that I had a large mid-stage kidney tumor/cancer, and on May 3rd (2020), I had a very successful surgery remove about 90 per cent of the tumor. I am now home resting, reborn, and learning to live again.
“I am beyond grateful to my amazing family and lifelong friends, that stepped up to relentlessly wage the spiritual and physical battles needed to support me through this.”
