Schemm told the BBC his grandfather had been battling colon cancer and realized his time was coming to an end.
“He called his grandchildren to tell us on the Monday,” Schemm said. “We took the picture Tuesday night, and then he died from stage four colon cancer on Wednesday.”
“My dad told us that Grandpa had wanted a beer and now when I look at that picture it gives me solace,” Schemm said.
Schemm’s photo has since gone viral, picking up over 329,000 retweets and over 32,000 likes.
