dutchy Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Members of the brotherhood of the MEPD. Recently one of my garrison's newest members was diagnosed with cancer. At first they thought he would make it. He has had chemo and other treatments but sadly his type of cancer is a very rare and aggressive one. The doctors have told him that he has a month to go and that month is almost over. The thing that struck me the most is that he's 23 years old and his life is about to end. So I am wondering, could we show our support to him as the brotherhood that we are. Maybe by posting something in his facebook wall. I could do that on behalf of all of us. If you would like to send him a pm on facebook his name is Royd Leeman, TK 11132. Let me know troops! dutchy out... I've made post on his wall on behalf of the whole MEPD to show our support!!

ghoulcinder@hotmail.co.uk Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 That's a very very sad story, I've read about his story on the AD, where his Football club showed him support and sung and cheered. I wasn't aware he's also a member of the 501st, I do think the least we could do is to post something on his wall indeed. I'm hoping he'll have a wonderful time still, and strength to him and his family and friends!Thank you very much for making aware of this Justus!

dutchy Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Thanks for your reply Bas. Funny you've read the article in the AD( for all the non dutch members, it's a dutch newspaper). Still the subject is very saddening, but he is having a wonderful time at the moment. He has gotten married in the meanwhile and is only doing things that cheer him up.

dutchy Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Yes! I've made a post on his wall in the meantime. I don't want to wait with this any longer.. Here you have the link troops: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=764347223614163&set=p.764347223614163&type=1&theater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlineJeff Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 https://www.facebook.com/internetwarrior123?fref=ts Looks like we will have to add him as a friend to make a post. Maybe we could use #TK11132 on Facebook, twitter, instagram, etc and tell him to keep an eye on the hash tags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghoulcinder@hotmail.co.uk Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 You have to add him indeed. Jeff's idea is good as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghoulcinder@hotmail.co.uk Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I think it would indeed arrive too late, I suppose it depends on which country it's coming from. The picture is great Justus, I'm sure he'll appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlineJeff Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Got any pics of him trooping? It was be cool if the 501st would tweet it and post it on their Facebook feed with "you'll never walk alone" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchy Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Yeah, he passed away. This was a battle that he couldn't win. The news hit me like a brick in the face. He was a big fan of the soccer club of ADO- the Hague and the supporters honored him in the 23rd minute of the match by applauding for him for 60 seconds. The players have showed their support as well. RIP ROYD, we will never forget you brother! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
