Several of his major film projects in recent years have been filmed and completed between surgeries and chemotherapy, while everyday life was a struggle for the actor, who kept his illness hidden.
On Friday he passed away, only 43 years old.
Shortly before his death, he had secretly married his great love: singer Taylor Simone Ledward.
