Craig Sager's funeral service occurred on Tuesday morning, with many honoring the life of a great reporter and, most importantly, a great person.
Sager spoke with CBS recently before his death, and it ended up becoming his final television interview. It is both inspiring and extremely heartbreaking.
“I feel like I’m fighting not only for myself and my family, but I feel I am fighting for everybody who has cancer.” Ever the optimist, Sager admitted that he saw the blessings in his battle, as he sorted through and replied to a mountain of fan mail in his hospital room. “People say, ‘I’ve been a negative person all my life, and you changed my life. Now I’m more positive and happier.’
“Nobody knows how long they have left. There’s no guarantees.”
