MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa. — A young man and newlywed passed away yesterday at his home after a battle with Ewing sarcoma.

Channel 11 News started following 18-year-old Brady Hunker's story in April when the Mt. Pleasant High School senior said he wanted to marry his long-time girlfriend.

She had been with him since the beginning of his battle.

Hunker and Mollie Landman married back in July.
