Prayer Request for Flyer (Update: Sadly, Flyer has passed away)

In early May of this year, our dear friend Flyer was diagnosed with a brain tumor and lung cancer. The doc’s told him the tumor was not curable, but treatable. His understanding of the lung cancer was that it was minor (if there is such a thing).

Several weeks ago Flyer finished radiation. Tuesday was his first chemo treatment. Friday he was feeling bad, but did not want to go to the hospital. His brother finally called an ambulance Saturday morning to take him to the ER.

A few minutes ago Eaker, myself and Roger (Flyer’s brother) returned from the hospital. The news is not good.

The lung cancer has spread rapidly. Flyer only has use of one lung. He is on constant oxygen, and his breathing is still labored. Because of the cancer and tumor his immune system cannot keep up, now he has a major infection in his left leg. They are giving him antibiotics thru an IV

The doctors told the three of us that Flyer does not want any heroic measured taken. Right now his care instructions are to keep him hydrated and comfortable.

For those wondering why a prayer thread was not started earlier, it is because Flyer did not want one ~ several friends asked if they could start one, and he said ‘no there are others who need prayers more that I’.

It truly breaks my heart to type the following words, our good friend and a wonderful man will soon die. I am asking you to please pray for Flyer’s comfort.

[rep-always]

My prayers are with him.

I'm at a loss for word's, FRiend.

At least God will understand my thoughts, even if I can't express them.

[Lazamataz]

DAMN! I miss ya pal!

Job 12:10 ~ "In His hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind."

Unto You, O Lord, we return with thanksgiving that You are Sovereign. There is none like unto thee, O Lord, and it is to You we bring our petitions for Flyer in his hours of need. Bring comfort to his body and peace to his soul, that he might look with confidence to all that You have for him.

We pray that Your healing hand would be upon him, that he would rise up again in health, for with You, all things are possible. Yet we know that our times are in Your hand, and when called to Your side, may Flyer enter eternity in peace and comfort. Surround him in these hours with love and understanding and with the calm assurance that eternal joy awaits.

In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray, Amen ...

"It is going to take you all morning just to deliver the hugs we've asked you to send."

I was thinking the same exact thing.

My prayers are with Flyer, as well as his family and
friends.

Wow. God's peace, comfort, and strength be with you, Flyer.

[Dog Gone]

This is the first I've heard of this, Flyer, and I'm in shock. God bless you and keep you in the coming days.

Words fail me. Bad stuff happens to good people, yet it seems so wrong. May you be as comfortable as possible secure in the knowledge that we'll see you on the other side. I am in tears. Be strong, my friend.

Prayers to the Father...
Prayers for Flyer...
Prayers in Jesus name...

Dear Father,
I ask for the miraculous for Flyer. Your son was held high on that cross for his sake. Care for him and keep him. Yes heal him in Jesus name.

Prayers for peace and comfort for Flyer to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.(Eph. 3:20)

[JZelle]

Prayers sent!

[AnnaZ]

Abundant prayers for you, Flyer, for healing and comfort and peace. Prayers also for those who love you and worry about you, though we must worry not, for God has his plans, and they are greater than ours.

Seek peace, it is the best that any of us can hope for. Seek our Father's face, it is the greatest thing that we can ever hope to see. Seek heaven, it's as good as it can get after Texas.

Dear Lord in Heaven, I lift Flyer up to You and pray that You make Your presence known to him. I ask for healing, if it be Your will. Comfort him as well as his family and friends. Guide the doctors who are treating him. Father, I also pray that he holds You close to his heart and that one day his eternal home will be with You in heaven. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

Prayers sent for Flyer and his family.

[thackney]

Thank you.

[Rightfootforward]

Flyer, you'll always be our first FReeper friend. You greeted us before anyone else did at a Support the Troops Rally years ago. Haven't forgotten you, nor will we.

Many prayers coming your way. We're with you in spirit, kind man. We're with you.

RFF and David

I am saddened by the news and will pray for him. This is especially sad because it was only back in May that we were all together having a great time. Please remember me to Flyer and send him my best wishes.
