Brent Pope Cause of Death
Cancer is the Brent Pope cause of death. Pope said about his cancer diagnosis a few months back and he added,
On March 25, St. Joseph’s Hospital in Hamilton informed him that he had kidney cancer. He saw the doctor because of a cough, mild nausea, and blood in his urine. He was given the following diagnoses: kidney cancer and a urinary tract infection.
Pope sends an email to his teammates regarding his cancer and the message reads,
“I came out diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and Kidney Cancer, he said. My father passed 6 years ago from this exact health condition.
It’s scary, uncertain, and stunning considering I’m 49 and was given the all-clear from what I thought was a Prostate Cancer concern in 2021. The bottom line, I have a fight ahead. Hopefully, we caught it early enough and I can undertake a path to recovery. We pray.”
“So my words to you all are these;
– Tell those you love that you love them.
– Make sure you’re insured for Critical Illness and you have at least Term Life Insurance.
– If you have an instinct that things aren’t right healthwise get checked. Give yourself a fighting chance.
– Do your bucket list items asap. Nobody knows how much time we have left. Later never comes, do them now.
– Know your “why” and your life priorities and your peace will follow.
See you soon.
God Bless & Love,
Brent”
