UNC Fan, Cancer Patient Dies 2 Days After Wedding

Posted Jul 14, 2009
He couldn't beat cancer, but he beat the clock. A Thomasville man stricken with cancer died early Monday, just two days after marrying his girlfriend. Anthony Mohney married Danielle Starr on Saturday. They'll forever cherish an original signed photograph by the entire 2009 National Champion UNC Chapel Hill basketball team that came with a letter from coach Roy Williams. For Anthony, a diehard Tar Heels fan, the letter and photograph was a treasured gift, but more treasured was spending his final moments with the woman he loved. (FOX 8 WGHP)
