Very Sad News My Brothers and Sisters

I recently found out that a beloved member of ELR has lost his battle with cancer and has passed from this earthly plain.

@worm1 has passed away on Jan.26th I have had many interactions with him and shared vape gear and concentrates for years now. Even though I never met him in person I called him friend. I call a lot of you friends and it isn’t just a word to me. If I call you friend then friend you are.

I heard this over on Vaping Community in a PM. @SthrnMixer thanks for letting us know.

I doubt he will come over and give us more info. So, does anybody else know anything?

I thought I would start off by saying Jesse (@worm1 ) was a kind man. I wanted an RDA that I didn’t have the money for and the next thing ya know I have a new package in my mail box. It was the RDA I wanted and he sent it to me not expecting anything in return. I’m glad I still have that RDA and now I think I’ll keep it until it’s my turn.

Rest in Peace @worm1 you will be missed

:cry:

Jesse ‘Worm’ Thomas was a one-off for sure - always willing to help others with advice or gear. He loved his mechs and his dog but most of all his family.

I hadn’t spoken to Jesse in a while and am super sad to hear of his passing he was a great asset to the community and a great friend.

RIP Jesse
A few years back

RIP Jesse. I never you but praying for your friends and family.
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4

I was in contact with jesse all thru this it started over a year ago when he vaped he said he got heart burn so never seen about it well after a year he had a hard time swallowing food and drinks. So he went to hospital he was diagnosed with throat cancer.

He then began treatments of Chemo and radiation for 8 weeks he was tube feed all thru this as he could not pass food due to mass in throat…

well after a few weeks after treatments he tells me he is in a nursing home I then thot oh boy this is not good they are just making him comfy Well later on he finds out it has spread to his hip area had a mass there also he told me he was just skin an bones now since all he was fed was by tube

then he complained about his back hurting bad but did not say it was cancer or not but it did spread to his bones he said

so at this point i knew this was not good we just humored him when he came online talked about every day things and i was in the process of making him some CBD ointment to apply to his hurting areas

then there was no contact he was not online for a bit …so after like 3 weeks i wrote his parents an ask how he was never got a reply so thinking the worse I did a search in the local papaes there in the Obits and there he was. I knew for some reason this was going to happen My jaw dropped and i had a heart ache …

this is the obit
