Thank you for the updates. I have terminal lung cancer and I have been on a 3 year holiday. But the cancer is back and I have to start chemo Wednesday. Dan has given me the strength to fight and the courage to face the cancer head on. Bless you and your family for taking care of Dan
Yes Dear Steve. Keep us posted on your progress! Thank you for sharing your experience. I wish you peace and blessings. You are doing great considering. I love that you are on a continual holiday! 🙏🏾✌🏾💚
@@SteveJaye84 I'm sorry for Dan's family and all of his friends like you, left behind. He did so much good on earth and now he will bring us joy, consolation and for those of you who knew him in a way that I didn't memories from heaven. The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord lift His countenance upon you and give you peace.
I just heard Dan went to his Heavenly home. Sending love and hugs and praying fo g Gods comfort and peace for all the thousands who love him. He is healed now.
Thank you so much, John, for being such a wonderful brother to Dr. Dan and for keeping his community here on TH-cam informed. My heart and my prayers are going out to you and your wonderful family as you grieve his passing. Your brother got me through a very, very dark period in my life and he never even knew what an impact he had made and what hope for the future he gave me. I first lost my Dad, then my Mom, and then, my only sibling, my brother, who was 7 years older than I am (he was the only one who passed from cancer - he got a clean bill of health with lab studies AND a chest x-ray in September 2022, went on a 3-week vacation to Colorado with friends, and came back feeling pretty cruddy - he thought it was just bronchitis, so he went to the ER, where they saw something concerning enough to admit him and get a CT scan - so, after a clean chest x-ray the month before, my brother was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer - his type of lung cancer is considered the most aggressive kind of lung cancer - apparently, those experts are not exaggerating at all either because after the clean bill of health one month, one month later he had Stage IV lung cancer in BOTH lungs that had already spread to his liver, pancreas, and to his brain (three large cancerous lesions already in his brain) even though they also confirmed it was the type of lung cancer he had was his primary cancer - it just immediately apparently spread all over his body. From the day we got the diagnosis confirmed in a meeting with the oncologist, he was told no treatment would work at this point - it was too far advanced and the oncologist said at best he would have 3-5 weeks remaining to live - from diagnosis until his death was barely even 6 weeks. The month after losing my brother and my Mom the year before my brother's passing, and losing Dad a few years before Mom's death, I got a phone call from my very best friend's daughter telling me that her Mom was discovered by her little granddaughter in her bedroom slumped over her desk where she had been sitting at the computer - cause of death was determined to be a massive heart attack, although she had had no history of heart disease or high blood pressure. She and I were true sisters from different mothers since we were 17 years old until she passed. Her parents were my second parents and vice versa for her with my parents. Needless to say (sorry for being so long-winded), at the time I stumbled upon your brother's You Tube channel and coinciding from depressing news about my own physical health issues, I was feeling pretty emotionally and psychologically literally beaten into a pulp. I was lost, questioning whether even I wanted to go on living, and the extreme loneliness set in. Your brother's videos gave me moments of clarity and true confidence in myself that my life not only would continue on, but I should fight like hell to keep going on too and to be grateful for every moment. If I had one piece of advice to give you and your family as you navigate the treacherous waters of grief, it would be one thing that my Dad's hospice nurse shared with my Mom and I the day of his passing - Do not make any life-altering decisions for at least one year following your loss - no over-the-top spending, no seeking out relationships for the sake of not being lonely or thinking that another could fill the gaping hole where your heart once resided, no buying houses, no moving away from the place you've felt safe and comfortable in during the time before your brother's diagnosis, treatments of all kinds, going on hospice/palliative care, and passing away - just say no and concentrate on healing - find a grief support group (or maybe a You Tube channel - ha ha), see a therapist/counselor to help you get through the bad spots and to cheer you on in the better spots, and if you are spiritual/religious, try to find a church that feels like a church FAMILY, not a church of people who just show up on Sundays and avoid each other the rest of the time - invest your time in accomplishing that. I will keep you all in my prayers and please, sir, keep streaming to your brother's community and not just for our benefit, but not only can the group be helpful in your grieving practice for you personally, you may also make some of the most incredible people in the world as well - I know I have.
The singing brought me to tears. So grateful Dan has you and his wonderful parents to comfort him at this time. He is almost done with the journey, almost to his Heavenly home. Keeping all of you in my heart and prayers. Thank you much for the update.
You and Dr. Dan look a lot alike! From watching Dr Dan Says the last few years I also picked up on the same mannerisms! Sending love to the entire Bockmann family.
You're all lucky to have each other, thanks for caring for your brother with the selflessness that ALL of us should care for each other with. Isn't it amazing how strong we can all be when we have to!
❤ blessings to the Bockmann family... AMAZING GRACE! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see. ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; ’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. The Lord has promised good to me, His Word my hope secures; He will my Shield and Portion be, As long as life endures. Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, who called me here below, Will be forever mine. When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we’d first begun.
Father God I lift Dr Dan to the throne of grace and ask that your will be done and that you strengthen the family and give them peace. In Jesus name Amen.
Thank you for the update John. I just posted the link to this video to Dan’s channel. My thoughts are with you John. I saw my sister go through this at 62 ( she was already too far gone with her pancreatic cancer). She was hospitalized in palliative care unit after 4 months of trying to get to try palliative chemo. I’m glad Dan is surrounded by his loving family. I recall being like you at the time. Love nurses and palliative doctors and nurses. That song is beautiful. My loving thoughts are with your entire family. ❤️🙏❤️
Thank you, Anne . When you sent the link to John I got it, and then I tried to go back to you to say thank you but didn't find you till now. I'm really not tech savvy at all like all of you sorry. But I did say that someone kindly had forwarded to us who couldn't see it. Next I'm sorry for your loss and having to relive it. I haven't said on here till now. My grandmother went to heaven from pancreatic cancer as well i was young but i rememberwhat my mom went through. . I go for regular mri and CT and other scans . When they scared me once saying they see something on my liver and on the tail end of my pancreas my mom was still here. .Till we found out the the liver was just alot of hemangiomas .not cancer as of yet .The pancreas has growth but as of all these years hasn't changed, so there being watched. I have a rare disease it's not cancer but they use some cancer meds and other meds but only 2 in a million have. I believe more but I think they passed after there stroke I didn't. So I'll be on treatments till the treatments dont work. I'm one of the longer living ones . I started I think in 2010. Till we decided which treatments we were going to do. But over the years I've gotten kinda worse.plus injuries car accidents, that's actually how I found dr Dan. Was for help. I lived on steroids and anti rejection drugs till we put me on what I'm now doing. So I truly am sorry and I can empathize with you going through. I was praying daily still am Dr Dan would have come through this . Now I pray for no pain and piece. Plus for the family. So thank you again as I'm only on youtube so I won't see if posted somewhere else. Godbless take care .❤🐼
@@PinkMauveMonkeyThank you Rita. To be fair another panda posted about the way to reach John. I just posted the links . I’m sorry for what you went through. I do not have time to write much but I believe that someone will post updates on Dan’s page (it’s already begun) as we find our more on John’s X channel. Be well. Love, Anne ❤️🥰🐼🥰❤️
@annerenaud3828 Thank you, Anne. I'm sorry for you too. Will you repost again to be able to see what John says possibly? Do you mean Dr. Dan has started now. ? Im so very sad such a good man. But I'm praying he has a beautiful welcome. I've asked God my mom and others, but I'm sure he'll have many. Hope to hear from you. Take care, Panda family love Rita❤️🐼🦋
@@PinkMauveMonkey Updates have already begun by people on his channel. As for Dan, it is my understanding that he will be leaving this earth soon. However, let’s take comfort in the fact that he is surrounded by the love of his family and carried by all of our prayers/thoughts/positive vibrations🫶🐼❤️🙏❤️🐼🫶
@annerenaud3828 Thank you again, Anne 🩷. I do take comfort as I hope you and all the Panda family and Dr. Dan, beautiful family, do too. I think because I'm not feeling so good and so upset, it might just be making me more emotional than I am usually. I haven't been able to deal with my mom in heaven very well.. But she has been sending me signs. I'm not a very religious person ,I was very honest about that. i do pray alot though and I definitely believe in God and heaven and angels. Even if some want to make fun of me. I really wish the particular trolls would stop at least while we have to say, "See you later to Dan. Now someone is pretending to be liz apologizing, but it's not her. it's someone else. So nobody really ever knows who is at the other end i guess, unless you see them. Thats so sad.( I don't know why they targeted me when so many were saying the same as me ? who they are even) I don't even know who the person is that has been so kind to me trying to protect me or why.or if they know me. I know I go back and forth on Dr or Just Dan. I don't want to disrespect, but I feel like He's also Dan to us because he said we were also his friends. We're his embarrassment of pandas.I believe he meant that. Really, panda family. My heart is breaking for John. I think there is another brother mark? For Tyler, who just found out reconnected. Panda Mama and Panda Dad , Tracey, Jessica, there's so many I'm sure this is really hurting our hearts. Though I know he will not be in pain anymore, and I believe there is no sickness or pain in heaven, and you get to be restored to the time in life you want to be . I know, sounds crazy. I have all different thoughts because I know my mom has been around me a certain form she'll pop up when I really need or unexpectedly to let me know she's watching over me . Sorry, I'm rambling. I wake and sleep a lot . Than try to get some things done between. I hope I know when to change my prayers. I hope they're all together in a room of love. I don't even know why you are being so kind and taking time for me.. But I really do appreciate it. Love Rita 🐼🦋🪻🐱🙏💔🩷
what an awesome brother My Bible devotion this am was on Jacob and Esau. Beautiful song and memory. God cover and carry you all. Praying for you all and sending much love ❤️
Thank you for the update. Can’t imagine going through what you are facing and then coming on TH-cam. You are a very strong person. Absolutely beautiful prayer and song. 🙏
Thank you for updating! Like many, I have been following Dan's story for a while now and feel as if I'm standing vigil for a dear family member - not just some guy on the internet. I've been in your shoes twice now; caring for a loved one through hospice to transition. It's so very difficult and though I'm not religious, I do think about you and your parents throughout the day and wish all of you strength, peace, and presence.
Thank you for the update, John! I just praise the Lord for His grace and mercy! While I don't know your family personally, I am privileged to pray for each of you as a sister in Christ. While this is sorrowful, you have the assurance that Dr. Dan will have a glorified body with no pain and suffering. But the best blessing is that he will be with Jesus for ALL eternity! ❤
Said a prayer on my walk. I thought of Dr Dan and how he walked a lot in the months where he didn't have the stamina for hearty exercise. Praying for comfort for your mom! We are learning from you all and how to handle the hard things at the end of life-+.
Just a huge blessing your brother has.....when the Lord sent you!!!!! Whisper....he hears, he knows. Thank YOU!!!!! May the Lord bless and keep you also!!!!!!!!
I just posted the link to Dan’s channel. My thoughts are with you John. I saw my sister go through this. She was hospitalized in palliative care unit after 4 months of trying to get to try palliative chemo. I’m glad Dan is surrounded by his loving family. I recall being like you at the time. Love nurses ans palliative doctors and nurses. ❤️🙏❤️
So glad to get an update . Soo sad ! I loved that nice man. He does not deserve this.😢May the Lord Bless and keep him! You are a wonderful Brother. Bless you!!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Thank you John. Tracy here from Canada. Please reach out to us for support. I lost my mom at 17 plus 3 best friends to cancer. I am 55 and a two time cancer survivor. I hope you are able to find comfort .
John you are a wonderful brother and father. Anyone would be blessed. You touch our hearts with your efforts and kindness. Our love to Dan as he winds down, a natural human process. Dan showed us real courage and touched so many hearts. God Bless Him, You and your Family.
Hi John I’m just now seeing this but thank u, thank u, thank u! I know this has to be so hard talking about Dan’s progress. My sister and I went through all of this with my sister. Much love to Dan and all of u. I was so hoping during this journey there would be something that would put Dan in remission. Thanks for that beautiful song. You have a beautiful voice.
John…..you are an amazing man……I started watching this channel last Oct when my wife who is 54 years old was diagnosed with a glioblastoma brain tumour. She is in the last year of her life and I honestly don’t know how I’m going to get through the last days. From what I know of myself I’m not the caregiver that you and your family seem to be. You guys are in my prayers everyday, and I just ask God to fill you and your family with the Holy Spirit to give you the strength and peace in your hearts to carry out Gods will. God bless!
@@starfishcoffee8933 Thanks you so much for taking the time to write the words that you did! I have been finding that anyone you can talk with and listen to is good therapy. I have copied and pasted your reply and will read it daily as I do with others. You have given me a peace this morning my friend…… again …..thank you, it has helped tremendously! God bless you!🙂
The songs are very special and meaningful. I am so glad you were able to have an extension before you deploy. Both of you men are such fine men, and your mother and father must be very proud. I grieve for you about your brother passing soon, and I wish you peace too from the Lord. One day there will be reunion in heaven. He is so young to pass and from a horrible illness. In heaven, illnesses like that no longer exist, thankfully. My sweet aunt in her 60s died last year of pancreatic cancer that moved to her lymphatic system. She believed in Jesus, and she said "Even so, His will be done, not mine," with the most courage she told my mom, her best friend, that with so much bravery. She introduced my parents to each other in the 70s. My dad is her oldest brother. She is one of the very kindest, gentle spirited people I have ever known. She always put others first and was considerate of them. Her faith is such an example and she is such a lady. In the 70s she won beauty contests in her younger years, with gorgeous dark dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. In photos, she is so naturally beautiful. She was unaware of her own beauty. My uncle was married to her 45 years and is lost without her. He adores her. In heaven, she has perfect peace and one day he will see her, too. The end of diseases like cancer in heaven is such a wonderful blessing. I am glad Dan will no longer suffer, though of course he is young and I wish he had had many more years of a long, healthy life here on earth first. Dan has touched hearts that never will forget him, though, and he shined with so much courage and such a wonderful man and such a desire to help others, whether with back pain or those with cancer and even those with depression to find encouragement. His legacy is something very special. Face to face with Jesus, I believe he will experience the love of Christ in a way that is going to be overwhelming in the best way. God bless him and each of the family members and friends who love him. And God bless you in your deployment when you do go, and your wife and children. May He protect you and bring you safely back to them afterward, and use you to help others in your medical work that is so important for those you will serve with so selflessly.
You are such a loving, amazing brother singing and saying prayers for Dan. I'm sure he enjoys every minute of it❤ I'm sending lots of love and prayers to Dr.Dan from Houston❤ We love you Dr.Dan❤
RIP beloved Dr. Dan. Have a happy life in heaven. Love goes out to Panda mom and dad, his Brothers, ex-wife Tracey, all his relatives, friends, all caregivers, Vanillie, and the Worldwide Panda family. I am glad he could pass and ist without pain and fear. And I am sad for the loss of this wonderful and brave man. Love from Germany
Thank you so much for this update. I check his last video several times a day for updates, thinking and praying for you all. What a wonderful family you are. I'm so glad he surrounded by love. God bless.
God bless you,dear brother John. I remember when my medical doctor / pastor Dad was dying, at the very end, there were two drugs administered to him at the hospice. Dad was only 66. One of the drugs was to dry up his saliva, so he didn’t choke.
What a dedicated family Dr. Dan has! This nurse empathizes with his brother and all the care that he provided. Eternal rest grant unto Dr. Dan, and may perpetual light shine upon him, and may his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace.
As you share Im reminded of this process, as I took care of my parents on hospice. Getting the time to share and tenderly care for him is a delicate balance of meds and comfort care for sure. Having you all and the extended family and friends to spend time with him, he'll get to continue to hear your voices and experience the unconditional love that will soothe him as well. Oh my to hear your singing is something you may not know is like a blanket of love to his ears. You all bring vigilant regarding his bodily changes will further ensure he has less pain. Since the body requires less food in this stage its actually anticipated, but hard to witness, as we typical reagrding feeding someone as an act of love and care. You all are loving and caring for him in the ways that will give him the ultimate peace and you the unforgettable knowledge that he was embraced lovingly in all the ways that he needed most. I know I'm not alone when I say I learned so much from Dr. DAN...actually being disabled and challenged with how to not injure myself while caring for my parents. I'm sure the testimonies of his impact are many. I rarely comment. Im hoping that some day you all will be hugged when you read what a blessing his was to us Panda's. I'm so happy to be amongst the people your brother blessed with his zest for life and encouraging knowledge on how to get the best from our bodies. As each new day dawns may you continue to feel his love ❤care for you all.
Thank you for the live update you did today and this one from yesterday! You’re a very loving and caring brother and speak so well just like Dr. Dan. You have a beautiful voice and my heart melts hearing the song you sing him every night. 🥹♥️ Your parents raised you guys so well. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thanks so much for this update!Moved beyond words by this labor of love! Beautiful and comforting songs, too. May Dan have an easier and more comfortable night, cradled in the love of his wonderful family.
Thank you, John, for the update. You will have a special place in Heaven beside your brother someday. Your parents will as well. Your family is always in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for the update. He is in the best hands possible, you even sing ! I hope there’s no pain and he’ll move on with love and happiness in his heart 🙏🏻💕
Thank you for the updates. I have terminal lung cancer and I have been on a 3 year holiday. But the cancer is back and I have to start chemo Wednesday. Dan has given me the strength to fight and the courage to face the cancer head on. Bless you and your family for taking care of Dan
Good luck Steve. Hope you have a good outcome 👍
We’ll send the power of positive panda thoughts to you too, Steve
Praying for you! God STILL performs miracles!
Good luck! One day at a time, you got this!
Yes Dear Steve. Keep us posted on your progress! Thank you for sharing your experience. I wish you peace and blessings. You are doing great considering. I love that you are on a continual holiday! 🙏🏾✌🏾💚
What a wonderful brother!!! Thank you John. Immense LOVE for Dr. Dan ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Anyone seeing this. He passed away yesterday at 5:08 central time. You will be missed. ❤
Thank you for the update.
John,I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family have my prayers and sympathy at this time. I know what you are going through.

Thank you. He’s is free 🌈✨
Thank you. Rest in peace Dr Dan. My condolences to his lovely family, all his friends and panda nation.
So glad Dan has a family that loves him and helping him even with the most difficult tasks.
Dan is so blessed to have such a loving, caring family and friends. Peace and comfort to everyone, especially Dan. Thank you for this update.
I am amazed how you have jumped in for Dan! Such a Blessing! Both of you and Dan look similar…. Such a wonderful brother!
How beautiful that you sing to him and do recitations. I am so sure it so wonderful for him. You are a real brother in very sense of the word.🙏🙏❤️
I just heard Dan went to his Heavenly home. Sending love and hugs and praying fo g Gods comfort and peace for all the thousands who love him. He is healed now.
RIP Dr Dan.
What a beautiful family. Tough experiences for you all but so special that you’re able to be there for him.

Those songs were soothing. Nice voice! What a great way to end the day.
He's blessed to have such a great brother. Prayers for you and your family.
You are such a loving brother. My condolences … I know you will miss him …forever.
Beautiful prayer and songs. I’m sure it’s very comforting to him. Thanks for the update.
What a beautiful update. I am so glad you have had a chance to spend this time with Dan, supporting him & your parents. Bless you for doing this.
You're all lucky to have each other, thanks for caring for your brother with the selflessness that ALL of us should care for each other with. Isn't it amazing how strong we can all be when we have to!
Not overtly religious but this may be the decency and love that an eccentric rabbi taught . This is love what this family is doing .
❤ blessings to the Bockmann family...
AMAZING GRACE! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.
Beautiful songs and beautifully sung. What a wonderful brother you are.
Thank you for taking your time to update us. May God’s grace and mercy continue to bless your family.
How beautiful. Thank you for sharing the beautiful prayers you sang for us. Dr Dan and family are added to my prayers. 🕊️
You have a beautiful voice. I never heard your brother sing but the angels have. Sending love and prayers to all of you.
You have a beautiful voice!! I’m sure Dan loves when you sing to him.❤
Hospice care is intimacy on a level all by itself, especially when it is provided by a family member. (me)
Father God I lift Dr Dan to the throne of grace and ask that your will be done and that you strengthen the family and give them peace. In Jesus name Amen.

@@PinkMauveMonkeyThank you Rita. To be fair another panda posted about the way to reach John. I just posted the links . I’m sorry for what you went through. I do not have time to write much but I believe that someone will post updates on Dan’s page (it’s already begun) as we find our more on John’s X channel. Be well. Love, Anne ❤️🥰🐼🥰❤️
@annerenaud3828 Thank you, Anne. I'm sorry for you too. Will you repost again to be able to see what John says possibly? Do you mean Dr. Dan has started now. ? Im so very sad such a good man. But I'm praying he has a beautiful welcome. I've asked God my mom and others, but I'm sure he'll have many.
Hope to hear from you. Take care, Panda family love Rita❤️🐼🦋
@@PinkMauveMonkey Updates have already begun by people on his channel. As for Dan, it is my understanding that he will be leaving this earth soon. However, let’s take comfort in the fact that he is surrounded by the love of his family and carried by all of our prayers/thoughts/positive vibrations🫶🐼❤️🙏❤️🐼🫶
@annerenaud3828 Thank you again, Anne 🩷. I do take comfort as I hope you and all the Panda family and Dr. Dan, beautiful family, do too.
I think because I'm not feeling so good and so upset, it might just be making me more emotional than I am usually. I haven't been able to deal with my mom in heaven very well.. But she has been sending me signs. I'm not a very religious person ,I was very honest about that.
i do pray alot though and I definitely believe in God and heaven and angels. Even if some want to make fun of me.
I really wish the particular trolls would stop at least while we have to say, "See you later to Dan. Now someone is pretending to be liz apologizing, but it's not her. it's someone else. So nobody really ever knows who is at the other end i guess, unless you see them. Thats so sad.( I don't know why they targeted me when so many were saying the same as me ? who they are even) I don't even know who the person is that has been so kind to me trying to protect me or why.or if they know me.
I know I go back and forth on Dr or Just Dan. I don't want to disrespect, but I feel like He's also Dan to us because he said we were also his friends. We're his embarrassment of pandas.I believe he meant that. Really, panda family.
My heart is breaking for John. I think there is another brother mark? For Tyler, who just found out reconnected. Panda Mama and Panda Dad , Tracey, Jessica, there's so many I'm sure this is really hurting our hearts.
Though I know he will not be in pain anymore, and I believe there is no sickness or pain in heaven, and you get to be restored to the time in life you want to be . I know, sounds crazy. I have all different thoughts because I know my mom has been around me a certain form she'll pop up when I really need or unexpectedly to let me know she's watching over me . Sorry, I'm rambling.
I wake and sleep a lot . Than try to get some things done between. I hope I know when to change my prayers. I hope they're all together in a room of love.
I don't even know why you are being so kind and taking time for me.. But I really do appreciate it.
Love Rita 🐼🦋🪻🐱🙏💔🩷
You sir are a wonderful brother! May the Lord give you peace for this new journey without your brother!
Thank you for taking the time to share Dan’s journey with us.
Appreciate the update- please give him a gentle hug from all of us. ❤ We love him dearly❤
Your prayer and songs are soo beautiful! God bless you!
You're doing everything you can for him John. Hug your folks for me, this is pure hell for them. 😔❤️🙏
what an awesome brother
My Bible devotion this am was on Jacob and Esau. Beautiful song and memory. God cover and carry you all. Praying for you all and sending much love ❤️
So grateful to you John. These updates are so loving and caring.
You are a blessing to Dan and your Parents. Thank you for you songs at the end they were beautiful
Thank you for the update...a brother like you is a blessing! .
Thank you.. been following him.. he was always positive.. loved his channel.. what a strong human being… 😢
Thanks John for the update you are a fantastic brother
Thank you for the update. Can’t imagine going through what you are facing and then coming on TH-cam. You are a very strong person. Absolutely beautiful prayer and song. 🙏
This has got to be hard for you all. Such grace and love.
So lovely. Thank you so much. My mom passed in hospice last month. Watching your video helps. Love to you, Dan and your family.❤
Thank you for updating! Like many, I have been following Dan's story for a while now and feel as if I'm standing vigil for a dear family member - not just some guy on the internet. I've been in your shoes twice now; caring for a loved one through hospice to transition. It's so very difficult and though I'm not religious, I do think about you and your parents throughout the day and wish all of you strength, peace, and presence.
RIP Dr Dan. Condolences to your family.
Love the songs - so comforting.
Thank you for the update, John! I just praise the Lord for His grace and mercy! While I don't know your family personally, I am privileged to pray for each of you as a sister in Christ. While this is sorrowful, you have the assurance that Dr. Dan will have a glorified body with no pain and suffering. But the best blessing is that he will be with Jesus for ALL eternity! ❤
That’s beautiful that you’re singing to your brother. Even if he can’t show it, I’m sure it brings such great comfort to him.
The prayer and songs are beautiful.
Said a prayer on my walk. I thought of Dr Dan and how he walked a lot in the months where he didn't have the stamina for hearty exercise. Praying for comfort for your mom! We are learning from you all and how to handle the hard things at the end of life-+.
what wonderful songs for you to sing to him! You won't regret this time that you were able to love on him and be there for him. God Bless!
Just a huge blessing your brother has.....when the Lord sent you!!!!! Whisper....he hears, he knows. Thank YOU!!!!! May the Lord bless and keep you also!!!!!!!!
Fly high beautiful Dan.
What a great brother! I’ve been through this with my sister and it’s so hard. ❤
Thanks for update! You should upload this to his TH-cam channel…many people over there looking for updates ❤️❤️
I just posted the link to Dan’s channel. My thoughts are with you John. I saw my sister go through this. She was hospitalized in palliative care unit after 4 months of trying to get to try palliative chemo. I’m glad Dan is surrounded by his loving family. I recall being like you at the time. Love nurses ans palliative doctors and nurses. ❤️🙏❤️
Youre a beautiful soul... the love and kindness you show your brother brings tears to my eyes..
You are just as precious as your brother. Praying for your all. Strength and peace.
Thank you for the update! Bless you for helping your family out with Dr. Dans care.
You did a wonderful job caring for your brother in his final days. RIP Dan.
Beautiful prayer and songs!!! God bless you!!! ❤
It is beautiful that you sing those special songs to him each night. That would mean sooo much to me if someone did that for me.
Your voice has me in tears so beautiful so loving for your brother God bless you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰🥰😘❤️😘🥰😘❤️😘🥰
Bless him and bless you all. ❤

TH-cam algorithm led me to your channel, just wanted to say I’m thinking and praying for Dan and family in this very difficult time..❤🐼
Thanks for the update ! You are a great brother! 🙏🙏 prayers for you and your family and of course Dan! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you John. Tracy here from Canada. Please reach out to us for support. I lost my mom at 17 plus 3 best friends to cancer. I am 55 and a two time cancer survivor. I hope you are able to find comfort .
John you are a wonderful brother and father. Anyone would be blessed. You touch our hearts with your efforts and kindness. Our love to Dan as he winds down, a natural human process. Dan showed us real courage and touched so many hearts. God Bless Him, You and your Family.
Thank you, John. We, the panda family, keep all of you close.
Thank you for creating a channel to provide updates about your brother and to tell us a little about yourself. Its nice to hear the spiritual stories.
Hi John I’m just now seeing this but thank u, thank u, thank u! I know this has to be so hard talking about Dan’s progress. My sister and I went through all of this with my sister. Much love to Dan and all of u. I was so hoping during this journey there would be something that would put Dan in remission. Thanks for that beautiful song. You have a beautiful voice.
John…..you are an amazing man……I started watching this channel last Oct when my wife who is 54 years old was diagnosed with a glioblastoma brain tumour.
She is in the last year of her life and I honestly don’t know how I’m going to get through the last days. From what I know of myself I’m not the caregiver that you and your family seem to be.
You guys are in my prayers everyday, and I just ask God to fill you and your family with the Holy Spirit to give you the strength and peace in your hearts to carry out Gods will.
God bless!

Thanks you so much for taking the time to write the words that you did!
I have been finding that anyone you can talk with and listen to is good therapy.
I have copied and pasted your reply and will read it daily as I do with others. You have given me a peace this morning my friend…… again …..thank you, it has helped
tremendously!
God bless you!🙂
Thank you for updating us. We are so concerned and love him so much.
Love and light to Dr Dan and his family and friends and fur babies, an earth angel here on earth and now in heaven ❤
The songs are very special and meaningful. I am so glad you were able to have an extension before you deploy. Both of you men are such fine men, and your mother and father must be very proud. I grieve for you about your brother passing soon, and I wish you peace too from the Lord. One day there will be reunion in heaven. He is so young to pass and from a horrible illness. In heaven, illnesses like that no longer exist, thankfully. My sweet aunt in her 60s died last year of pancreatic cancer that moved to her lymphatic system. She believed in Jesus, and she said "Even so, His will be done, not mine," with the most courage she told my mom, her best friend, that with so much bravery. She introduced my parents to each other in the 70s. My dad is her oldest brother. She is one of the very kindest, gentle spirited people I have ever known. She always put others first and was considerate of them. Her faith is such an example and she is such a lady. In the 70s she won beauty contests in her younger years, with gorgeous dark dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. In photos, she is so naturally beautiful. She was unaware of her own beauty. My uncle was married to her 45 years and is lost without her. He adores her. In heaven, she has perfect peace and one day he will see her, too. The end of diseases like cancer in heaven is such a wonderful blessing. I am glad Dan will no longer suffer, though of course he is young and I wish he had had many more years of a long, healthy life here on earth first. Dan has touched hearts that never will forget him, though, and he shined with so much courage and such a wonderful man and such a desire to help others, whether with back pain or those with cancer and even those with depression to find encouragement. His legacy is something very special. Face to face with Jesus, I believe he will experience the love of Christ in a way that is going to be overwhelming in the best way. God bless him and each of the family members and friends who love him. And God bless you in your deployment when you do go, and your wife and children. May He protect you and bring you safely back to them afterward, and use you to help others in your medical work that is so important for those you will serve with so selflessly.
@@traciejones6491 thank you for sharing that about your lovely aunt, Tracie. I hope to meet her someday!
Thank you John. You are a wonderful brother. Love to Dan and prayers for all of you.
You are such a loving, amazing brother singing and saying prayers for Dan. I'm sure he enjoys every minute of it❤ I'm sending lots of love and prayers to Dr.Dan from Houston❤ We love you Dr.Dan❤
Such peace and love you are bringing to your brother.♥️
Oh man your beautiful singing really got me 😭😭😭❤️. I know a beautiful journey awaits Dan and what a wonderful brother you are. God bless you all.
Dan has passed peacefully . Love and prayers to you all ❤ Dr Dan now at peace 🙏 love from the Panda 🐼 Gang x
RIP beloved Dr. Dan. Have a happy life in heaven. Love goes out to Panda mom and dad, his Brothers, ex-wife Tracey, all his relatives, friends, all caregivers,
Vanillie, and the Worldwide Panda family. I am glad he could pass and ist without pain and fear. And I am sad for the loss of this wonderful and brave man. Love from Germany
Thank you so much for this update. I check his last video several times a day for updates, thinking and praying for you all. What a wonderful family you are. I'm so glad he surrounded by love. God bless.
It is so beautiful to see the care and love are providing. I'm so inspired.
God bless you,dear brother John. I remember when my medical doctor / pastor Dad was dying, at the very end, there were two drugs administered to him at the hospice. Dad was only 66. One of the drugs was to dry up his saliva, so he didn’t choke.
Thank you for sharing your song. So heart warming 😊
What a dedicated family Dr. Dan has! This nurse empathizes with his brother and all the care that he provided. Eternal rest grant unto Dr. Dan, and may perpetual light shine upon him, and may his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace.
Thank you, John, for the update 🙏
I just want to comment on what a loving family to be at Dan’s side as he approaches the end. Thank you for the update.
As you share Im reminded of this process, as I took care of my parents on hospice. Getting the time to share and tenderly care for him is a delicate balance of meds and comfort care for sure. Having you all and the extended family and friends to spend time with him, he'll get to continue to hear your voices and experience the unconditional love that will soothe him as well. Oh my to hear your singing is something you may not know is like a blanket of love to his ears. You all bring vigilant regarding his bodily changes will further ensure he has less pain.
Since the body requires less food in this stage its actually anticipated, but hard to witness, as we typical reagrding feeding someone as an act of love and care. You all are loving and caring for him in the ways that will give him the ultimate peace and you the unforgettable knowledge that he was embraced lovingly in all the ways that he needed most. I know I'm not alone when I say I learned so much from Dr. DAN...actually being disabled and challenged with how to not injure myself while caring for my parents. I'm sure the testimonies of his impact are many. I rarely comment. Im hoping that some day you all will be hugged when you read what a blessing his was to us Panda's. I'm so happy to be
amongst the people your brother blessed with his zest for life and encouraging knowledge on how to get the best from our bodies. As each new day dawns may you continue to feel his love ❤care for you all.
Thank you John for sharing the update. Also thank you for the prayers and songs.
You are an amazing brother. Dan feels your love and care!
You are the best brother and caretaker. He is lucky to have you and your parents walking him home.
Love and prayers to all of you.
Thank you. You are being wonderful. Calm and matter of fact.
Thank you for the live update you did today and this one from yesterday! You’re a very loving and caring brother and speak so well just like Dr. Dan. You have a beautiful voice and my heart melts hearing the song you sing him every night. 🥹♥️ Your parents raised you guys so well. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thanks so much for this update!Moved beyond words by this labor of love! Beautiful and comforting songs, too. May Dan have an easier and more comfortable night, cradled in the love of his wonderful family.
Thank you, John, for the update. You will have a special place in Heaven beside your brother someday. Your parents will as well. Your family is always in my thoughts and prayers.
Poor Dan. This process is being so painstakingly slow. 💔😭
So lovely to sing these comforting songs to your Brother. God bless
Prayers for your brother and your family and thank you for speaking for the unborn.
Thank you for the update. He is in the best hands possible, you even sing ! I hope there’s no pain and he’ll move on with love and happiness in his heart 🙏🏻💕
