Who is Living Like They Were Dying?

Ok, every time I hear this song, I sing along - because it has that quality - but about halfway through I always, get confused.  Who is the song about? 

WHO is sick?
WHO is looking at X-rays?
WHO is talking 'bout sweet time?
I don't think it's supposed to be the singer, because he keeps saying 'He said...', .i.e. referring to SAID person in the third person.
But... then much to my dismay, at one point he switches from saying, 'What would you do with it?" To "What would I do with it?"  So again, I ask ... Who is the song about?
Is it the singer's dad?
Is it just a guy the singer knows?
IS it the singer?

 
WHO went SKYDIVING?
WHO went ROCKY MOUNTAIN CLIMBING?
WHO went 2.7 seconds on a BULL named FOO-MAN CHU??

Help me please, will you?

He sang it in 2004 for his father, Tug McGraw that died from a brain tumor. My source was Wikipedia.
