A plumber who famously confronted then-candidate Barack Obama on his tax plan during the 2008 presidential election has passed away.

Joseph Wurzelbacher, or “Joe the Plumber,” died on Sunday morning, according to Ohio locals who knew him.

"Horrible news. My good friend Joe Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, passed away this morning at the age of 49 from pancreatic cancer. He was a good man and an exceptional friend. Please consider helping his widow and young children here"

Wurzelbacher had been living with pancreatic cancer before his death at the age of 49.

Aw, I’m sorry to hear that. He was a good man and he made a difference.

R.I.P., Joe.

Prayers up for his loved ones.

Terrible news for his family. But perhaps his unwanted fame will help them receive funds. Pancreatic cancer is a rapid killer; no mercy. May God bless his wife and children, and erase all his pain and suffering.
