Daniel passed away from colon cancer at age 47, which was likely due to his family history of the disease as his uncle had also died from it. He had a poor diet high in processed foods and low in fruits and vegetables due to a dislike of textures, and noticed blood in his stool once but did not seek medical attention. Small lifestyle changes like quitting smoking and eating more fiber-rich foods may have prevented his death and allowed him to meet his first grandchild.

2. Some of the possible causes of his death were his age and his family history. An uncle died a few years back from the same thing. Or It may have been that he had a poor diet. He very much disliked the texture of fruits and vegetables and almost never ate them.Photo by Senescence
