Chris Bruton said his dad got sick in 2017 and just never got better.
"He had fatigue and we didn't know what it was," he said.
By January 2018, they had an answer.
"He actually had stage four kidney cancer," Bruton said. "He was basically given about two to four months to live."
When Bruton was a kid, his dad travelled a lot, so he didn't get to know his dad that well. But after Bruton's mom died, his dad moved from North Carolina to live with Bruton in Colorado. Bruton was in his 40s, his dad was in his 70s.
