ATKINSON - Andy Hoffman, father to Cornhuskers fan and brain cancer patient Jack Hoffman — died Monday in Atkinson at 42 years old. His funeral was live-streamed Saturday morning.

Hoffman raised more than $8 million for Team Jack, a fundraising organization to end brain cancer. His efforts to fight the cancer began when his son was diagnosed with it at just five years old. 

The boy became a viral icon when the Huskers let him play on the field. 

Now, Hoffman will be remembered not only for his efforts to fight brain cancer but for his warm heart.
