I wasn't a huge fan of his artwork, but from all the testimonials and remembrances I'm reading, he sounds like a stand-up guy who maintained a very optimistic attitude in the face of a life-threatening disease, and always turned in his art on time regardless of what was happening. His efforts to be there for his fans and put forth 100% in his work sound very impressive. Certainly, the passing of any honorable professional whose work was a fan favorite (for many sections of fandom) is a sad event... and he was quite young.

I think he fought his cancer for seven years, which is remarkable, heartening, yet so sad. I have a friend that is six months into chemo round II (her cancer returned in another location) and it's a ghastly process.

What an epic struggle Michael Turner must have faced.

As Joss Whedon stated elsewhere - FUCK CANCER.
