72-year-old Patrick Mitchell loves life and always wanted to live past 100, but everything changed when he found out that he had terminal stage 4 pancreatic cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n

But his diagnosis didn\u2019t stop him from living, in fact, it motivated him to set out to do even more things during the time he has left on this Earth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitchell made a bucket list of adventures and his daughter, Vanessa, even took off work so she could accompany him and check items off. Vanessa posted on Facebook, asking people for ideas, and the response was overwhelming.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Mitchell started to feel weak and couldn\u2019t travel anymore, his daughter surprised him with a violinist who serenaded him with his favorite songs in his California backyard.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sadly, Mitchell passed away last week, but he died doing the things he loved and checking so many things off his adventurous bucket list.<\/span><\/p>\n
