Friday morning, March 22 2012, K-State lost its greatest fan, Shwan “Fatty” Alkhatib. He was in New York City taking care of his brother, Weesam Alkhatib who is undergoing cancer treatment. His family has asked in lieu of flowers that donations be made to the Shwan “Fatty” Alkhatib Memorial Fund. These donations can be made through paypal at
www.goEMAW.com or through the facebook.com/fatty4ksu page. The funds will go directly to the ongoing treatment of Weesam Alkhatib, peritoneal mesothelioma cancer research, and a memorial project to honor Shwan's legacy.
