My uncle passed away last night from a rapid and aggressive cancer. His name was Mark Shuey and those who grew up on the South-End of Lexington in the late 70s-early 80s might have known him or the rest of the Shuey clan. His son, Spencer, was recruited by UK Football for a while but ended up choosing to play for Clemson. He posted on the old board a bit under then name Shuey4UK (I think) and was a die-hard Big Blue fan. He was a warm, jovial, and loving man, who cherished his children and family members dearly and will be greatly missed.
It's incredible how fast the cancer took him. In Sept, he goes to the doctor complaining of chest pains, an MRI scan showed nothing. By late Oct.-early Nov. things have gotten worse and the doctor orders another MRI. This time the MRI shows dozens of cancer spots around the Thymus. More detailed scanning in mid-November shows the cancer is terminal with the cancer having spread throughout his entire body. He opted to die with dignity rather than prolong the inevitable and passed away this morning at 3:17am. He was still lucid enough yesterday to meet with various siblings and family members before he passed.
