  • Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman described him as "one of the strongest, bravest young men" when urging the community to lift him up in prayer.
  • Diagnosed in 2018 with a prognosis of just months to live, he has since survived 13 prior brain operations and defied the odds.
  • In late May, his father revealed that three new tumors had formed, complicating his ongoing treatment.
