Cormac Roth, the son of well known actor Tim Roth has sadly passed away at the age of 25 after losing his battle to cancer.
Roth confirmed his son passed away mid month on October 16, following a battle with stage three germ cell cancer.
“The budding composer died peacefully in the arms of his family” they said in the statement, adding “He maintained his wicked wit and humor till the end.”
Cormac’s family continued, “He was irreplaceable and we will remember him as an electric ball of energy, who was as kind as he was wild. 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,” Cormac’s family expressed their love for him. “An irrepressible and joyful and wild and wonderful child. Only recently a man. We love him. We will carry him with us wherever we go.”
Cormac, who had been living in Los Angeles, first revealed his diagnosis in an Instagram post in April this year, as he revealed he had lost his hearing in one ear and a drastic amount of weight.
He wrote at the time, “In November of 21 I was diagnosed with stage 3 germ cell cancer. Since then I’ve been fighting it daily, throwing everything I can at it. Chemo, high dose chemo, medication, transplants, transfusions, surgeries etc. It is called Choriocarinoma, it is rare, and it has managed to stay many steps ahead of me no matter what I throw at it. It has taken away half of my hearing, 60 pounds of weight, my confidence, and will continue its murderous path until I can manage to stop it some how, and kill it.”
“But it hasn’t taken away my will to survive, or my love of making music. It hasn’t taken me down yet. If you or someone you love is effected by cancer, please feel free to reach out for it is an emotional rollercoaster unlike anything else,” he ended his post. “Love to you all please make sure to do the things that you love. Life is short. It is chaos. And you never know when it’s going to be you. Be well and go to the doctor. F**k cancer.”
Cormac was a graduate of Bennington College, as well as a talented guitarist, composer and producer with his family saying his career was ‘just beginning to flourish’.
Many of Cormac’s followers sent there condolences underneath his most recent Instagram post, which was shared in August this year.
Cormac is survived by his parents, Tim, 61, and Nikk as well as his brothers Hunter and Tim Jr and half-brother Jack Roth from Tim’s first marriage to Lori Baker.
