Source: Obituary: Joel Green, the child that inspired That Dragon, CancerJoel Green, son of writer Amy Green and developer Ryan Green, passed away this morning. He was five years old.
The tragic news comes courtesy of a post on the That Dragon, Cancer website and an update to Joel's personal website.
No further information was given, though it is likely that Joel passed away due to complications stemming from the terminal cancer he has battled since the age of one.
Joel is the inspiration for That Dragon, Cancer, an autobiographical adventure game that aims to help players understand Ryan and Amy Green's struggles to raise and support their son in the face of his illness.
Please pray for Ryan and Amy Green.
Ryan and Amy are fellow followers of Christ and working through their grief one moment at a time.
I would write more but I'm still at work, I keep re-reading Ryan's blog post from yesterday, and I need to stop crying before I head home.
