‘Last Lecture’ Professor Randy Pausch Dies

Professor Randy Pausch Dies from Cancer

College professor Randy Pausch who lived well and inspired millions with his ‘last lecture’ and book ‘The Last Lecture’ has succumbed to pancreatic cancer at the age of 47-years old. He leaves behind his wife Jai and three children.

With the help of Wall Street Journal columnist Jeffrey Zaslow, Dr. Pausch wrote a book, “The Last Lecture,” which was published earlier this year. He elaborated on his lecture and emphasized the value he placed on hard work and learning from criticism. His words were intended as a legacy for his young children.

In May, Dr. Pausch spoke at the Carnegie Mellon University commencement. He said a friend recently told him he was “beating the [Grim] Reaper” because it’s now been nine months since his doctor told him he would die in six.

“But we don’t beat the Reaper by living longer. We beat the Reaper by living well,” said Dr. Pausch, who urged the graduates to find and pursue their passion. He put an exclamation point at the end of his remarks by kissing his wife, Jai, and carrying her off stage.

Randy seemed to have everything in perspective and instead of whining and complaining he used his battle with cancer to inspire millions more to to the exact same. His book ‘The Last Lecture’ is in our home and has been on the NYT Bestseller list for numerous weeks.
