Jay Kwon Yang fulfilled his dream of traveling the world — even after dying from cancer.
"Before he had the chance to realize his own dreams, cancer took him from the world and it was the hardest thing that we had ever been through, individually and as a family," his daughter, Jinna, wrote on her blog.
To realize their late father's dream, the family brought a life-size cutout of the 52-year-old dry cleaner on a tour of Europe. He was photographed in front of the Eiffel Tower, Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Colosseum in Rome and other iconic landmarks.
Jinna documented their travels on Instagram where photos quickly went viral. She encouraged others to share the story so that others could be inspired by her father's life.
