Toddler Jack Lacey’s smile “changed” in early 2019. Jack’s parents thought that the way their son’s adorable grin became crooked was simply a gimmick. It was not, and turned out to be a tragically missed early warning sign of an inoperable brain tumor.

On Feb. 10, 2020, 12 months after Jack’s devastating diagnosis, the 4-year-old passed away at home in his parents’ arms. His father, 29-year-old Wesley Lacey, took to Facebook to break the devastating news.
