Jeffrey McArthur passed away on Friday in Exton PA, aged 61.
Jeffrey was a gamer. Like the in game battles he so often engaged in, he also had a furious long battle with cancer, which only came back aggressively. His
last video. RIP old chap. See you on the other side.
This was the video:
Someone on SA wrote up this short blurb about him.
An avid gamer and geek through and through, Jeffrey was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer in December 2015 and came to our attention early in 2016 when he made a video asking if he "was too stupid to play Star Citizen", which resulted in him facing abuse from some of the more toxic members of the SC fanbase.
After undergoing surgery and chemotherapy, a CT scan in July 2016 showed his cancer to be gone, and he continued working and making many videos on his hobbies, gaming, computers, and Dungeons & Dragons.
In August this year, another CT scan showed his colon cancer had returned and spread, eventually metastasizing to his stomach. With a prognosis of only a 50% chance of surviving to the end of the year, Jeffrey decided not to undergo chemotherapy again, chosing to enjoy what time he had left to live without suffering the side effects that chemo had on his senses.
Jeffrey faced his death with immense grace and dignity, and I am very grateful to him for sharing his story with us along the way.
Rest in peace, Jeffrey.
