He was ripped and did this "peak to peak" hike of Vancouver's north shore mountains that I couldn't even do HALF of which is something like a 50 kilometer mountain trail in like 14 hours or something... multiple times a year! Also played soccer and was basically a goody-two shoes. I only knew him because he was the brother of a bar chick I was friends with.

He got some weird cancer, not sure which, and went from being 100% healthy to dead in 6 months. Absolutely ridiculous luck of the draw. Fucking so sad. Meanwhile his sister was a drunk even worse than me and snorted any line put in front of her. She's still alive as far as I know. RIP Buddy.
