Tragic news has struck actor Gary Sinise and his family as they mourn the passing of his son, McCanna Anthony “Mac” Sinise, who passed away at the age of 33.
Gary, 68, shared the devastating news of Mac’s death on the Gary Sinise Foundation‘s website and his Instagram page, disclosing that Mac lost his battle to cancer on January 5.
In a poignant statement, Gary revealed that Mac had been battling a rare form of cancer known as Chordoma since August 8, 2018. This heartbreaking diagnosis came shortly after Gary’s wife, Moira Harris, was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer.
While Moira successfully underwent treatment and entered remission, Mac’s condition deteriorated over time, gradually diminishing his strength and mobility.
Despite facing health challenges, Mac remained resilient and continued to pursue his love for music. Joining the Gary Sinise Foundation as an assistant manager of education and outreach, Mac also showcased his talent as a drummer, performing alongside his father in the Lt. Dan Band.
Mac was deeply passionate about music, graduating from the University of Southern California with a degree in songwriting and composition. Despite undergoing five spine surgeries between 2018 and 2020, Mac’s paralysis from the chest down did not impede his creativity. Shortly before his passing, he completed work on an album titled “Resurrection & Revival”.
