Ski star's brother (34) got married shortly before his death. Kevin Holdener was suffering from a rare form of cancer.

Olympic champion Wendy Holdener herself also had her say in the Swiss-Ski press release: “The cancer thwarted Kevin's dream of his own skiing career. But Kevin impressed us with his will to survive and his love of life, he bravely stood up to the disease and was able to gain a few more valuable years of life from it,” she said.
