John McCain, the longtime senator and 2008 GOP presidential candidate who refused to leave fellow prisoners of war behind to escape years of torture in Vietnam, and whose maverick streak as Arizona’s senior statesman at times frustrated fellow Republicans and confounded President Donald Trump, has died, his family confirmed in a statement Saturday.
He was 81and had been diagnosed with brain cancer in July 2017.
McCain had decided to discontinue medical treatment for the glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, his family announced on Aug. 24. He had surpassed expectations for his survival, but "the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict," the statement said.

Don’t worry....it’s coming I’m sure.
Hope he repented before the Grim Reaper reaped his harvest of McCain’s soul.
If you can’t say anything nice about someone then don’t say anthing. Therefore I have no comment on McCain’s passing.
Maybe the family will cremate him and dump his ashes into the Tijuana River!

O God of spirits and of all flesh,
You have trampled down death
and have abolished
the power of the devil,
giving life to Your world.
Give rest to the soul
of Your departed servant John
in a place of light,
in a place of repose,
in a place of refreshment,
where there is no pain,
sorrow, and suffering.
As a good and loving God,
forgive every sin he has committed
in thought, word or deed,
for there is no one who lives
and is sinless.
You alone are without sin.
Your righteousness
is an everlasting righteousness,
and Your word is truth.
For You are the resurrection,
the life
and the repose of Your departed servant John
Christ our God,
and to You we give glory,
with Your eternal Father
and Your all holy,
good and life-giving Spirit,
now and forever and to the ages of ages.
I did a big fart at the same time t was announced,

Agreed, and let this post be understood on FR.

Do not appoint the fecking wife.
Probably the only really useful thing he did.
Corrupt fool.
You should always say good things about the dead.
John McCain is dead. Good!
Not going to celebrate.
Not going to mourn.
I hope McCain made his peace with God.
That is all.
