Though it's been nearly two years since Gary Sinise's son lost his battle with cancer, the actor continues to carry on his legacy with the "treasure chest" of undiscovered music left behind.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, the "Forrest Gump" alum, 70, opened up about his grief journey since Mac Sinise died from a rare form of cancer in 2024 and explained how he and his family plan to keep his memory alive.
"Mac died on Jan. 5th, 2024, and actually the last year of his life was a pretty amazing year for him," Sinise recalled. "I think he was feeling like things were closing in on him. It was a very, very difficult cancer, and there was no cure and none of the drugs were working, and he kept trying to try, but nothing was giving us any real hope. And so, I think he was very practical and very realistic about what was going on, and he had some music that he wanted to work on that he never finished."
"He was in pain," he continued. "Sometimes he couldn't sit up, it was just better to recline him back in his wheelchair because of some of the pain. But he had a smile on his face through the whole thing because he was listening to this music. He'd accomplished this wonderful thing that he started out with, and then I had to take him to the hospital within a day of that, and that was the end for him."
