Beckjord’s Cancer Advances
Posted by: Loren Coleman on February 1st, 2008
Almost exactly one year ago, Jon-Erik Beckjord reported he had cancer. He’s broadcasting an update.
Jon-Erik Beckjord has posted the following on his forum:
My enemies will rejoice. It comes to us all. To some earlier; to some later. Like Rene Dahinden, I have advanced prostate cancer and it has advanced to the bones. I was warned on the Lummi Indian Reservation that if you see Bigfoot/Sasquatch too often, it is a sign they are taking you to them, to join them…Roger Patterson got the best Bigfoot movie of all time, 58 sec, and within four years passed on with Lymphatic cancer (Parkenson’s disease [?] ). Bob Titmus also suffered cancer and he had a number of very excellent sightings. He survived quite a long time but it got him in the end….Bob Gimlim has had four heart by-pass operations. His time, too, is limited….The ride, however, has been one hell of a ride, and I have met some fabulous people, and learned some incredible things. I’m 68, Dahinden was 70, Titmus was in his 80s. I’ve crammed in a life of 200 years into one life.Jon-Erik Beckjord, January 30, 2008.
Part of the reason for his posting? He wants to sell his copy of the Patterson-Gimlin footage for a million dollars, again.
As I said when I first heard about his cancer, despite Beckjord’s bad boy reputation, a guy who has even been banned from Wikipedia, I wish cancer on no one.
My hope is for Beckjord to have some painless moments during what life is left for him.

Very well said Loren. Cancer is one something nobody should go through. Watched my dad go through it, and it was not fun.
May Peace be with him
I wish no ill will on any one. My family has also been touched by cancer. This said I do not believe that any one who has seen a Bigfoot once or several times contracts cancer from that experience.
They may have to change there under ware………..just an old wolf thinking out loud.
hey everyone wow i feel so bad that erik beckjord cancer has advanced but maybe it will go remission, thanks bill green
Loren, you are a class act!!!
I agree with all the above commenters. Regardless of Mr. Beckjord past feuds and actions, we should wish for him all the best in this terrible struggle.
Loren,
Thanks for the post on EB. It was a class act.
Most of us who are visible in the community have at one time or another found ourselves in communication with him or as a victim of his sometimes sarcastic wit.
However, I don’t know anybody in the community who would wish on him what he has reported regarding his cancer. I certainly wouldn’t even though he’s not my most popular person.
We can only hope that God eases the pain of what he must endure in the near future.
My best
I wish him well and hope that he beats it. I’ve seen it take two of my family. The chemotherapy is devastating. Seeing my sister lose her hair, her weight, her life savings and eventually her will to live would want anyone to donate as much as possible to the American Cancer Society on a regular basis. We have to find a cure. Cancer can be defeated, we just need to bolster clinical study of the disease.
Agreed to all the above. I wouldn’t wish this disease on anyone. Great job on this Loren!
