Daniel Fleetwood, the ill Star Wars fan who got to see The Force Awakens a last week, has passed away. Per his wife Ashley on Facebook:
Daniel put up an amazing fight to the very end. He is now one with God and with the force. He passed in his sleep and in peace. He will always be my idol and my hero. Please hug uncle Marc for me and give Lucy lots of kisses. Rest in peace my love.
Ashley is still raising money for Daniel’s medical bills on GoFundMe. The fund is now up to $57K – more than half of what’s needed.
RIP to this great fan… you are now at peace. may his wife and family be at peace. Thanks to Disney, Lucasfilm, JJ Abrams ect,..for letting him see this movie in his last days.. this is why Star Wars and the fandom is so awesome and I am proud to be a fellow fan. RIP Daniel, the force will be with you….always.
