John Ott
A dear friend of so many passed away on Thursday, Sept 22, 2005. John fought for so long to have gastric bypass, but in the end, he didn't make it through surgery. On Wednesday, he had a pulmonary embolism and on Thursday, he went into cardiac arrest.

Here's a poem he wrote before surgery:
The following is a poem
that John wrote and posted to his profile just prior to his surgery.
Mortality
Is it my time to go?
Will I lose the fight?
I will pass on the baton,
If you will it.
While I want to stay,
I know that isn’t your way.
You know what’s best for me,
This I know.
So my arms are outstretched my Lord,
Do with me as you will,
Take me home to you,
Or let me stay on Earth.
So that’s your word Lord,
You’re taking me home.
I’m ready to go,
As you know.
For those still here,
Fighting the battles.
Keep the faith,
and stay, the path.
