“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” Godspeed, enjoy your family.

Hello, this is Sam, Jake’s brother.
He passed away peacefully last night. It was a merciful end to his suffering. Thank you all for your kindness. It meant everything to him.
The Story’s Story will live on, in some fashion, once we are doing picking up the pieces of our shattered hearts.
With love,
Sam
Well, I said I wouldn't write another update, but I feel as though Jake's supporters deserve to know.
He passed away last night, peacefully, in the loving arms of his wife. It was a merciful end to an inhuman amount of suffering.
Jake has detailed his wishes in his final website post here: https://jakeseliger.com/2024/08/04/starting-hospice-the-end/
He wanted me to tell you that your support meant everything to him. It kept him going, it kept him fighting, it kept him able to travel for clinical trials, and inspired him to try to make it for the birth of his daugther.
Unfortunately, the disease had other plans.
Thank you so very much.
