This tells the story of Eric Sun, who (among other things) built Facebook's knowledge graph. He got diagnosed with a brain tumor, quit tech, and decided to pursue his life-long dream of playing the violin.

Very poignant - I hope that the rehearsals and performances were consuming and affirming distractions for Eric.

He asked his loved ones "how can I make my passing easier for you". What a wonderful person.
