How can you say that you horrible person!!!

What if that ONE person was you mother ? your sister or brother, father grandma any other family you horrible piece of s**T?

if you die a horrible painfull long death i won't care about you and none of us on TTG will or should if you don't the only thing i'd do is spit on your grave.

Everyone stop... don't start an argument on a post about a kid dying from cancer. We all feel bad for the family, now instead of arguing about this, lets keep his family in our thoughts and hope they will get by during this terrible moment in their lives.

You're all jumpy. Calm down for once. If a family member died, ofcourse i'd feel sad. but i don't expect their death to be a huge thing for other people that didn't know them. You can go ahead and resume talking about how much better of a person you are than me.

RIP Mate,Never knew who he was,But must be heartbreaking for his family.My thoughts and wishes go out to his family.

GenWoundWart13 wrote Up to 800 people gathered on the Glendora High School track field Tuesday evening in tribute to Chris Vega, the 18-year-old Glendora High School graduate who died of leukemia Monday.

Although many of the people gathered on Tuesday said they didnt know Vega personally, many of them followed his valiant battle through updates on various social media sites.

Throughout the past year since Vega was diagnosed with leukemia, community members rallied together to host community blood drives and fundraisers in support of Vega and his family. The story of his battle against leukemia and his familys financial struggles continued to grow within a tight-knit community.

Vega and his two younger brothers were raised in Glendora and attended schools in the Glendora Unified School District. Vegas mother, Annie, is a popular teacher at Sellers Elementary School.

When Vega began his senior year of high school at Glendora High School in 2011, he was a well-liked student who competed in cross country.

[Vega] was the kind of runner who didnt have immediate talent, but he just kept on working and working, said his coach Bob Ramsey. His hard work led him to being one of our best runners.

Vega competed in what turned out to be his last meet Sept. 24, 2011. Ramsey said the hardworking runner who normally pushed through the pain had become so ill and he could no longer practice. Shortly after, Vega was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

The outpouring of community support since his diagnosis seemed to grow throughout the year. While also stricken with the trauma of Vegas illness, his family has struggled financially to pay for his mounting medical expenses.

His father, Anthony, lost his job in 2009. With no other net income besides Annies teaching salary, the family was forced to file bankruptcy.

As the familys financial woes continued, Vegas illness grew more severe. In April, Vega underwent a stem cell transplant at City of Hope.

Friends and family hosted blood drives and fundraisers in support of Vega and his family.

Ten-year-old Carson Alonzo, a fifth grader from Sellers Elementary, raised $600 selling snow cones for the Chris Vega Fund.

We are so proud of his heart and compassion to help a friend in need, said Alonzos mother Kimberly Alonzo.

Glendora High School sports teams, including the GHS Football Boosters and the cross country team, raised thousands of dollars for the Chris Vega Fund.

Vega graduated from Glendora High School in June, and hoped to walk with his fellow classmates, but his health continued to decline.

Vegas mother took a month off from work to be at her sons bedside. His father maintained his new business A&A Supplies while both parents struggled to look after their children.

On Aug. 27, Vega was rushed to ICU with kidney failure and pneumonia.

On Monday, Vega lost his battle to leukemia with his family at his side. As news of Vegas death spread throughout the community, people who had been following Vegas story continued to show their support.

Chris was the kind of person who stood out for his love for God and his love for country, said former classmate Ryan Senneff during Tuesdays candlelight vigil. He was just a great person to have known.
