Fr. Everett Hemann, 66, has died after a yearlong struggle with pancreatic cancer.
I have periodically blogged about Hemann, who was publicly sharing his final days on this earth.
According to The Des Moines Register, Hemann died this past Tuesday:
Rev. Everett Hemann died at age 66 on Tuesday evening, a little more than a year after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. His funeral service Monday at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Cedar Falls is expected to be packed with Iowans honoring a man who urged them to live a full live, serve others and embrace death.
