Only months after John Travolta’s wife died, his nephew Sam Travolta Jr passed away at the age of 52.
The actor is grieving the loss of his nephew, who is the son of Sam Travolta Sr. Sam’s passing comes after Kelly Preston, 57, died on July 12 following a two-year battle with breast cancer.
According to an obituary online, Sam Jr. died tragically died on September 23 at his Mount Horeb home, The Sun reported.
The screenwriter’s high school friend, Nick Mavrostomos, said to the newspaper: “He will be greatly missed, but he will always be with us.”
Sam first made headlines in 2015 when he talked about Scientology after he left the church that his actor uncle was devoted to in 2007.
He also said that his loving uncle supported him in many ways.
Kelly Preston’s battle with breast cancer was not made public until after she passed away.
Heartbroken John wrote on Instagram on July 12: “It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you that my beautiful wife Kelly has lost her two-year battle with breast cancer.
“She found a courageous fight with the love and support of so many. My family and I will forever be grateful to her doctors and nurses at MD Anderson Cancer Center, all the medical centers that have helped, as well as her many friends and loved ones who have been by her side.”
He added: “Kelly’s love and life will always be remembered. I will be taking some time to be there for my children who have lost their mother, so forgive me in advance if you don’t hear from us for a while. But please know that I will feel your outpouring of love in the weeks and months ahead as we heal. All my love, JT.”
