Global humanitarian and founder of Remote Area Medical Stan Brock died Wednesday at age 82.

Since founding RAM in East Tennessee in 1985, he was a tireless advocate for providing health, vision and dental care to those in need around the world.

Dates are yet to be announced for a celebration of life service. In lieu of flowers, Brock requested donations be sent to RAM in his memory.
