Billionaire conservative donor and industrialist David Koch has died, his brother Charles said. He was 79.

“It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of my brother David,” Charles Koch said. “Anyone who worked with David surely experienced his giant personality and passion for life.”

“Twenty-seven years ago, David was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer and given a grim prognosis of a few years to live,” Koch continued. “David liked to say that a combination of brilliant doctors, state-of-the-art medications and his own stubbornness kept the cancer at bay. We can all be grateful that it did, because he was able to touch so many more lives as a result.”
