He was given months to live last June, but that didn't stop Zach Sobiech from becoming a rock star – and an inspiration to millions.
Sobiech passed away Monday, 17 days after his 18th birthday. First diagnosed with osteosarcoma when he was 14, Sobiech's music became his way of expressing himself. His song "Clouds" not only went viral last December, but also resulted in a star-studded celebrity tribute video earlier this month.
"My closure is being able to get my feelings into these songs. So [friends and family] could have something to remember me by, or lean on when I was gone," he says in a 22-minute film about his story, My Last Days: Meet Zach Sobiech, featured on SoulPancake.
From moments in the hospital, to getting the car of his dreams for a week and dancing with his girlfriend Amy in the living room or the middle of the Minnesota Vikings stadium, each minute is more moving than the last.
Even Justin Baldoni, the documentary's director, says, "I was not expecting to meet a 17-year-old who would change my life."
Members of the Sobiech family – parents Rob and Laura, and siblings Alli, Sam and Grace – ask that donations in Zach's memory go to the Zach Sobiech Osteosarcoma Fund to help carry on Zach's mission to help kids with cancer.
"It's really simple, actually," Zach says of learning to make the world a better place: "Just try to make people happy."
The newest star of The Bachelorette, which premieres May 27 on ABC, tells us the first word that comes to mind when looking at the 25 men hoping to snag a rose and steal her heart. Here's what she said ...
If you've seen 2009's The Hangover, there's no forgetting Tyler (a.k.a. Carlos), the wide-eyed baby boy who tags along with Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms in Las Vegas.
And there's no mistaking him four years later in The Hangover Part III, in theaters Friday.
"The cheeks kinda give it away, right?" his mom, Carrie Holmquist, jokes to PEOPLE. In honor of the third installment (the last of the series, promises director Todd Phillips), we give you a trio of little known, fun facts about the littlest member of the franchise.
1. HE WAS SURROUNDED BY THE LADIES IN VEGAS Little ladies, that is. In the first movie, the role of Tyler/Carlos was primarily played by Grant, secondarily by his twin sister Avery, along with six other babies – all girls. After some early scheduling trouble, the Holmquist twins signed on for the film. "We started shooting in Vegas and it was the pool scene, which was fun," says Carrie. "They had shot for two days prior to us getting there, so there are a couple clips in that movie where it's not Grant or Avery." Otherwise, it's about "60 percent Grant, 40 percent Avery," says their mom.

For the third installment, Grant won the role despite the initial call for 6-year-old child actors (he was 4-and-a-half when they filmed Part III) with an older understudy in place in case "he had a meltdown on set," jokes Carrie. (No spoilers here, but Grant's scene opposite Galifianakis in the latest installment is a scream.)
2. HE LOVES ZACH GALIFIANAKIS Cooper and Helms hung out with Grant between takes, but it was his scene partner, Galifianakis, who really stood out to the young actor. "Zach did an amazing job loosening Grant up," says his mom. "He's the type of kid who's very analytical and intelligent. So he kind of walks into a room and takes it all in first so it was really nice to have those personalities warm up to him." Today, "When he sees him in the trailer or in the paper, he'll go, 'Oh, there's Zachy!' He's taken to calling him Zachy," says Carrie. "Grant loves him."
"We got to do a promotional photo shoot and that was an interesting day as well," says Carrie. "We were just lounging at the studio waiting for Grant's turn and there's Bradley on one couch and John Goodman walks by and Ken Jeong and I had a great heart to heart. He's a physician and has twins, too. Just nice, nice people."
3. AND HE REALLY DIGS YODA In addition to playing soccer and loving his Legos, Grant "has an infatuation with Yoda," says Carrie. "He was interested in finding out how he uses his light saber ... but what Grant really likes about him is that he's wise. It really resonates with him that Yoda tries to reason with people first, the idea of using the force and being a great Jedi. I thought that was so cool, for a four-and-a-half year old to realize that. He's pretty amazing."

Amid all the rubble and wreckage caused by the Oklahoma tornado, Barbara Garcia stumbled upon a ray of hope.
"I was sitting on the stool, holding my dog – this was the game plan through the years, to go in that little bathroom," she told CBS News reporter Anna Werner while surveying the damage done to her home. "The electric went off in the bathroom, and about the same time, I felt the stool come up out of the floor … I never lost consciousness and I hollered for my little dog and he didn't answer or didn't come, so I know he's in here somewhere."
As she continued to survey the situation with Werner – "This is life in the big city," Garcia said – a member of the interview crew caught sight of the dog struggling to force its way out from beneath the rubble.
"Bless your little bitty heart," Garcia said, while a member of the crew helped it escape the debris, and reunite with its grateful owner.
"I thought God just answered one prayer, let me be okay," Garcia said. "He answered both of them. Because this was my second prayer."

To be a teacher is already to be a hero, but during Monday's monstrous tornado in the suburbs of Oklahoma City, Rhonda Crosswhite put her life directly on the line after first seeing that several of her students had taken refuge only moments before the twister devastated their school.
"I was in a [bathroom] stall with some kids and it just started coming down, so I laid on top of them," the sixth-grade teacher at Plaza Towers Elementary in Moore, Okla., told Savannah Guthrie on Tuesday's Today show. "One of my little boys just kept saying, 'I love you, I love you, please don't die with me.' But we're okay. We made it out."
All of the children who were with her are now safe, there was one minor injury – a cut to the head, said Crosswhite – and she herself emerged with only some scrapes on her feet, which she called "irrelevant, considering what could have happened."
"I never thought I was going to die," she said. "The whole time I just kept screaming to them, 'Quit worrying, we're fine, we're fine.' And I'm very loud, so I just hoped they could hear me, because I could hear them screaming. One girl, she's in my homeroom, was sobbing, and I was like, 'We're going to be fine, we're going to be fine, I'm protecting you.' And then I said a few prayers. 'God please take care of my kids.' And we're fine."
Recalling the tornado and its 200-m.p.h. winds, Crosswhite said, "I don't remember what it sounded like, honestly. It was like a freight train, but I don't remember much about it,'' she said about the sound of the tornado. "It felt like someone was beating me up from behind. The stuff was just coming down on my back. I thought I was fine, [but] I have cuts everywhere that I didn't even realize I had."
After the interview, Damian Britton, one of Crosswhite's charges during the ordeal, had something to give her. A great big hug.
"I told you we were going to be okay," she told him, as he murmured "Thank you" and the two dissolved into tears.

His two dogs rode shotgun, as an expressionless Pattinson, 27, in a red cap, sunglasses and increasingly scruffy beard, drove away from Stewart's Los Feliz house.
It's been a speedy spiral down for the Twilight actors in recent weeks. Having reconciled after Stewart, 23, had a fling last summer with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, they hit a rough patch earlier this month after they returned from a trip to New York.
They began spending more time at their separate homes, a source told PEOPLE, and were apart for his 27th birthday on May 13, even though they were both in town at the time.
It wasn't just teary-eyed viewers who were left speechless after Kellie Pickler's flawless, dramatic freestyle performance with Derek Hough on Monday night's Dancing with the Stars finals. The country starlet herself was also at a loss for words.
"I just feel like I let all of my walls down and I just got out there and just did my little dance," Pickler, 26, told PEOPLE backstage after her performance. "I just let myself go. There was a freedom, in a sense, that I felt. I really don't even know how to put it into words. Regardless of what happens tomorrow, I feel like I've accomplished so much being here."
Hough, 28, who admitted he and Pickler struggled with the routine during rehearsals, said, "We were super, super nervous, but right before we went on there, I kind of gave Kellie a little pep talk. I was just like, 'This is your dance. There is nobody here that can do this dance but you. This is what you're meant to do.' "
Of the beautiful ballad they danced to – Labrinth and Emeli Sandé's "Beneath Your Beautiful" – Hough said, "We were going to go with a country song, and then I heard this song, and it's like No. 1 in the U.K. When I heard the song, I immediately thought, 'This is Kellie. Seeing into beautiful.' "
Added the ballroom pro, "We all know Kellie's beautiful. We all know that she's fun and light. But see beneath that. Let's see the real you. It felt right."
Everything's relative – and family members are already praising Princess Kate for her maternal instincts.
Mike Tindall, who is married to William's cousin, Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips's daughter Zara Phillips, says father-to-be Prince William – whom he calls "Willy" – will be "outstanding" as a dad, "while Kate is a natural mother," he adds.
The rugby player told the Daily Mirror, "It's great for them. The whole family is really excited about the baby. I think everyone's excited. I'm so happy for those two. They'll be great parents."
"Having kids is something we want, but it's finding that window and we haven't quite found that yet," he said at an event for the armed forces' charity, Rugby for Heroes.
Tindall's comments came as William, 30, spoke about the interrupted nights on his horizon when the baby comes along. When William and brother Harry opened a wounded warriors' recovery center run by the charity Help for Heroes, the prince was handed a teddy bear and a onesie with the motif "My Daddy Is A Hero" on it.
Triple amputee Josh Boggi then asked the prince, "Are you looking forward to it, Sir?"
"Very much so," William replied. "But all the mothers have been looking at me [and saying,] 'Just you wait, just you wait. Long sleepless nights.' "
