A local comedian who used his sense of humour to battle cancer and inspire others has died.
Josh Haddon passed away Friday, according to a statement on his website.
“Josh had a big heart and will not be forgotten,” the statement said.
The 30-year-old was a much loved member of the community. He founded the Comedy Quarry at the Rockhead Pub on Ottawa Street.
Haddon was about to release a book called The Funny Thing about Cancer to help other cancer patients get through difficult times.
His website will remain up as a tribute to him.
