A father-of-four from Tennessee has died after battling a rare degenerative brain disorder that he was diagnosed with about a year ago.
Tony Gibson, 33, passed away on Jan. 30, at an assisted living facility near his home surrounded by family. Doctors at Vanderbilt University Medical Center diagnosed him with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), which is known as a human form of mad cow disease. The disease impacts one person in every one million per year worldwide.
