A Super Bowl champion battled rare kidney cancer

Former NFL running back and Super Bowl champion Ronnie Hillman lost his battle with cancer in December 2022. In a social media post, Hillman’s family shared he was diagnosed with renal medullary carcinoma (RMC), an aggressive type of kidney cancer, several months earlier. The 31-year-old played with several teams but most notably played with the Denver Broncos, leading the team in rushing during Super Bowl 50. In general, kidney cancer is difficult to diagnose because tumors can develop deep inside the body and can grow quite large without causing any pain or health problems.

Honoring Dave Schubert, San Francisco’s Wildest Street Photographer
January 9, 2023
On Friday morning, I got word that my favorite San Francisco photographer Dave Schubert had died suddenly. The long-time Mission District resident was discovered on Thursday, Jan. 5 by concerned friends at the 26th Street home Schubert lived in for two decades. Schubert’s work had been a minor obsession of mine ever since 2005, when I first saw one of his photographs at a 111 Minna show. The photo in question — a chaotic 16th Street brawl involving seven people and a bicycle — has hung in my home ever since. It offers a perfect snapshot of Mission District nightlife as I knew it back then: a grimy, hedonistic community of bartenders, graffiti writers, skaters, punks and bike messengers.

Terry Stonecipher, 60, had served as police chief in the community of a little over 800 people since 2005, according to Klawock Mayor Nick Nickerson. The chief's death leaves the village at least temporarily without a staffed police force. The mayor, who serves with the fire department, was one of numerous local emergency responders who rushed to provide assistance early Monday morning after dispatchers issued an "all-call" for help. Alaska State Troopers said they responded to Klawock from Prince of Wales for a report of an unresponsive man inside a home just before 3 a.m. Monday. Stonecipher was pronounced dead after life-saving measures proved unsuccessful, they said. No foul play is suspected.

On January 6th, 2023 the world lost Sarah Foley Gray. For the past five years, Sarah dedicated her professional life to bringing healthcare to people within underserved communities. She would go where most Medicare agents would not and would meet people in need at food banks and community centers where she would see them as people with dignity who deserved healthcare coverage. While out in the field Sarah contracted COVID-19 in January 2021 and suffered from long-haul COVID symptoms. These symptoms disguised her contraction of Strep sometime in the fall of 2022. Sarah thought she had the flu, when in fact, she had Streptococcus. This combined with low blood pressure sent her body into toxic shock and she died suddenly and unexpectedly on January 6th after emergency interventions were unable to stop vital organ failures.

It might be easier for you guys who are compiling the data (?) ... Just my 2 cents.
