I'm not sure who all knows but ... Benjamin Coleman (Craig)
Is in his final days with his battle against stage IV pancreatic cancer. He is at home with hospice. We're trying to keep his pain under control in his last days here on Earth. He's been a fighter, went through a year of chemo and radiation and that kept the tumor in the pancreas at Bay but then he had a separate cancer come up in the lungs. A couple of months ago. May 30 the scan showed progression of those tumors and enlargement of lymph nodes and the doctor called for no more treatment. He went home with hospice then but was doing relatively well until this past Wednesday when he his pain became uncontrollable. His wife decided to waive the hospice and take him to the hospital. We had another scan done and it showed that the cancer in the pancreas had metastasized everywhere is in the liver on the lungs and all of the tumors have increased in size. So they got his pain under control with a nerve block and sent him home. So we are now taking it day by day. He's not really able to talk on the phone but his wife Chrissy is reading his text to him so if y'all want to send him a message on messenger or through the phone if you have his number she or I will make sure he gets it! Y'all all know he played hard and loved hard so it is very difficult to see him like this but God's will! Love you all and I know he does too!
Summary. He's in his final days on earth. He is on nerve blockers now with hospice. He loved his poli board people and any prayers for him and his family would be much appreciated.
Edited. Ben has passed away. He will be sorely missed.
Gofundme to help Crissie with funeral expenses.

I haven't been feeling very well myself and am in a very emotional state
I have been crying nonstop since this prognosis. He has been a very good friend to me and everyone that I know that has ever been a part of his life has nothing but positive experiences with Ben. He's been an angel on earth for so many.

Prayers for him and his family.

I pray he receives the forgiveness and love of Jesus Christ if he hasn't already. So sad to hear about his status, but God's will is perfect and this is his time to go. I hope it's with as much peace and comfort as possible.

Soon enough, BenColeman will be having a grand time being forever surrounded by the eternal golden sunlight of God's presence.
We're hoping his departure from this world will be as painless and peaceful as it can be.

I know we would have been buddies had we ever met in person.
Hunting, fishing and just living the life God gave us.
You came to my defense when I was a newbie poster on the PT and I will forever be grateful to call you my friend.
Prayers my Brother.

Well I only had a few message exchanges here and traded a couple of emails with Ben but I pray that he transitions to his home with the Lord in a God-given peaceful manner! Best wishes to a great and inspirational guy!
