The sad yet inevitable has happened.
Randy Pausch has passed away.
The former professor at Carnegie Mellon was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and became an Internet sensation after his inspirational Last Lecture became viral on YouTube.
Pausch subsequently appeared on Oprah and his Last Lecture was recently turned into a book.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and children, whom he dedicated his moving speech to.

Why The Snub???
OMG…am i first?
R.I.P DUDE
I have seen his photo on " Ca su alse ek .c om ". I am wandering whom he wants to seek.
He wants to find a girl to be his girlfriend?
aw
such an exceptional man - a tremendous loss, but he will continue to inspire through his lecture/book - he will be greatly missed
R.I.P.
r.i.p.
I am so sad to hear this! His last lecture was so inspirational. We need more people like him on this planet. He will be missed!
RIP he was a brave and amazing man!
What and inspirational man. I am sure his children will grow up to follow his amazing advice.
What a wonderful man. Terrible loss. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. If you haven't watched his last lecture on YouTube, you have to watch it. It will change your life.
He was such an amazing person. What a gift he left his children. They are so blessed to have that "Lecture" to share with his grandchildren.
i think we was full of shit
May God Bless him and his family. He showed tremendous courage during his ordeal. He is an inspiration to all…
RIP.
Very sad…his lecture was very inspiring and he was a wonderful man and father. RIP

I cry for a man I didn't know and a person that we should all try to be like.
What a tremendous loss, may God bless his children and help them and his wife through this difficult time. He is in a much better place now. Too bad there are not more people like him in this world
ohh how sad! RIP
R.I.P. I read the book and watched his lecture and was really touched by it. My heart goes out to his family.
This man gave me a whole new outlook on life. Such a terrible loss. Never seen anyone so strong and so inspirational. He will be missed.
may he rest in peace and may his family find solace in his speach. They must be horribly sad right now. He was an amazing man… I hope the world can learn something from him.
This is such sad news for his family and friends, he truly inspired everyone and made me want to live my life for everyday. My condolences to all who knew and loved him
So sad….I love that guy. Such a good message, live every day to the fullest people. Go out and enjoy life instead of sitting in your house reading a stupid blog that brings nothing but hurt to people!
Wonder what he would have thought of perez???
thoughts are with his family. he was an inspiration.
I am deeply saddened by this news, I was just checking his site the other day for updates and seen where he wasn't doing to well but was still holding onto hope. For Randy: You outlived the doctor's expectations and you saved many lives. I will never forget the letter that man wrote to you. The man that wanted to commit suicide but decided not to, he realized that he took everything for granted, while you took nothing for granted. Long live your memory Randy, the inspiration you gave others, and the lives that you changed.
He was such an inspiration to everyone on how we should live our life to the fullest! His family should be so proud of him and God Bless his wife and children through this terrible loss
He was a great man. His lectures are amazing. Two of my favorite quotes from him are on my mirrors. His quotes provide inspiration for me whenever I need a pick me up.
God bless him and his family. What a beautiful human being.
My thoughts and prayers to his family! His kids will always know the lengths their father went through to make sure they remember how much he loved them!!!
A friend sent me Randy's book in a care package about a week ago. "The Last Lecture" is really inspiring to me during my current deployment. R.I.P.
Very sad. I was afraid it was near.
That's horrible. I've watched his speech countless amounts of times and his book is one of my altime favorites. Wow, we lost a great man.
He was such a true inspiration. I saw him on Oprah and was humbled how he had the courage and the energy to do what he was doing. He put a lot of things in perspective for me. His family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Re: beyon –
Are you fucking kidding me?! Be a lot less of a disgusting person you jerk.
R.I.P. to an incredible man who will be missed.
He was an inspiration to all. I mourn his loss and pray that his children will know what a wonderful man they had in a father. He touched so many lives without intending a certain amount of fame. This to me, makes him noble. I only hope to live as he did.
I am so profoundly sad. He was an amazing person - prayers to his entire family. he inspired so many people
Everyone should watch that video, it is a must see. What a wonderful human being. God bless.
aw man, shitty.
so sad, i loved him. prayers and thoughts are with his family
It's so sad that the people who deserve to live the most never do.
This breaks my heart. I knew it was inevitable, but I had hoped Randy would live long & defy the doctors' prognosis. He is the most incredible man… who inspired many, including myself. God be with him & his family at this terribly difficult time.
XOXO
who the fuck is this and why should i care?
R.I.P
I saw him and his family on 20/20. What an amazing person! Just listening to him for a few minutes makes you want to be a better person. He really puts things in perspective. Makes you wish everyone could live and think like he did. God Bless him and his loving family.
He passes away and the first couple of comments have to do with who's first and then, next, a blog for some website? Beyond shallow. Anyway, I've seen this gutsy guy on Oprah. Hope he RIP.
He was a great, inspirational man, and the father everyone wishes they had. My thoughts are with his family.
what a wonderful man. May he rest in peace and may God be with his family at this time. God rest his soul
I hope he died knowing how many millions of lives he touched and improved with his wonderfully inspiring attitude. For him to find that kind of selfless strength in the face of one of life's most frightening challenges is truly humbling. His children should be very, very proud of their Dad.
Very sad news, RIP he was such an inspiration and he never lose his will to share his experience and to warm everyone's heart with his knowledge and his deep loving heart. Sad news
Now why can't a man like this be president of our country, and not these evil politicians who only care about themselves? What a great nation we would truley be if it were run by such a magnificant man.
Thanks for posting this up. This guy was amazing.
Awww… So sad. R.I.P Randy.. You were a great speaker and made me see the brighter side of life. You will be missed !
Re: ohio – I can only assume you were born an ignorant, disrespectful as*hole. How empty your life must be if you can make a comment like that about someone so well respected. Poor poor you….
OMG…its so sad…at least he left a good legacy for his kids!
wow, we knew it was coming, but it still seems so fast. rip
Re: beyon –
I doubt you've seen his photo on casual seek looking for a girlfriend considering he's dead now.
This man was truly inspiring and brave. May he continue to inspire.
I will be honest, I really never heard of him till I watched him on Oprah. What an amazing man.. I only hope I have his strength and courage if faced with an untimely death. What a horrible loss!
God Bless his soul and his family. He stepped up in his darkest hour and made a difference to more people than he could imagine.
This is so heartbreaking, such an incredible man, such an inspiration ! His legacy will live on for a long, long, long time
Re: ohio – How ironic you should write this considering the subject matter, however I suspect you are too stupid to realise this. Good luck with your life!
This is terrible news to wake up to! RIP Randy and thanks for sharing so much you learned with all of us when your time was so limited. The Last Lecture is brilliant and will continue to help countless people. My heart aches for your family…
this guy was really great.
:(
OMG! I feel so sad. What a wonderful man! My thoughts and prayers and with his great wife and beautiful children. He had such grace and dignity!
I read about it on foxnews.com this morning. Perez, seriously you're slipping!
R.I.P.
Re: beyon – Moron, stop wandering who he seeks b/c he's dead. Damn, you suck!
I have been checking his website every day for updates and had a feeling he was going downhill when there had not been an update in a few weeks. He was always good about updating his page. This is such sad news and so tragic for his very small children. Godspeed Randy!
Rest in Peace. He was so inspirational. My prayers are with his family. I'm so sad to hear this…
damn, i was following this story and i am truly hurt and my heart goes out to the family, especially his children, i lost my mom not to long ago and i know how they are feeling. one day he's there, and the next the world has completely changed…in his honor today i will live like it is my last…i hope everyone takes something from him and his story. RIP
Sending my condolences. There was no updates on his site so I knew he must not have been doing well. I'm sad but he was a great man, very inspirational. He helped me a lot before & after my father passed away from pancreatic cancer. It made me happy to see Randy fighting the cancer like a champ but also enjoying life.
what a wonderful tribute to his family
RIP and thank you
aw, i need to watch his video…is it Really inevitable!? i thought patrick swayze was doin' good now and that he beat it…he's gettin a show right? anyway rest in peace, inspirational guy
As a fellow Pittsburgher, my heart goes out to his family. I have watched, listened and prayed for him and his family since meeting him. For those who have lost someone dear, the heart does amazing things. Again, my prayers for those who knew and loved him.
I saw his Last Lecture when it swept the internet. Brilliant! I highly recommend it to anyone. Not just for the topic of death, which is *not* what its about .. but for life and living.
noooooooo!
:(
:(
I am so sad to hear the news on this. He is such an inspiration to all. His lecture is riveting. I am thinking of his family at this time.
this is so sad. I was hoping to never see you post this news. I hadn't heard about him a long time so I thought, maybe, he was getting better. So sad. What a loss- there are so many assholes out there who live to bitter old ages and people like Randy are lost so young. I don't understand….
I saw his lecture on Oprah… It was really moving… RIP…
Such a huge loss for his family, friends and even people who never knew him. The world will miss you Randy. Godspeed.
we all knew this day was come - I just dreaded it, though. RIP - thank you for the inspirtation. Love and sympathy to his family
you should say, "to whom he dedicated his moving speech", not, "whom he dedicated his moving speech to"…never dangle your participle!
You DID go to college, yes, fatty????
I beginning to wonder…I weep for our future…
he had the most positive outlook on a definite negative end. He's an inspiration and won't be forgotten. I feel awful for his young children who won't get to know such a wonderful man. Rest peacefully.
I watched him on Oprah and I even cried.Well,R.I.P!:(At least you're in a better place right now:)deepest condolences to your family and friends!:)
So sad - my heart goes out to his friends and family. His last lecture was incredible.
:(
Awww, that's really sad. He seemed like such a positive and caring guy. He left a legacy and hopefully many people will draw from his courage.
i have been desensitized over the years but this is truly upsetting news. you just really wanted him to have a miracle. such a loss, he is an inspiration to everyone.
I first heard about Randy when 20/20 did their report about him. I was blown away with the courage snd dignity he approached his situation. His outlook on life was inspiring and I hope to be able to take the lessons he presented and like them in my life. My extream condolences to his wife, Jai and their children, Dylan, Logan, and Chloe.
The people competing to be "first" in these comments remind me of the losers in school who were always off in the corner laughing at their own little inside jokes.
I'm from pittsburgh, so hearing the news that the professor from CMU has passed is such sad news.
We should aspire to be half of the person this man was.
RIP
Rest In Peace Randy Pausch.
How sad. He was truely inspirational. My thoughts are with his fam.
What an inspiration! My condolences to his family and friends, I have never knew anyone with such a great attitude, may he rest in peace!
Ok… this has to be the saddest thing I have read in months…I love this man…I love his story…and he really made an impact on my life…
I know it was inevitable…but … it is still so sad to say goodbye…
God Bless his family …
He was a very inspirational man. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and kids. God Bless.
i am so sad to hear this God Bless Randy and his family..
So sad! I've been following his progress on his blog, and noticed the last month he hadn't posted. He was an amazing man. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.
I was very, very moved by his Last Lecture, and i am 15.
He is an inspirational man. RIP.
Re: beyon – We saw you on "I ATE SHIT AND DIED.COM" so now fuck off and just do the world a favor and die. Ridiculous fucking cheapskate idiot.
Kisses!
It sadly amazes me that with all the accomplishments of humanity, a cure for cancer is still beyond our reach. Bless this man and his family.
