St. Louis' Washington University is mourning the loss of basketball player Justin Hardy, who died on Sunday. He was 22.
"After 13 months of courageously redefining what it means to live with cancer, Justin passed peacefully early this morning, Sunday, May 29th," his father Bob Hardy announced on Twitter.
Hardy was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer in April 2021 and had been receiving treatment while competing on the school's basketball team. According to a statement from his family shared on a GoFundMe page, Hardy also graduated early from the university with a double major while undergoing treatment.

"This is me living my life regardless of the circumstances. If this isn't beating it, I don't know what is."
I remember seeing his story on ESPN earlier this year. Sad situation, seems like he had about as positive of an attitude as one could have when facing stage 4 cancer.
RIP.
Cancer sucks, at any age.

That's too young for someone to have to go through. Life just doesn't make sense sometimes.

WTF. Damn. I dont know the young man, but that freaking sucks.
Kudos to him, it did not stop him from living. He continued playing college basketball and even finihshed college.
But wow, the sheer horrible luck.
Cancer is probably one of the few things that genuinely scares me in life, simply because of how it happens so randomly to many people.

Double Major from WashU of all schools, while fighting cancer, while playing college basketball. Unbelievably impressive. His story will always be remembered.
