Cormac Roth, the musician son of Reservoir Dogs actor Tim Roth, died aged 25 on October 16 after being diagnosed with cancer, his family has revealed.
"He was a wild and electric ball of energy and his spirit was filled with light and goodness," the Roth family said in a statement published by Variety.
"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. We love him. We will carry him with us wherever we go."
Cormac said on his Instagram he had been diagnosed with Stage 3 germ cell cancer in November 2021.
"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," he wrote online.
"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.
"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."
