MENTOR, Ohio — For months, a teenager’s battle with cancer captured the consciousness of a community in Lake County. Jack Sawyer died over the weekend, but the strength and connectedness he inspired will leave a lasting mark.
Cook recently got to know the Sawyer family in the weeks after doctors told them Jack’s cancer was becoming unmanageable, and they elected to stop treatment. The 17-year-old had been battling Ewing sarcoma, an aggressive bone cancer, for 18 months. Mentor sign and graphics company Blue Lake, Inc. donated its resources to create yard JBS Strong yard signs.
“People who didn’t even know him he’s brought together. That, to me, is a true hero and a warrior, and his memory will live on forever around here,” Barrish said.“We all embraced them as a community,” said Barrish. “And it’s not over yet. We’re still here for them.” “To my classmates, teachers, staff and the entire Mentor community — I thank you for all the love and support. It was a privilege to be a part of this community. I’ll always be a Card! Remember my motto PACE — Positive Attitude Changes Everything. You will forever be in my heart. I love you all, Jack Sawyer.”
