Mac Sinise: 5 Things About Gary Sinise’s Son Dead at 33 After Cancer Battle

The ‘Forrest Gump’ actor announced his son’s heartbreaking death via a statement on February 27. Amid the somber news, here are 5 things to know about Mac.

In the statement shared via Gary’s foundation website, the father-of-three revealed that his son had been battling a rare form of cancer since 2018. “With Mac, after surgery to remove the initial tumor in September of 2018, and another spine procedure in February 2019 to clear what looked like an infection, unfortunately a follow up scan in May of 2019 would show that his Chordoma had come back and was spreading,” Gary explained in the statement. “In June of that year, my wife Moira was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, and after surgery to remove lymph nodes, she began chemotherapy and radiation.” The 69-year-old went into remission after months of treatment and has been cancer-free since.
