  • Randy never lost battle to cancer. Cancer took his life, but his spirit will always live on in everyone he inspired.

  • I watched this last year in my precalc class... like below vv idk what it had to do with the class, but I am glad we watched it.

  • Very sad. We are watching his last lecture, and taking notes in Active Physics. Not sure what it has to do with the class, but its still interesting, and he sure has a bright attitude for someone who's days were numbered. Good work Randy, and rest in peace.

  • @foolofaguyinlove And it isn't as though he wasn't this way BEFORE he knew of his death, right?

    It isn't as though death hit him with the sense of urgency of how best to make use of his time left, rather than squander it away, mindlessly.

    He was ALWAYS the man we saw, when diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.

    He was the real deal.

    Nothing short of a divine inspiration.

  • This man is MY KINDA' GUY. He's as cool as it gets, to be honest. If all of you are in question, THIS is "COOL". I mean, the man knew of his imminent/impending death, and he was not phased in the least. Not just THAT, but he was OUT HAVING FUN, during such times. How much cooler can you GET, really? I mean he's a cool person in terms of his CHARACTER AND calm. Wow. Seriously. WOW. What a marvelously cool guy. I am only TOO happy to respect his entire being.
  • @tuzmor Beautiful.

    BEAUTIFUL.

    CANNOT agree MORE.

  • Reminds me of the song " Live Like You Are Dying "

  • @ those who feel their relatives died of cancer proves there is no god. God gave us free will, man created the things that cause cancer, god gives us a cure for cancer, the FDA makes it illegal

  • Pancreas = success, he must have secretly felt like a failure.

    Not so shocking (lol)

  • "I'm dieing and I am having fun and I am gonna keep having fun every day I have left"- Dr. Randy Pauch
