Jack Hoffman has passed

I’ve done the cancer shuffle and so far looking good five years after treatments. But I am an old fart and can’t live forever so I don’t worry much about it.

But losing a young husband and young child is a different deal. Unimaginable.
Best wishes for you. Hope you stay cancer free

Childhood cancer has to be the worst. They kids are cheated out of so much and they rarely get to know what feeling good is. Watching those st Jude commercials etc make me so thankful that my kids and grandkids are healthy....knock on wood
 
Jack and that family really touched Nebraska and its people and those outside of the Husker family and fandom. I hope to God something positive comes from the research they helped raise dollars for and their losses can have some of the sting fade some day. Prayers to his family.

This is a crushing day for Husker Nation. Keeping Jack and his father in my prayers. Please pray for Jack’s mother and siblings.

I have his football card sitting amongst my Nebraska memorabilia.

Maybe Nebraska fans can consider making a donation to Team Jack in his honor. I will make a donation tonight.

Losing a child is the absolute worst soul-crushing thing that could happen. When I was around 30 a good friend lost is 12 y/o son to a car-bike accident. I tried talking to my friend for hours and hours afterwards but he just wasn't there. Became an alcoholic, addict, divorced and disappeared. Some people can tap a well of strength and move on with life. He just couldn't. I'll say a novena for his mom because Jack doesn't need my prayers. He's finally pain and worry free.
