Renowned actor Gary Sinise, known for his roles in “Forrest Gump” and “CSI NY,” is grieving the loss of his beloved son, McCanna “Mac” Anthony Sinise, who passed away earlier this year at the age of 33.

Reflecting on Mac’s courageous battle, Gary Sinise emphasized his son’s resilience and unwavering determination in the face of adversity. Despite the lack of a cure for chordoma, Mac never gave up hope and continued to fight with remarkable strength until the end.
