The Mentor community is mourning the loss of a fighter, Jack Sawyer.
The 17-year-old Mentor High School student passed away on Sunday following a long battle with Ewing sarcoma, an aggressive and rare form of bone cancer.
Early Sunday morning, Jack's family announced his passing in a Facebook post.
"The time to pray for a miracle has ended. Jack has taken his last breath on this earth, and there is no more pain. The time to celebrate the miracle named Jack Bennett Sawyer is now upon us," said his father Matt Sawyer.
Mentor Public Schools Superintendent Craig Heath and Mentor High School Principal Jason Crowe released the following statement to students and parents following Jack's passing.
"It is with great sadness we write you this letter. We learned this morning our student Jack Sawyer passed away overnight at home following his extremely courageous battle with cancer. Jack was 17 years old.
Jack’s positive attitude, warm smile and kind, compassionate spirit touched the lives of many. Throughout his 18-month battle with cancer, Jack has been an absolute inspiration for us all. He handled all of the ups and downs of his journey with incredible strength and grace, and the way he brought the community together was like nothing we’ve ever seen."
