Cormac Roth, the musician son of actor Tim Roth, died October 16 after a year-long battle with a rare cancer, his family announced Monday. He was 25, Deadline reported.
“On Sunday the 16th of October, we lost our beautiful boy Cormac after a courageous battle with cancer,” the statement reads. “He died peacefully in the arms of his family who loved and adored him. He fought with incredible bravery for the past year, and maintained his wicked wit and humour to the very end.
A graduate of Bennington College, Cormac was an exceptionally gifted and extraordinary musician whose passion and love for making music stretched back to when his guitar was bigger than he was.
A guitarist, composer and producer wise beyond his years, Cormac’s career was just beginning to flourish.
He was a wild and electric ball of energy and his spirit was filled with light and goodness.
As wild as he was, Cormac was also the embodiment of kindness.
A gentle soul who brought so much happiness and hope to those around him.
The grief comes in waves, as do the tears and laughter, when we think of that beautiful boy across the 25 years and 10 months that we knew him. An irrepressible and joyful and wild and wonderful child. Only recently a man.”
Cormac Roth had disclosed his diagnosis last summer.
He is survived by parents Tim and Nikki Roth, and brother Hunter Roth.
