A Stranger’s Last 3 Months to Live

- When I met Xavier Romero in July of 2019, he'd been given 1 week left to live. He was suffering from a rare form of liver cancer and doctors had given up hope. After hearing his story, I knew I wanted to meet him. Little did I know Xavier would beat all the odds and that we would get to know each other and become brothers.
Over three months of getting to know him, he taught me about what it means to fight for your life, to love unconditionally and to appreciate every single breath. He always wanted to start a CZcams channel and I told him that no matter what, his story would be told. He took comfort in that. Here is that story.
I know he's here with us. I know he's watching this video and smiling at these beautiful moments we got to spend with each other. I miss him and I know I'll see him again one day.
Thank you for watching. It means a lot to me and I know it means a lot to him.
Love,
Matt

No please dont be true, I cried throughout this video and I'm barely in the middle 😥
Poor man...
really makes you think about your own life, rest in peace
Kinda sad reading the title then seeing "3 months ago"
that's actually a really sad coincidence

“When we’re born we’re all diagnosed with the same condition: death” idk why those words stuck with me through the whole thing
That'll stick with me for a while
I remember hearing this awhile ago, in a different form. It was “Life is just a terminal illness, and were all victims”
Anorak Me too!
I’ve head “life’s a bitch and then you die”
along with “The only thing certain for all of us in life, is death”
It sticks with you, doesn’t it?
But will never know how it feels until close to it
Life is an illness, ending with dead in 100% of all cases
I just took a shit
The Australian guy who had just met Xavier did so much more for him than his lifelong idols.
It's so True!!!
I appreciate the video they sent, but it would have been really awesome if they would've sent him a signed shirt or ball maybe?
@@azrael4771 uhhh having TB12 and Bill shout out my name would be worth more to me than a signed piece
@@azrael4771 A shirt and a ball is meaningless with the time he has left. An item to be stored away on a shelf is probably nothing to him compared to the everlasting thought and memory he’ll carry that his 20 year long idols, acknowledged that he was out there. To most of us, celebrities feel like fairytales. Fictional people living amazing lives. But having them actually speak *to you* really makes everything feel so much more real
It's sad that they couldn't even fly to see him or something. That's the least they could've done. They just recorded a video for him and the only thing they said in it was to keep fighting. That fucking sucks if I'm honest. When they weren't even able to fly to see him in real life they at least should've done like a long video and say something nice to him and how they appreciate that he is such a big fan for so long. That man was a fan of them his entire life and the only thing he got in return is a 5 second video. These celebrities are just money machines and f them.
The fact that Matt actually became REAL friends with him, talking to him daily and doing all he did for the family speaks so much about his character. Most youtubers wouldn’t actually rearrange their lives and schedules to do this…sure they may touch base over facetime from time to time but what Matt did is so much more. God bless what these guys do and how many lives they touch and change for the better.
If I ever make it into a yes theory video I'm calling them every fucking day from that point forward.
Nobody is talking about how good a spirit Luke is. That’s a friend everyone needs
luke is awesome
That’s like everyone in Australia tbh
Stevie Leticq I wanna go to Australia
Yeah, that guy is a real one
He's a better Luke than i could ever be
Imagine how hard it was to edit this and look back at all the footage...
Isabel Flood I feel like more sad the he was
not that hard
@@xddappy then upload a 2 hour video on your channel *(Must be edited)*
DappyXD for heartless people
@@xddappy are You Totally nuts!,
He passed away only 3 weeks after her wedding. He lived for her happiness. Upon Patriots sending him personal message, and after seeing her wedding and her happiness, he had everything he ever wished for. I can say one thing for sure, and that is that heaven got one new beautiful angel.
This comment is everything !! ♥️♥️♥️
Dang it! This is the comment that made me sob 😭
I know how Xavier felt. I’m disabled. I have a condition that makes my bones weak and due to that I can’t walk without holding anything. Alhamduillah I survived 12 surgeries and countless fractures. And I’m only 14.
I know. The pain, the suffering.
Trust me Yes Fam. I know it all.
May allah grant you good health.
Osteogenesis imperfecta ?
If only I could transfer my bone integrity over to you. Like seriously over all the accidents I’ve endured I’ve never broken a bone.
may God bless you

This happens everyday, Xavier did not die alone, he was loved and cherished , the Australian gentlemen went to great lengths to make sure Xavier had some exciting moments, wish the world had more of those 2, thanks for sharing. Rip Xavier
yo papi absolutely right my boy
man... I was in the hospital for 40 days and had multiple heart/ lung surgeries and im only 17, My whole family and doctors thought I wasnt gonna be able to live, and when Xavier said he has moments about wanting to give up I know how he feels, my life will never be the same that it was before, but I'll always fight for my family and friends, This video made me cry multiple times cause I understand Xavier. I pray for EVERYBODY and ANYBODY who is going thru anything.
We love you, stay strong champ
Stay strong champ
stay strong bro!
"Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal.” -Eckhart Tolle
How is that better
@@infogames2724 it means birth is good, the creation of life, the opposite of death. And life is eternal
Songs Instrumental cool but what does this have to do with he’s theory
@@Doom_State what does your comment have to do with anything in the video? He just stated an interesting quote, which about 600 people agree with, while you just up and argue with him for no good reason.
The meaning of life is death. You live to one faitful day, die. The meaning of death is life. If you were not to live you wouldnt have died.
"I looked at the Devil straight in the face" most BadAss thing ever said.
Wasn’t badass to him, he was forced his cards. He had to, otherwise he wouldn’t have. A soul that will be remembered forever
@@Halamadridistas he wasn't forced to, he had 2 choices. Give up or look at the devil in the eye.
Multiple times man
I hope you're finally able to rest, Xavier. Thanks for all the smiles you left in your wake.
I felt every moment of this vlog. Xavier was so brave yet so humble, what a beautiful soul. I too have terminal metastatic breast cancer. I was given the same prognosis. 6 years ago this July 27th (my husband’s birthday), I was told I had 3 to 6 months to live. The cancer was extremely aggressive and had spread from my breast to all of my spine and 2 ribs. I had a tumour in my femur too. Hearing those words literally felt like someone had opened a sink hole under my feet. My husband and my mum were with me when I was given the diagnosis. I immediately felt I needed to protect them, so I said, I accept I have cancer but I won’t ever accept my prognosis. I was 43 with one son (who’s on the autistic spectrum) and 4 step children (my husbands children). The most difficult thing I have ever had to do, is tell my son it was terminal cancer. He was 18 at the time, just turning 19. I couldn’t lie to him because he is extremely intelligent, it’s high functioning Asperger’s syndrome he has, so lying was off the table. I told him then what I’ve been saying to other cancer patients since. A prognosis is only an opinion, it’s not fact. I don’t claim the diagnosis, I never say my cancer, I say the cancer, I do this because when you say something is yours, you welcome it, you want it. I don’t want this cruel disease.
I’m on my 4th line of treatment, cancer is a b**ch, it learns how to get around the breast cancer treatments. So you get times when your treatment works and the cancer shrinks and you get so elated! Then it stops working and you start falling down that sink hole again. Then the next treatment works for a while, then stops. The emotional rollercoaster is exhausting and mentally crippling. As I’m writing this, I feel guilty because I’ve not had chemotherapy yet, it’s all been targeted treatment and hormone blocking treatment. Although I have bad side effects, it’s not like chemotherapy. I’m terrified of having chemo.
Cancer guilt is one of the hardest things to carry. The guilt that you are putting your family through so much pain because they feel so helpless. The guilt when someone you’ve met and become close to who is a cancer patient, passes away. Survivor guilt. It’s horrendous.
Watching Xavier fight the fight, I recognised his exhaustion. It’s exhaustion like no other. When you wake in the morning, you may have had 9, maybe 10 hours sleep but you literally feel like you’ve not slept for a month. I saw his guilt too. It makes you feel so inadequate. You can’t do the simplest of tasks without feeling shattered and that makes you feel like a burden. But, I saw his smile too, believe me, those moments are incredible because for a while you forget your ill. Thank you for holding space for Xavier, it was beautiful to watch and thank you for giving me an opportunity to write what I have. Holding space for someone who is terminally ill, literally takes the weight off them for that time and it’s such a relief and blessing.
Sleep gently Xavier.
Just love one another and always be kind AND live every single second of your life, really live. 🥰

This is one of those videos where you're just on the verge of tears the entire time you're watching it. You guys have amazing souls. I'll never get tired of this channel
on the verge isn’t even the word to describe me watching this… i cried from the start & all the way through. ughhhh 😩
@@yamiles
Yes, same xx
I've been in Matt's situation, watching a friend slowly die from liver cancer. I'm not on the verge of tears. I'm full out crying.
It's been 2 years since this was posted. Xavier's story, as well as the story of his family, is still reaching people. I hope he is partying it up in the afterlife, and I hope his family is doing well! ❤️
This means so much ❤️
this had me ugly crying
rest in peace Xavier
I am only 11 minute into the video...wait he passed??
At 29:29 he did pass away
rest in peace man...
harty same... may he rest in piece. He’s inspired me to keep on moving no matter what... rest easy man you will always be in my heart
Rest In Peace

Xavier, wherever you are, thank you for being such a tough fighter. Thank you Matt for sharing this.
Trippy watching this, I was 26 around that time in 2019 and was told I was on borrowed time myself. I was told October 15th that no doctor would attempt to fix the large vascular malformation inside my brain because of the dangers. Living what you understand to be your final months, it does something to your soul. This guy’s spirit was strong. Walk free in paradise man 🙏
To you as well. Hope you are doing better
If you don't mind me asking. How are you doing now?
@@kidfrankie54 well they got it out, it was “difficult” let’s say and caused a lot of damage but they got it out and I’m alright. Some things have been a struggle but I’ve pretty much returned to normal life.
@@azadisoleil6319 cheers bro. Thank you for the response. You got a stranger rooting for you
@@kidfrankie54 I thank you. It’s been a journey. My body has healed oddly well, I think my mind may need work throughout the rest of my life though.
"When we're born, we're all diagnosed with the same condition - death." - The fact that he lived 4 years longer then the doctors expected means you can do what you want *Don't give up and it will happen*

Aye, he made it to his goal of 26. I am proud of him.
Dr. tells me I have a yr to live. After watching this video I feel so much more hope. I hope anybody watching this gets the message that a loved one needs love and support more than ever!! May have had a lot to do with Xavier living as long as he did. Some of us die alone and I am willing to bet that some of them gave up too soon :( Matt is an Angel ! a rare human being with a huge heart ! I wish there were many like him ! Thank you Matt for this inspiring video!
Hey Gayle I hope you're still here with us
Hi Gayle!! Keep fighting girl!!!
It’s sad seeing how much weight he lost...
It reminds me of my dead grandmother. She lost a bunch of weight when she had 1 month to live.
A good friend of mine had terminal cancer and moved back to Baltimore to be closer to his family and be treated there. I was on the phone with him one day he said "Bro you wouldn't even recognize me right now. Cancer is the greatest weight loss I've ever had! It's awesome!". He passed a couple of weeks later. One day he was fine, the next he had a diagnosis, and within what felt like a blink of an eye he was gone. In that period of time he held strong a positive. To this day that phone call reminds me to never give up. It reminds me that strength can be rallied from within no matter what. His name was Will Frawley, he was a paramedic, a fireman, and a brother. He never gave up. Don't see it as sad. See it as the greatest weight loss plan he ever had.
Matt Schmissrauter sorry for ur loss my man 😞
@@Fire_Marshall_Bill
May he rest in peace.❤
He was pretty buff though, not really fat imo
Bro I have never cried so much for a stranger, thank you for telling Xaviers story and introducing me to a man I didn’t know I needed to meet. The things we go through in life are so trivial compared to the fight this man faced. I am a better man after watching this than I was before, and for that I can thank Xavier. What a legend. Rest In Paradise champ, we’re all still rooting for you bro.
Xavier's story is humbling, inspiring, tinged with a sense of sadness and yet tremendous bravery and determination. I also noted the lovely bright coloured pens he used to do his colouring artwork, - maybe another insight the into beauty inside him.
This guy: goes to meet women's cousin who is suffering from a terminal illness.
Ends up: Being in her wedding. Becoming GREAT friends and actually close and try to make a relationship not just having a conversation for content.
Respect dude. Your a great guy to do that.
Absolutely! It was an unforgettable experience ♥️
Yes theory for you.
His mother is the sweetest woman ever.
You're a sweet woman too Zuko
Just seeing her filiming and waiting for her son's reaction while watching the video in the beginning, the words her eyes said is more than i've ever spoken in my life. God bless her♥️♥️♥️
@@Polvolk_ stop hitting on her😂
He had an absolutely perfect circle around him which was perfect and probably motivated him to fight further.
cal for real
My 10 year old daughter has liver disease too, but somewhat healthy, I hope she doesn't suffer any more but I hope she has the strength that Xavier has
God will bless her🙏
I'm not usually an emotional person, but the last few minutes of this video never fails to make me cry. Thank you Matt and to the Yes Theory team for sharing the story of this wonderful young man. And to his amazing family - thank you for showing the world what it truly means to love unconditionally.

CZcams: recommends me this video 3 months later
Me too, I just got recommended this an hour ago.
I just got recommended this video
honestly i wish i could meet them they’re amazing☹️
Just Get Recommend This Video To
I saw this as a meme on Reddit and searched the video
Im happy that Yes Theory kept in touch with the Aussie guy.
Waddup Broskis! Same
Not just that, but the energy he brought into the house when he came, it put a such smile on my face!
When someone can be nice to you, has a good story, you know you have a good bond, please just keep your friends, you will never have a million. Keep the ones who you had a moment with and make a bond, connect for a few days and boom you can be together for years
This video and the authenticity of love and empathy gives me chills. Matt you are awesome and yes theory are awesome by staying in touch wit those you meet. And you see these people are not just for videos. Authentic and pure. Much love to xavier and his family.
I thought the exact same thing! They are TRULY GENUINE in what they do❤️
It’s been 2 years since this was made. RIP Xavier, I hope his family is doing well.
He passed away December 5, 2019. RIP 🙏
say sike rn
bro you best be joking
please bro come on
TrpXv I’m not look it up
that would be the worst Christmas and New year for that Family
Not even a single ad. Big respect
Rythm Nation yeah at least these guys don’t put ads on their videos, when it’s about something like this
True... They have a huge heart
I feel like everyone would be okay with ads if all the money they made from this vid was funneled towards research for Xavier’s disease. With an okay from the family of course
4 ads
If they did put ads they'd probably donate the money to cancer research
You honored Xavier, his family, and his memory, so thoroughly, just by being there. By sharing Xavier and his family's story, you've helped me and so many others know, love, and get inspired by him.
I have been watching Yes Theory for quite some time and I have never commented, in fact I have never commented on CZcams.. however I felt inclined to write this and how this video displays a true fighter, what a gentleman Xavier was.. A true and kind hearted soul. May you rest in peace and fly high with the angels sir. Love from England.
Yes theory makes the most meaningful content out there
Gordy Dix hands down
Um lazarbeam drove a virtual truck across Europe in 12 hours
They just understand life better than the rest of us
Facts.
Yes, Justine Bieber eating a burrito sideways was very meaningful
the amount of times I balled my eyes out watching this is a testament to the beautiful and strong will xavier displayed and I can only wish that when I face my ineviatable end I can be as strong as this man was. Ive known about this man for 30minutes however him and his story has moved me, and Im sure many others. Ig what I really want to say is Im glad that although he has passed he will be forever be imortalised in my heart but also millions of others who have been touched by hit story. RIP Xavier romero.
I have just landed on this video and it shook me... I turn 26 very soon and it blows my mind to think that life can end right there. Xavier is a hero, a warrior and an example for anyone, ill or not. His cousin (and the rest of the family), Matt and Luke are absolute angels if they do exist. May his memory live on forever.
Thanks Eva!
26 years old, that’s really sad. I can’t believe how well he dealt with all this. I really don’t think I’d have been as strong as Xavier. This video is as good a tribute as you can get.
I agree
It made me cry😥. I always get sad when someone younger than me dies💔. I ask why couldn't they have more time?
Since I knew I would have died I would have donated my organs...hoping that someone will live instead of me
26 year old he’s only about 3 months older than me
Yeah I am 26 and I cant believe he went away that young but I know how fragile and short life is. One moment we are at the top and good and the other moment we could be somewhere else. Wish you all health guys and that life treats you kindly. My prayers and best wishes to those who are down and sick :(
Despite what he's been through, man the Australian dude is filled with positive energy.
Um he was there for 5 mins and is still alive.
@@Halamadridistas He never said Luke died. He's just saying Luke's filled with a ton of positive energy, even after given a 3% chance to live.
I love to see that they're still connected and communicating with Luke. So glad that I bump to their CZcams Channel. You bring us joy and lessons in every video that you made. Keep inspiring. May your soul Rest in Paradise Xavier.
I literally cried the whole video. The magic you guys bring in peoples lives is so breathtakingly lovely, there are no words to describe. God, that white light truly exists with humanity as yourselves. Have fallen in deep love ❤️ with your channel……. True angels 😇 here on earth!
Rest in the most beautiful Peace 💗 Hero 🦸♂️
Cancer is just so horrible, id never wish it on anyone not even my worst enemy. My condolences to Xavier’s family.

dumb ass ....in the video it said that he had a rare form of liver cancer... that’s a form of cancer
The sad part is how this is only one of the millions of stories; Cancer sucks shit really made me cry
It really does. My oldest brother would be 39 today of cancer hadn't taken him.
@@whitneypickle I'm sorry about that
Just trust God. We can always Trust God.
unfortunately I don’t trust a god, I’m my own controller, I am MY higher power. I respect that you do though, it’s all belief.
Personally I don’t think that your religious maters during death but we can end life with positivity. Now I am the type of guy to make jokes about things and that’s what got me through my Grandmas death she died from lung cancer she would’ve been 83 tomorrow but unfortunately she is not here to celebrate it but we are. And basically when death comes around don’t be serious be funny make a joke because those seconds will go down in history in your families mind, your friends mind and everyone who you loved will want to see you happy and that is what is important.
luke is one of the sweetest people ive ever seen omg 😭
A lot of the comments I've read on this video talk about how they relate to Xavier in one way or another. I don't have my own story to share but I couldn't just skip over this and not say anything. Rest in Peace Xavier. You will always be loved.
my heart is totally broken, his mother filming everything so she can have something to hold on when he's gone...
I think that's what made me the saddest 😭
Awwww I didn't even think about that .......craaaap here I go again 😭😭😭😭
I thought the same as I was watching. And his spirit was amazing, what trivial problems we have when things are put into perspective
Damn it. I wasn't even thinking about that. Now I'm crying again.
Agree its sad
He died in December. I’m glad he got to live until his cousins wedding and his birthday. May his soul be blessed, and safe now. If your wondering if I’m lying just watch the whole video. Fly high. 🕊💛
What's your snap I want to see
Yael Calixto Why
Are you sure?
Crypto if u watch the whole video then ull see
Mine died December 16 2019 :(
I can see pure empathy in Matt's eyes. Matt became a close companion to the whole family and on top of that introduced a kind hearted soul to lift them up. True warriors 👏💕
My dad died from cancer in 2017 and watching this reminds me of him may he rest in pace so sorry for their loss men that Touched my heart😔🖤
This video made me realize something. It could be anyone’s last 3 months, last 3 weeks, last 3 days, last 3 hours, last 3 minutes, and last 3 seconds. Those last 3 should be the best 3 ever. Each one should be better than the last. When I look at Xavier, he didn’t get to go to the wedding. And that was something that hurt him. For other people it may not be a wedding that puts them down. It could be anything. Something we say, the way we look at them, and most importantly the way we treat them. So after watching this video I realized, that no matter who it is. Treat everyone like it’s their last 3. Years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Cause you wouldn’t want to leave our beautiful earth being laughed at or made fun of. You’d wanna leave being loved, and with people that treat you like it’s your last 3.
Thats some wholesome deep shiz right there
Damn that's crazy
Wow that’s quite a comment
Wow man i literally cried in the first time of life by seeing a comment.
Honestly tho i dont really care what people will think about me when i'm gone. They can laugh, they can step on my gravestone, they can hate me i dont really care cause by that time, well... I'm gone. But one thing that i will certainly do now as i'm living right at this moment that i'll living the life to help more PEOPLE in my own unique ways. What you said about "YOU don't want people have bad perception to you when you're gone" is really not the kind of mindset that i agree with and it's sure giving me fear & anxiety that i need to be "perfect" in everything that i do so people will "accept" me as the reward of doing something "good". That statement is also counter-intuitive if you want to live the life of impacting other people live for good, because most of the time people like that always go against the mainstream and by going against mainstream means you will do alot of things that may cause people around you dislike what you do. And that statement mentality is just not going to support it. You could have said it better like "No matter what people said about you, do the things what you feel right no matter whether they like it or not, believe in yourself first and eventually they will believe in you." Because if you're trully have a goodwill no matter what you do that make them dislike you now, they will LOVE you in the end.
Hey, he made it almost 6 times past his prognosis. That’s one tough dude.
F for Xavier
I was given 12-18 months last year. They said I'd start to feel it at 6 months. Physically, I don't. But mentally, I appreciate a lot more. I watch the sunrise whenever I can (cancer screws with when you're tired/awake). Lose your hair, teeth. They don't talk about that in movies.
I know that with what I look like now, I could never be an inspirational video. And the things on my bucket list, I'm not capable of doing. I mostly go to the 3 blocks from the hospital, to the mall, and watch people (before the quarantine ). And I try and live through them. It's all I can do.
@@TheTechAdmin I hope you get better and be able to enjoy the world now and after quarantine.
@@TheTechAdmin Hope you get better man! i really do, but chemo consequences are different for everybody i guess, my dad is the strongest dude i know by far, he was diagnosted 4 years ago lung cancer and metastasis (head tumor and some others, i never knew all of them for my own mental stability), he's the only cancer patient in europe with over 36 chemos, and he has over 50 already, my dad is 64 years old this month and is still strong as hell, his hair didnt fall once, he only lost his armpits and legs hair haha, sometimes he's really tired and feels awful, doesn't sleep right and such, but physical syntoms are not as showable as you said, he was given 6 months 4 years ago, and he still wakes up everymorning and acts like superman, i hope he's a motivation for everyone struggling with cancer, and remember mental and attitude is everything!
Michael Antonio Good luck man best wishes :)
Watching this again, and crying again. Yes Theory are angels on earth. The connections they build with people from all walks of life, uniting them with each other. Luke going above and beyond to impart his joy and understanding... This is what life is about isn't it? The connections we make, the things that unite us, the things we share... this is just a beautiful video. Thank you
This is the kind of genuine, heartfelt CZcams content that should go viral with >100M views
”Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal.”
Birth -> death
Life -> being dead
Yeah I don't mean to be anticlimactic but there kind of is an opposite
R4ktooN Anon being dead is a state of being, life isn’t.
@@Random-zk2sc This. Just facts, as sad and meaningless as this all is... It's only true.
Could stagnation be the opposite of life? Not progressing forward.
@@eneskaya7307 the word "life" is the noun for "living", I said the opposite of life is being dead because being dead doesn't have a specific noun, but just because there isn't an English word for it doesn't mean an opposite doesn't exist.
If I ever get diagnosed with a terminal illness first thing on my bucket list is meet the 3 strangers I've been watching for 3 years.
Thank you for making me cry and laugh at the same time
Mine would be to be positive do not let my guard down and in those 3 seconds do a forwards roll and say peace out just end on a positive note
Onyx ikr it’s so cool how they all connected through this one channel and we get to see the real life relationship
Wut? 3 strangers? Penny for an explanation
@@silverforrest6886 the Yes Theory boys
I’m a 15 year old boy who didn’t cry for like 5 years, but this video, it made me cry. The power, strength Xavier had. The things he went trough. It’s just unfair that such a guy with a whole future in front of him needs to go trough this. Rest in Peace Xavier❤️🕊
Get used to crying throughout life, there’s nothing wrong with it at all.

Oh man… i will never ever complain for anything in my life.This story touch me so much… rest in peace Xavier
This touched my so much. I was in a coma for 67 days. Like Xavier said there’s days when I just wanna give up. It’s actually a daily struggle. I try to remain strong for my family and friends, but I wonder if they know how much I struggle? So thank you guys for giving me 30 mins while viewing this story to give my peace and gain strength for today. RIP Brother
I hope that every person that disliked this video finds happiness and find a way to enjoy life
What about the people who liked? (I disliked tho)
the people who like are normal and your weird for liking your own comment
Yes.
@@uninstall0491 but I didn't tho
@@mg-ej4po I wish them happiness and everything best too, no need to leave people out, but to those who disliked, they might need it more
"When we're born, we're all diagnosed with the same condition... death." Wow, that hit way harder than I expected. Man, this video had me in constant tears, so well done and just so wonderful of you all to arrange. This is why I'm such a big fan of you guys, moments like these where you go above and beyond for someone. I didn't expect the ending though, that broke my heart. He seemed like such a wonderful man, and had such wonderful friends and a wonderful family there for him and caring for him. Rest in peace, Xavier. 💔
Loomis yummy
I feel like everyone crys at the end.
@@jxkubpiatek7551 wtf
hello, i am 15 and have lost both my dad in 2014 (pancreatic) and my stepdad in 2019 (brain) to cancer. watching both of the men in my life until their last days i can say that your spirit really does change everything and without your spirit and your fight you have nothing. xavier kept his spirit to the very end and that is absolutely remarkable i am so proud of anyone who is going through the same battles and remember to keep hope. please continue to keep hope for those who fought to the end! all of my love x
The biggest thing I love about the yes theory guys is that everyone they meet they stay in touch with and continue to grow their relationship with them. It’s amazing how they truly care about humans and the people they meet.
These are 30 minutes I wouldn’t want to replace with anything.
I'd rather have watched porn

I never realise how lucky I am to be alive, until I watch this... Xavier, you will be remembered.
I’m late to this but that man that legend held for 3 week past the weeding for his cousin to be able to have a beautiful wedding without having to deal with his end right before she got married R.I.P ❤️
I feel bad taking my life for granted. Xavier has been fighting for himself everyday, appreciating each and everyday he lives. RIP Xavier❤️
Carlo.Strange when someone is fighting for a life to get more
longer some people are losing hope to live in this world. And count me in. Im tired to live but When i saw him fighting for about years and his sufferings. 😢
I totally agree with this.
People who Disliked were crying so hard they missed the Like button
Or maybe, they don't like sad stuff. Do you like something when it gives you negative emotions?
Donald Westfall well how could you dislike a video like this?
@@korbinosborn3276 Maybe they don't want to encounter with deep stuff like this. But always, never bother the dislikes, whether it's a video or your real life. You'd get trapped in that negativity forever.
Look out for positivity, there will always be people who won't like you no matter how good you are, so always look out for what's good for you and carry on👍.
@@korbinosborn3276 Cause it is sad? Maybe you need to reread my question.
Donald Westfall it shouldn’t really matter if it gave you negative emotions. A man in this video passed away, so it doesn’t seem exactly “appropriate” to dislike it, you know what I mean?
If I could switch places with this man I would , he is a fighter and has so much that he wants to live for , me on the other hand I’m lonely and I hate my life and I know that makes me sound ungrateful but it’s a feeling I can’t change no matter how much I try that’s why I wish life could be fair and I could take his place . God bless you man
You may not know this, but you are here for a reason, we all are. I hope that you can keep pushing and see the value you bring to others. You dont know me, but I care about you.
I dont know if this is meant to be said but take care of yourself.
This happens everyday, Xavier did not die alone, he was loved and cherished , the Australian gentlemen went to great lengths to make sure Xavier had some exciting moments, wish the world had more of those 2, thanks for sharing. Rip Xavie
Nobody is talking about how good a spirit Luke is. That’s a friend everyone need
Hey Yes Theory! To be honest i am one of those viewers who watches videos but never interacts in the comments, I'm a silent viewer. At the time of me posting this comment, there are over 8000 comments so the chances of this being seen are probably slim but this video has pulled me out from my silent watching. I truly appreciate you guys not stepping away from talking about a subject that effects every single person on earth but no one seems to want to talk about it. Death. There I said the big, scary word and it turns out that it wasn't that scary to say after all.
My brother was 26 years old when he tragically died while camping with his girlfriend and their 18 month old son...he was struck by lightning. There is nothing that can prepare you for this kind of news and there is not much that can help you grieve through the loss of someone close to you. However with that being said the one that I have found throughout the years is that we all seek human connection especially when faced with death. Death makes us reflect on what is truly important in life and it makes us cherish those still with us even more. Why do you think people have funerals?? The funeral is more for us living people than it is for the one who passed away because we seek out comfort in those who are also hurting and we don't want to be alone in our hurting. Anyways this video was amazing!
Everybody, please upvote Kayla's comment. Yes Theory needs to read this.
Kayla, I am so sorry for your loss.
Kayla De Launais sorry to hear that my condolences
Shut up you write so much
Phantom Knight that’s so rude
Phantom Knight get the hell out of here
About six months ago, my dad was diagnosed with terminal Leukemia. All the treatments that they tried had no effect, and the cancer progressed rapidly. It's a very real fear of mine that every time i make the 5 hour drive back to college after a weekend visit that that will be the last time i see my father. thank you so damn much for even just trying to bring family together, because nothing is more important than family.
Be strong! Your dad needs you and know you can do it. Much love to you and to your dad!
We’re here for you both💗Keep being strong through these hard times.
Hang in there my dear . Your dad needs you to be stronger more then ever . My sister was diagnosed with cancer 11 years ago and it reoccured back again last year aswell she was diagnosed with a second altogether. It's been a rough couple of years now running around to the hospital. I keep telling myself that I need to be strong for her more then ever so hang in there love . Sending prayers to your dad and to your whole family .💟
I'm not being a dick-head but try be as healthy as you can be :). I wish you and everyone all the best.
Tell him to follow Jesus
Life is unfair. May him rest in peace
i love how matt is still friend with them!
God damn, it really hurts that a person like this passes away.
He's the kinda person we all love
My hero! ♥️
Amen!
Amen!
Wr3x yes so sad! Amazing person!
Rip
Luke could not pronounce anything in Spanish but he still has the best energy
he's actually so chill as well
literally a so chill dude with more positive vibes than nearly anyone I know
This channel makes me cry more than anything else on the internet. I have mixed feelings about turning people's struggles into entertainment, but you guys genuenly seem to care about the people you meet on your adventures and its heart warming.
I'm a 61yo disabled man and I just wanted to say thank you for doing this video, it gave me strenght...
Rest in peace. he passed away December 5th 2019 :( you fought for as long as you could. I'm so sorry! My heart goes out to those who loved and cared for him. 😭
What does he leave on this earth? What is the effect of this video?
I think I value life more now and believe more in fighting, But at the end of the day the only thing that matters is love and the people. Love and the people. I've been saying this for a while...
@@latifalujain2758 It was September 26th 2019 not December 26th 2019.
He died on my 14th birthday...
Rest in peace
He made it to his birthday!

That's where you realize that all your little problems are just nothing.
First world problems
So true man, so true.
Yes there’s a point where they become so minuscule but that doesn’t mean your problems are invalid :p
I recently lost my mom to cancer, I cannot thank you guys enough for providing Xavier so much love and happiness. I know how it is to loose someone close and I can’t help but feel for that family with the losses they have gone through, I am just so very thankful that you made this strangers last moments the best moments of a lifetime
This documentary was so well done. Xavier was clearly an amazing human being who lived an incredible life. It is such an inspiration for all of us to see Xaviers courage and fight against this horrible disease. My Mom passed away from a glioblastoma form of brain cancer in 2014 at the young age of 59. So I have witnessed first hand the difficult journey of a cancer diagnosis. But to watch Xaviers story really inspires me to live my best life every day. Thanks for sharing this amazing story of a life that was far too short but that was lived to its fullest all the way to the end.
The ones who disliked were crying so hard that they thought it was the like button.
Or were too shocked that he died :(
Or It was Luke from Australia who liked it
Or they were trying to wipe their tears off of the screen and hit the dislike button by accident.
Or maybe you should come up with an original comment because that comment is overrated:)
estrxlla oh shut up
This story proves that a stranger is a friend you haven’t met yet.
Xavier, you are a legend. Rest easy brother.
Seriously, feel so shameful right now for ever feeling “depressed”. I feel so weak sometimes and it doesn’t even come close to what this man is going through. What a hero Xavier is. To everyone in this video, so much love and respect ❤️
Don't feel ashamed about that, it's not your fault.
Depression is an illness like any other
Don't feel ashamed, but I know the feeling. We all go through things and sometimes you have to look after your mental health. Xx
hey friend, fighting through depression is such an accomplishment on its own. please don't demean your experience while empathizing with someone in a different situation! the fact that you're still alive fighting speaks just as much to your strength as well. you're doing great!
When did becoming self deprecating become trendy? Why do we have to put ourselves down to bring others up? Your experience is just as valid as Xavier’s was. Im sure he wouldn’t appreciate seeing so many people insulting themselves and devalue their own life experiences so they can glorify him. At least I wouldn’t. Besides, we’ll all die eventually. Who’s to say we wont be diagnosed with the same thing as him one day?
As I witnessed my mom struggling with cancer for ten years before she died, and recently a colleague from work died by cancer at the age of 31..
Already the beginning of this video brought tears in my eyes. A lot of respect for what you guys have done. 🙏
Luke is a blinding light in this world and everyone he touches he brings magic too, I’m so grateful he and Xavier were able to meet ❤️
Luke is so awesome and such a bright spark. Always has a smile on his face. What an inspiration
Luke?
