Rest in peace to the man who has inspired, encouraged, helped so many with sharing his story, Xan Harwood-Karlik. His strength and courage of his battle with stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer was so admirable. During his treatments, he would make me laugh by telling jokes during the transfusions until he would get sleepy towards the end. He was strong and never complained about his circumstance. He is loved by so many. If you knew him or knew someone that he inspired, please feel free to share your story below.


I want everyone to know that on my last visit with Xan, he was at peace with everything. Even staring the end in the face, he had the most amazing strength about it. He had no fear. He was okay and wanted everyone around him to be happy and okay, too. Truly THE HULK in this life, and the next. Forever in our hearts and always on the water with this great community.


If you are unfamiliar with Xan's story, please feel free to check out the links below:

Thank you in advance for the shared stories.


REST IN PEACE, HULK!
