Forrest Gump star Gary Sinise shared the heartbreaking news of his son’s passing on the Gary Sinise Foundation‘s website and his Instagram page, revealing that the 33-year-old McCanna Anthony “Mac” Sinise lost his battle to cancer.
Mac was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer known as Chordoma on August 8, 2018, just three months after his mother was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer.
However, as his mother Moira’s treatment was successful, Mac’s condition only worsened over time, gradually robbing him of his mobility.
Gary expressed his immense grief for the loss of his loving son.
“Like any family experiencing such a loss, we are heartbroken and have been managing as best we can. As parents, it is so difficult losing a child. My heart goes out to all who have suffered a similar loss, and to anyone who has lost a loved one. We’ve all experienced it in some way. Over the years I have met so many families of our fallen heroes. It’s heartbreaking, and it’s just damn hard,” the heartbroken actor wrote.
“Our family’s cancer fight lasted for 5 ½ years, and it became more and more challenging as time went on. While our hearts ache at missing him, we are comforted in knowing that Mac is no longer struggling, and inspired and moved by how he managed it. He fought an uphill battle against a cancer that has no cure, but he never quit trying.”
A number of celebrities posted messages of support for Gary and his family on Instagram.
“We are so sorry Gary. You & your family are deeply loved by so many,” wrote Angie Harmon. “We are all praying for you. Love you so very much.”
Alyssa Milano, meanwhile, posted: “I’m so sorry, Gary. I’m praying for your family. And sending you love and strength.”
Mac’s life was a fulfilling one. He joined the Gary Sinise Foundation as an assistant manager of education and outreach and pursued his passion for music until the very end. He performed alongside his father in the Lt. Dan Band as a drummer.
Since his diagnosis, Mac had undergone five spine surgeries and was left paralyzed from his waist down, but he never stopped doing what he loved; making music. Just before his passing, he had completed work on an album Resurrection & Revival.
Mac studied songwriting and composition at the University of Southern California from where he graduated.
Gary said that the family is ensuring Mac’s album, Mac Sinise: Resurrection and Revival, is released and pressed on vinyl.
Mac was laid to rest on January 5.
We are so sorry for Gary Sinise loss. Our thoughts and prayers go to him and his family during this time of grief.
Gordon Ramsay shares update on fatherhood – addition to family comes seven years after couple lost baby
The most well-known aspect of Gordon Ramsay is his reputation as the feisty English chef who rose to prominence in the world of culinary pleasures. By now, the chef’s culinary talents have garnered him decades of attention.
He just shared his thoughts about how his sixth time as a father is going! To learn more about Ramsay’s update, continue reading.
This past weekend, Gordon Ramsay attended the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Las Vegas and was delighted to discuss the newest member of his family, a baby boy called Jesse James.
Ramsay,57, was open about being a father for the first time at his age. “Extraordinary,” he remarked with a sense of humor, “just blessed.” Additionally, I’m positive that I’ll be the oldest father at the school drop-off, so I’ll wear my spectacles and a cap.
Early this month, the couple welcomed their newest child, Jesse James Ramsay, who weighed a whopping seven pounds and ten ounces. To the Ramsay brigade, one more loving bundle! Chef Ramsay posted images of his son on social media, saying, “3 boys, 3 girls…done.”
Tana Ramsay, his wife, also announced the birth of her most recent kid on social media. The Ramsay family is complete, she wrote, adding, “It’s been a nerve-wracking nine months, but we’ve made it and we have been blessed with this little bundle.” We adore you so much, Jesse James Ramsay,” she wrote.
In 2016, the couple lost the child who was supposed to be their sixth. The renowned chef shared a message on the tragic incident at the time. He started by expressing gratitude to the public for their support over the past two weeks for both him and his wife. “We had a devastating weekend as Tana has sadly miscarried our son at five months,” he continued, spilling the beans to them.
Tana Ramsay eventually talked about her experiences four years later. She discussed the event in an interview in November 2020. This occurred following Chrissy Teigen’s 2020 public announcement of her own miscarriage, during which she was candid and open about the whole experience on social media. She received a lot of criticism for being so open about the entire ordeal.
Tana Ramsay went above and beyond to encourage Chrissy Teigen, even praising her candor. “I find it very emotional, and I thought she was amazing,” the woman remarked. I didn’t know all the details when I read about her predicament, but a lot of it sounded a lot like mine.
“I think she was amazing for talking about it and posting the photos that she did,” the woman continued. “It brings it all back.”
She thought back to her own miscarriage and how people would avoid talking about it as if it had never happened. “To be honest, when it happened to me, I found it really difficult when people would talk to me and not bring it up because it seemed like it never happened,” the woman stated.
“It was really difficult, so all I wanted to do was talk about it with friends, family, and anyone else who asked.” “It was a really hard experience—you go from having a baby kicking inside of you to suddenly it’s not there,” she continued.
She also mentioned how incredible Gordon had been during the whole thing. “Gordon was amazing. He’s always talked about everything. He was very good at talking it out of me and never giving me the feeling that maybe we shouldn’t talk about it,” the woman remarked.
Gordon Ramsay eventually spoke about the death of his son in 2016 in September 2023. Rocky was the child’s given name, and they were thrilled to have him in the family.
The 56-year-old famous chef remarked, “It was very difficult to lose Rocky.” You cannot watch or read a book that will help you get over that loss.
He talked about how the entire experience had been “life-changing.” Tana had some health concerns, so they went from celebrating the baby’s health one day to learning the next day that she had miscarried. Everything transpired in a span of one day.
He claimed that the tragic incident strengthened the bonds between their family members.
Oscar, the couple’s fifth child, was later welcomed into the world in 2019. And in 2023, they welcomed their sixth child, declaring that their family was now complete!
