Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone and his family were left reeling after the untimely death of Stallone’s eldest son, Sage Moonblood Stallone, in 2012. He was just 36 years old. The actor has since reflected that there is “no greater pain” than when a parent loses a child.

“I am imploring people to respect my wonderfully talented son’s memory and feel compassion for his loving mother, Sasha,” Stallone, 73, wrote in a statement to CNN on the occasion of Sage’s passing, “because this agonizing loss will be felt for the rest of our lives.”
