in Kidney Cancer #1

Has anyone heard anything about Trevor?  I've been very worried because I haven't seen anything at all for quite awhile.  Please tell me he is doing better?

    I've wondered the same thing, Tillie.  Praying he's OK.

    The place ain't the same without him...

    About a month ago there was word from his daughter that he had been admitted to the hospital with acute renal failure, that he was gently fading, and that it was time to say our goodbyes.  There has been no word since that I am aware of.  Wherever he may be, I pray that he is at peace, I miss him.

    Heavy sigh...

    I too think of TW daily... but the lack of any info lead me to believe we have lost him some time ago...  it puts tears in my eyes, even as I type this..  I felt a closeness that I can not describe... Peace brother...

    It is very sad

    I just called his place of employment and they told me that several weeks ago Trevor James Powell passed away. I asked them to give the family the condolences from all CSN members who loved and respected him.

    Rest in peace dear Texas Wedge.

    Sad news

    Good Morning!

    Isn't it interesting that you feel as if you know people on the discussion boards, even though you have never met.  Obviously the closeness is due to the fact that we have a common, albeit terrible, bond of being in the RCC "family".  I read posts on this forum for several months before actually joining and always learned so much from TW's posts--about medical issues and about coping with the disease and all of its baggage.

    Such Sad News

    I haven't been on here for a while and this is the first message I see when I came on.  It is really such sad news that Tex has gone but his advice and wealth of information that helped a lot of us on here will go on for a very long time.  He did a lot for so many on this site which I for one will be forever grateful.  Rest In Peace Tex.

    I'll never be able to remember Scotland without thinking of Texas Wedge.  He was a source of information and inspiration to all of us.  May his spirit live long.  His heart was as big as Texas and his quest for knowledge regarding kidney cancer was just as large.  The fact that he could and did share with all of us endeared him to everyone.

    I'll toast you with Oban this evening, my friend.

    Wedgie and I joined this site about the same time. We shared our optimism and encouragement. He became a valuable friend. One of many from this forum. He will be missed. Love you my friend.

    Very Sad

    Tex was the first to make me realize cancer was not an overnight death.  He was kind, informative, and very confident about fighting the fight and not giving up.  Thanks Tex, much love to you and I will miss you terribly!

    I wish I could take this post

    I wish I could take this post back, asking if Tex was alright, because I really didn't want to hear that he was gone.  I'm so sorry for his family's loss and for our loss of a gruff, put up with no BS, loveable gentleman.  Damn!  I hate to hear this.

    by the time I joined, TW was

    by the time I joined, TW was quite ill and exhausted most treatments; what will stay with me as defining of his character was his repeated admonitions that his cancer was unusual and that his outcome should not cause anyone to become more fearful.

    a man who had endured what he had and who was facing death found the energy, attitude and care to think of others that he knew only through an online connection speaks volumes to his character.

    Thank you Alex for the

    Thank you Alex for the confirmation!  I knew in my heart he was gone, but did not want to accept it!  We all love Trevor and rightly so.  Our dear friend was so brave and uplifting right up into his end!  In fact, when he was told that there was nothing else that can be done, he took this very well and was very content with it. I will miss him greatly!  I know that I will see him again and that will keep me going!  He wants us all to be strong, keep fighting and keep being there for one another. 

    In Trevor's honor and memory, I have tried to link his picture to my name. This is the picture of the Owl he took and sent me not so long ago.  Each time we see it we will remember him and how the Owl was seen through his eyes!  I hope I uploaded it correctly so if we don't see it maybe someone can write me and let me know how to do it correctly.  That was one of the first emails i ever got from TW last year, telling me how to upload my pic!  Life will not be the same without Trevor.

    I pray for his family to be strong and hope they are well. Love you so much, Trevor, miss you terribly! Always in my heart!  XOOX  Thank you for all you have done for us all!
