March 29, 2011 Ned Wood lost his life to cancer this morning at the age of 57

Since being diagnosed with terminal cholangiocarcinoma last summer, Ned fought a valiant fight and showed those close to him and all of those treating him, what he was all about. He accepted the news, put on his armor and never gave up his battle, never complained and even said he was glad that this had happened to him because it was making him a better person.

With a sense of urgency, Ned squeezed every ounce of every day in working on and in his studio. He passionately recorded, painted, reached out to friends, travelled and radiated his spiritualism and positive attitude, all while undergoing chemo and its side effects.

He will truly be missed by all that have come to know him.
