Singer/Songwriter Duane Jarvis Enters Hospice

March 30, 2009/by LB Cantrell

jarvisSinger/songwriter/guitarist Duane Jarvis, familiar to music fans both as a sideman for artists like Lucinda Williams and John Prine, as well as for his own critically acclaimed releases, has been waging a valiant battle against colon cancer over the course of the past 16 months. Jarvis’ cancer has now reached terminal status and he will no longer be seeking curative treatment. He has recently moved into an apartment near the ocean in Marina Del Rey where he is under the care of loved ones and Providence TrinityCare Hospice. The “Pray For Tomorrow Fund” has been created to help offset recent and upcoming costs related to Duane’s care and living expenses. The Fund was named for Jarvis’ inspirational song, “Live For Today, Pray For Tomorrow” from his upcoming album. Send contributions (large or small) to Pray For Tomorrow Fund, 2554 Lincoln Blvd., #1010, Venice, CA 90291. You can also contribute through PayPal by clicking here. Feel free to send cards/notes to Duane in care of the Fund or online via the CaringBridge website dedicated to Duanehttp://www.caringbridge.org/visit/duanejarvis.
