Waxman Staff Writer Jun 19, 2014 5:06 PM UTC A Virginia dad died from stomach cancer at 52 before fulfilling his lifelong dream of traveling the world. Now, CNN [reports](http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/18/travel/cutout-dad-travel-jinna-yang/index.html?hpt=hp%5Fc4) his daughter, New York-based artist Jinna Yang, 25, made it come true by going around Europe in April with a life-size cutout of her dad Jay Kwon Yang, taking photos of it in front of landmarks. “Most of the time when you see a life-sized cutout, it’s of Justin Bieber or One Direction, and it’s usually in a nine-year-old’s room,” Yang [told CNN](http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/18/travel/cutout-dad-travel-jinna-yang/index.html?hpt=hp%5Fc4). Plus, the six-foot-tall cardboard figure folded up, so in terms of transportation, she joked, “I didn’t have to pay for an extra seat for dad!” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2900933/grieving-daughter-takes-life-size-cardboard-cutout-of-deceased-father-around-the-world/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2900933/grieving-daughter-takes-life-size-cardboard-cutout-of-deceased-father-around-the-world/"},"headline":"Grieving Daughter Takes Life-Size Cardboard Cutout of Deceased Father Around the World","datePublished":"2014-06-19T17:06:40.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:10:56.182Z","description":"A moving tribute to a man who always wanted to travel the globe","url":"https://time.com/2900933/grieving-daughter-takes-life-size-cardboard-cutout-of-deceased-father-around-the-world/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Family"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
