American Expat JOE GARRISON Dies After Long Fight with Cancer in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

and I can't stand the word 'fight' in the thread. Once metastasized it's no fight, it's fate.
thats the kicker, he did FIGHT it, by traveling to kl an having operations.
They told him it was gone, he made a trip in 2018 to the states to visit friends/family there and found out it had returned
Sad part is he was unable to return to Cambodia to see Wan and his daughter before he passed.


BY the way, many do successfully fight cancer, ( 2 of my cousins beat it)
Sorry Richard, not in the mood for semantic games in this thread.

RIP brave man, it's heartbreaking.

I didn't know him, beyond a few words in passing here and there.

RIP, Joe. Another of the good ones lost.

Slowly the old crew is dropping off...

I realize that this post is way out of date and everyone has moved on, but I have only just started to re-establish links with friends in and around Cambodia and South East Asia after a ten year absence and consequently only just heard of the passing of Joe. I knew Joe from another board and met him several times. He visited us when I lived in Chiang Mai and he was one of the nicest guys I ever had the privilege of knowing. I am gutted to hear that he is no longer alive.

If anyone recognizes my handle from way back then, I would love to hear from you. I will be back in South East Asia later in the year and would welcome the chance to catch up.
