Shayne Hackworth was close to John and his family. I believe he saw John in the hospital a few days before his passing.

I stopped by and spoke with John at his parents house right before he died. He was working at Bass Concert Hall and was in good spirits. He looked really weak though and he did say he was suffering from cancer.
