Just tragic
I can't even try to imagine what it must be like for lose your child. So ****ing sad.
Wasn't it Bo thar helped orchestrate that special play, back n in the day? One of his finest hours.
It totally caught on too. Other schools would do similar things, it was really amazing.
Thought and Prayers to his family. Truly sad day.
It sucks bad and there are no words.
Damn.. What years he had sounds like he made the best of them.
🙏🏼 R.I.P Jack.

It wasn’t Bo’s idea but it was proposed to him and he agreed to it. Support staff set it up.
Cancer certainly sucks. My wife has devoted much of her later working life to finding cures through research. So much so that she has named her dogs Hope and Faith.
Thoughts and prayers with that family. Very difficult last 20 years.

Rest in Peace young Jack. This just seems so unfair. The wife works in the oncology unit at the Children’s Hospital here in STL. Those kids are fighters and my heroes. Jack is my hero.
Rex should get most of the credit here. He was heavily involved with Jack and his family.
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 Hoffman dies after battle with cancer
Jack Hoffman, one of the Huskers' biggest fans and a beacon of hope for many across the United States, has died of cancer.

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.
Damn this sucks. Rest in peace Jack. You fought hard. And you inspired us all.
Might I suggest for those of us that have Husker flags that we fly on game days…let’s fly them tomorrow for Jack and his family.

Nebraska fan Jack Hoffman dies of cancer at 19
Jack Hoffman, the young Nebraska football fan who ran for a touchdown during the 2013 Cornhuskers' spring game and became a catalyst for pediatric brain cancer fundraising, died Wednesday after a 14-year battle with cancer. He was 19.
Flying a Husker flag in honor of Jack is a great idea.
Watching that video of Jack's TD was more than I could handle emotionally today.

I just heard that he passed. I searched for anything else to provide info and couldn't find anything. So, I posted it anyways. I knew how this board felt about Jack. I'm sad with the news along with everyone else.
My late wife had aggressive ovarian cancer at 14. She wasn't supposed to make it. Through chemo and surgery, she went into remission. Lots of health issues throughout her life and then it came back as a mutation when she was 40. It is what it is.
