David Cook‘s oldest brother, Adam Cook, has died from brain cancer at the very young age of 37.

David Cook announced the Saturday death at the 12th annual Race for Hope 5K in Washington, D.C., where he was serving as grand marshal. The singer says the cause of death was a brain tumor.

Adam Cook was a lawyer and married father from Terre Haute, Ind., who battled cancer for more than a decade. He famously cheered for his singing sibling in the audience of the popular Fox singing competition’s seventh season in 2008.

This is not Cook’s brother who also auditioned for the show and was the real reason he was even there. That’s a younger brother, Andrew.

Our prayers and thoughts go out to David Cook and his family during this difficult time. I really believe that there will be a cure for cancer in my lifetime, and it can’t come soon enough. We love you, David!!
