Beloved Christian singer Brian Doerksen has died after a battle with stage 4 cancer.
Doerksen, 60, died “peacefully” in his sleep at his family home in Abbotsford, Canada, on Tuesday, according to a social media announcement.
“Till the very end, Brian continued to love those around him, encouraging them in who they are, and shared incredible gratitude to those in the medical field who tried their best to help him,” read the announcement shared to Facebook.
The “Purify My Heart” singer was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in July after suffering medical issues since February.
Scans indicated a “mass in the pelvis and spots on the liver, lungs, and near the heart,” according to a GoFundMe page.
He is survived by his wife Joyce and six adult children — all of whom have Fragile X syndrome, a genetic condition causing intellectual disability, Christian Daily reported
