It’s done. “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” II Timothy 4:7 NKJV Damian Michael Wroblewski Jr. did just that on his cancer journey. Today he can rest peacefully in the company of Jesus Christ in God’s Kingdom. When asked how he would like to be remembered, he answered: “Happy.” So, when you think of him, smile. He brought joy into this world from the moment he was born. He joked and laughed often. Throughout his cancer journey, he found smiles and reasons to be happy. When we close our eyes, Kara and I can hear all of his different laughs from a baby to a teen. Junior constantly thought of others saying, “maybe this can help another kid in the future” with regard to his clinical trial treatment and research fundraising. He told other kids with cancer to “keep living and have fun no matter what.” We can all help with raising awareness and funds for pediatric brain tumor research. It needs more. Help a kid if you can. Give whatever you can. That’s what Junior did. As sad as we are, we are even more proud of our son and how he lived. His faith in Christ Jesus is inspirational, bravely living with faith over fear(Psalm 34:4) and putting all his worries in God because He loves us (1 Peter 5:7). He loved going fast, running and racing. Whenever we wanted him to do something, we’d make it a race. The only race we ever wanted him to lose to us was going to heaven. Just like when we went skiing, he beat me. We will see you when we get there. We love you Champ. Damian Michael Wroblewski Jr. August 2, 2008 - June 22, 2024
