10/11/2015

Early this morning, just after midnight, TJ passed away peacefully surrounded by his wife Amanda, his family and pups by his side. TJ’s last few weeks were spent with the ones he loved - visiting with friends and family, lighting wish lanterns over a calm Nantucket Sound, and listening ...

to stories he read as a child. TJ experienced the super moon lunar eclipse, a occurrence that hasn’t been seen since 1982, the year he was born.
Every moment a memory, every minute cherished.
He is no longer in any physical or mental pain. He is at peace.

"Good does come from all evil"
"You will notice, often times after the most ferocious of storms what follows is the most beautiful of days... And in the end there is always peace."

"What lies ahead is no longer bound by our human bodies, restrained by the physicality of time, space and age. There is no more pain, no more ferocious storm to fight.. instead what follows is the most beautiful of days and everlasting peace."

All of my Love,
Teej

i have been following TJ's journey since 2013 shortly after my 35 year old husband had been diagnosed with stage IV gastric cancer. I was looking for stories of hope and encouragement for my Rob and this blog was nothing short of either even in my husband's final days. I am so saddened to hear of TJs passing and wish the family peace and comfort during this unbearable time. Rest in peace TJ...another warrior gone too soon, but not without leaving a tremendous mark in this world.

Everyone in this world should be as fortunate as those who were lucky enough to call you their friend. Love you!

He was always in high spirits during 1st Alpha testing on H-Hour,think he and I were on around the clock that 1st 2 weeks and he was always making jokes and laughing,and thats how he'll be remembered to me. Wish I knew him on a more personal level outside of gaming.

TJ was a warrior! He gave it his best and now it is time for him to rest. You only loose to cancer if you stop fighting and TJ never stopped fighting. TJ fought with his body, brain, and heart to the end. As he told me via email on September 3rd:
"Right now all my matches have been lit and I'm rocketing forward to crush this shit out of me. You are never going to hear our see quit from me. I only have two speeds from now on, forward and rest. Keep trucking."

TJ taught me lessons that will carry with me forever.

Sorry for the loss of your beloved warrior, Baudanzas. You also did everything you could to help TJ fight and should be very proud.

I was fortunate to be a neighbor to TJ and Amanda in the South End until 2012. Until then, I only knew Angela (L-S classmate) and Tracey (brothers classmate). As I got to know TJ, I learned of his battle with cancer and his blog. I have closely followed him since moving out of the city. I was so sad to learn that TJ passed away. His spirit is still so strong that it's hard to believe. I knew TJ touched a lot of people, but the support has been even more than I knew. TJ, you supported both Connor and Greg, both family friends, in a way that was so unconditional. I am sure we will all continue to see your impact for years to come. We'll continue this fight for you TJ and you will be missed always. Angela, Tracey, Amanda and the Baudanza's - I am so sorry for your loss. Liv

We weren't fortunate enough to know TJ. We only new of him through his Uncle Mark, who adored him. We are so sorry for your loss. Just reading all of this makes me cry for you. I lost my twin brother at the young age of 16. They are always with us. God Bless!
