Scott Adams dead from cancer at 68, accepts Christ in final moments

( Post Millennial )

Scott Adams was pronounced dead on Tuesday morning after a battle with prostate cancer. The Dilbert cartoonist and conservative commentator, whose popular Coffee with Scott Adams streams had a wide audience, announced his illness in 2025 and documented his progress, giving listeners a look at the struggles he faced as he neared death.

In his final moments, he accepts Christ as his savior and told viewers that his Christian friends had encouraged him to do so. He had said over the past week, as his condition worsened, that he would do so. 

On Monday, he was transferred to hospice care with only a few days to live. He was 68-years-old. Earlier in January, Adams had announced that his prognosis had worsened. While he still hosted his show, it became a call-in stream where he spoke to friends and long time fans, essentially saying goodbye. 

“I talked to my radiologist yesterday. He was working on the day before New Year’s and it’s all bad news,” Adams said. “So the odds of me recovering are essentially zero. I’ll give you any updates if that changes, but it won’t.” In the fall, he had attempted experimental treatment after asking the Trump administration to intervene and help him access that treatment despite being blocked by his insurance company.

“You should prepare yourself that January will be probably a month of transition, one way or the other,” Adams said. “I haven’t made any decisions, but it was all bad news. No good news at all," he said.

His Coffee with Scott Adams program went on air on Tuesday morning and it was announced that he had died just prior to air. He had said in his final days that he intended to convert to Christianity ahead of his death. In his final message, delivered posthumously, he said that "the risk reward calculation looks so attractive to me, so here I go." In that statement, he said that while he was not a believer, he dedicated himself to Christ.
