Jack Tyler Sundberg died on the 1st of June at approximately 6:20 AM. He was born on August 18th 2004. He was 3. He developed a Glioblastoma Multiforme brain tumor the summer/fall of 2007 and was diagnosed in November 2007. He fought an amazing battle with a smile and humor and did not want to leave us. He never complained of anything. He IS an amazing person and he lives on. Up until his final moments on Earth, Jack taught us all the unbreakable power of love and the tenacity of the human spirit. Many mourn that someone so young had to go through what Jack did. But as one close friend put it, "Jack lived a TON of life in three years." Truly, he did - and he touched more people in his short life than many aged people do. We give thanks to the Father that he now lives without cancer or pain in a care beyond our understanding. Jack is alive in spirit and with God. His body is buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery in Erie, PA.
The prayers of countless people around the world have been felt sincerely by all of us. Everyone who has followed Jack's story and supported us so faithfully has been a testament to the inherent goodness in humanity. We are thankful that we have had the opportunity to be shown it.
There were articles in the Erie Times News including the obituary which Jack's dad wrote with deep love and respect for his son. There was a Guest Book associated with his obituary through the Erie Times News. It has had many signings. You can read it here.
