As I stand here 7 years quit and reflect on the impact that Randy had on my quit and apparently many others I am proud of his legacy and I know he would be happy about helping others avoid his fate. He believed in the mission of Killthecan.org and their ability to help so many from the enslavement of tobacco. His death at age 49 was not in vain.

Here on the second year mark of Randy losing his life to tobacco, I am proud to be quit with all of you. Stay quit it's life or death.
Kylos! Good to see you, bro.

Randy's story is something that I will never forget.
There but by the grace of God go I.

We all opened the door for this into our lives. We all knew what we were doing but let our addiction convince us that we would be safe. Many lost close family members to tobacco, I lost my dad and grandpa, but still continued to look the other way.

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm damn sorry for Randy's family's loss. But you keeping this story alive in here helps others. This is a fight for life and death. God bless.

Randy died last night. His suffering has passed and he is at peace with God. I hope and I know Randy hoped, that people would take this story as motivation to remain tobacco free and strengthen their quit. I would like to thank anyone who has posted thoughts or prayers for Randy, I know they meant a lot to him during his fight against cancer.

Stay quit... it is life or death and that is the undeniable truth.

"CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit. After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco."
