The actor noted that “Mac was a man who loved his Catholic faith, and there is no doubt that his strong faith sustained him through the awful five-and-a-half-year battle with this crippling chordoma cancer.”
Mac was a gifted musician, having graduated from the University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music. He collaborated with his dad’s Lt. Dan Band shows and before his death recorded a soon-to-be released album, “Mac Sinise: Resurrection and Revival.”
”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,” Sinise continued. “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.”
Sinise also shared his son’s favorite quote, taken from St. Augustine: “You have made us for yourself O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.”
In 2016, the actor openly shared the story of his family’s spiritual journey on EWTN’s “The World Over with Raymond Arroyo” as well as his commitment from an early age to supporting members of the military and veterans, inspired by both his and his wife’s veteran family members.
Sinise’s journey to the Catholic faith began in the 1990s when his wife, Irish actress Moira Harris, rediscovered her Catholic roots and began regularly attending Mass. The family followed her and attended Harris’ confirmation on Easter Sunday in 2000.
