In August 2014 Jak was diagnosed with Gammadelta T-Cell Lymphoma (a rare form of cancer). Since then Jak had been receiving an aggressive course of treatment in Edinburgh Royal Hospital for Sick Children. However, in January 2015, Jak and his family received the devastating news that his cancer had spread and that there would be no further treatment. Sadly Jak lost his battle on Monday 2nd February, 2015. One of his wishes was to continue to increase awareness of his illness and raise money to help others. He set up a JustGiving page (www.justgiving.com/AM-Barr/) for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research.To support Jak and his wishes, West Calder High School Charity Committee has arranged for a charity football match to take place in Jak’s name at Livingston FC, Energy Assets Arena, Livingston and everyone is welcome.

Tontospal 1,116 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Rip young Jak. A brave young man who will be missed.Tragic for him and his family but this picture sums up what the club means to us all. Even in death his last thought was about Rangers.Fans may support other clubs but none come close to the depth of feeling and passion for their club as we do.It boils my blood to think the last thing this young lad probably witnessed was that display at Hampden from a bunch of incompetent cowards who have no right to, and don't deserve to, wear our colours.Young Jak did and I hope he's in a better place now.

Nemesis 277 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Rest in Peace JakBe in no doubt wee man that your fellow bears will fight to bring a Rangers back that would have made note of someone like you passing.A club that represents what you clearly felt in your heart.When u keep goal for our absent friends up there? Throw it to Cooper mate. He'll do the rest.Forever Young Jak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
