After a four year battle with cancer, Julian Ross is finally pain free. The 10 year-old Oswego boy passed away from Stage IV Neuroblastoma Saturday August 8, at 3:30AM.

The family broke the news on Facebook:

"Julian is my best friend and hero. Everyday is going to be hard and while you're not with me physically you live forever inside of me and everyone you touched. I've never hurt as much as I do today but my pain is nothing compared to the four year battle you courageous fought and won. Cancer may have taken your physical body, but it could never touch you."

Julian was diagnosed with cancer of the adrenal gland at age 6 and after 4 relapses, doctors told the family there is nothing more they can do.

Thousands of people from around the world have followed Julian's journey on Facebook, not only praying for him but also helping Julian cross items off his bucket list. The gifts started rolling in; from hockey jerseys and Disney gifts to a new Xbox.

In addition to the gifts and prayers, people have donated thousand to Julian's Joust campaign to help the family cover medical costs and funeral expenses at GoFundMe.com/Juliansjoust. Since Julian wanted this "bad army" never to affect anyone else, the family is hoping everyone will help him fulfill this one open item on his bucket list by continuing to donate to cancer research.

Julian's last message to his family, friends and Facebook followers came in a poem:

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I've found that peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch,

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
